Not just another electric powered saw...

List of features that distinguish it from all others:

  • Pure vertical motion of the saw blade. Easily makes cuts that scroll saws can’t.
  • Fail-safe. If the blade breaks, it instantly stops! The cable-drive cannot function unless the blade is complete. (you cannot push a rope).
  • 2-1/2" stroke. Uses standard jewelers blades 8/0 to 8 (5-1/8" long). Adjustable stroke for thicker material.
  • Hold down foot. Adjustable for material thickness. Reduces blade breakage, as part cannot lift.
  • Carbide buttresses for blade. The blade is supported above and below the metal being cut. This prevents “bowing” of the blade, increasing blade life.
  • Toggle link tensioning blade. Finger adjustable knurled nut at upper rear of frame.
  • Blade tilts 45° each way. Table stays stable.
  • Variable speed. Uses a Foredom CC series* foot control (not supplied). Speeds: ZERO to 160 STROKES PER MINUTE. The slower speeds allow the blade to dissipate heat, increasing life.
  • Clamps to bench with two hand-knobs. Easily removable when finished.
  • 8" deep throat.
  • Made in the USA.

Requires a Foredom C.FCT-1 foot pedal or similar controls with standard 3 prong plug connection. Will not work with Foredom TX, LX or old R type foot controls. We’ve had good luck with the Lucas “Lo-Boy” pedals from Lucas Dental. They have great low end control that helps to get the most out of the power saw.

We also use the Foredom C.EM-1 tabletop control here in the shop when we test them before shipping. The table top controls are a different way of working, but very handy. The tabletop units might almost be our favorite way of controlling the saw.
