Whether you need a full 10-1/2 foot cut on long panels, or you have space constraints yet still need the features of a big saw, POWERMATIC® has the right saw for you. The HPS Horizontal Panel Saw features a generous size sliding carriage assembly that travels effortlessly on precision ball bearings guided by hardened and ground support rods. Heavy walled extrusions on both the slider and support beam eliminate distortion and twist found on some machines. All carriage parts are hard anodized to prevent marring of the workpiece and insuring the life of the parts. The saw body of heavy steel plate is full seam welded to provide a strong platform and base leveling screws assure an accurate installation. Crosscut tables are box-welded components and cross braces are full seam welded to prevent distortion, even with the heaviest loads. A two position cross cut fence with extension and dual flip stops makes short work of big jobs quickly and accurately. The main table of cast iron supports the rugged rip fence, which locks on a solid steel guide bar. The rip fence features a dual position fence body and has a micro-adjust for precise cuts. The main saw unit consists of massive steel plates that carry the main and scoring motors. All rise/fall and tilting controls are fully enclosed to prevent dust contamination. Blades and riving knives are shrouded under the table and have dust collection and blade brushes to minimize nuisance dust. Other features include: dual dust collection ports, overarm blade guards with dust collection, full-size miter gauge with fence, extension, stock clamp and flip stop, auxiliary panel supports, rear outfeed extension table, right side extension table. Also included are self-braking motors and independent external scoring adjustment with separate switch. All this and a host of other features are included.
