Hoffman Double Miter Saw

More details

Hoffman Double Miter SawThe MS35SF Hoffman Double Miter Saw is designed to simultaneously cut a left and right hand miter with each machining cycle.  Upon cutting the miters, the saw blades retract and the rougter carriage moves upward routing one or two dovetail keyways in the mitered ends.  The heavy-duty design of the saw heads and the routing carriage, precision machines components as well as the sue of industrial quality carbide tipped saw blades assures perfect cuts with no burrs or tear out, even on difficult to process material (such as foil or paper wrapped MDF moulding).  The location of each keyway as well as the routing height is fully adjustable to suit a wide range of applications.  In addition, the MS35SF can also be used as a production double miter saw for wood, non-ferrous metals and plastics by switching off the routing operation.Typical Applications include:mitered cabinet doors, compound mitered crown moulding, furniture components, compound mitered lighting fixutres, trophy bases, game tables, mitered picture frames, curio cabinets, architectural millwork products, jewelry and novelty boxes, bulletin boards, door and window casings, spa enclosures, base framesThe Hoffmann MS35SF Double Miter Saw is equipped with two sawing and routing stations, mounted at a fixed 90 degree angle to each other. Each station consists of a sawblade to cut the material, and a routing head to rout either one or two dovetail keyways per miter.  Solid hard and softwood as well as panel products like MDF, MDO, particleboard, and plywood can be cut to size and routed for Hoffmann dovetail keys in one cycle.  Different routing heights can be set for each position to allow the processing of profiled moulding or material joined with a compound miter.  The key locations can be adjusted by the operator from 1/4" - 3 1/8" = 6-80mm, measured from the tip of the mitered end. These adjustments are displayed on calibrated "SIKO" counters, assuring perfect repeatability.  The material is placed onto the material support on the left side of the machine. The operator actuates the pneumatic foot switch to secure the workpiece with eight pneumatic clamps. These clamps are mounted behind the sawblade guard for added safety.  Once the material is secured, the operator must press two buttons at the front of the machine simultaneously to initiate the cutting and routing cycle. This two-hand-control design forces the user to have both hands out of harms way.Machining SequenceThe MS35SF is equipped with a 7 3/4" wide aluminum fence on the right side of the machine. This fence is 63" = 160cm long, longer lengths are available. The width of 7 3/4" assures sufficient support, even for wider material. Moving the stop assembly to the desired location and locking it in place sets the workpiece length. The length measurement is shown directly on the stop assembly with a digital display, the accuracy is .001" = .01mm. The operator can change the display from fractional inches to decimal inches or decimal millimeters.An infeed material support table is supplied for the left side of the machine, the length is 63" = 160cm.Standard FeaturesThe Hoffmann MS35SF is shipped ready for operation, including infeed support table, right hand side fence system with digital display, solid carbide router bits, air filter, air regulator, and oil lubricator assembly installed, two-hand safety operation, separate flow control valves for sawblade and routerhead feed rate, emergency-stop-switch, manual and toolkit.Comes with two extra blades, a spare router, router bits, and biscuits.
