Sawing Systems, Inc. has introduced a new design on its gantry block saw. Constructed for durability in hostile working environments, this block saw has an 11-foot, 6-inch blade and 20 feet of gantry movement, although additional lengths can be furnished. The saw is equipped with a V-belt drive system and a 75-hp motor. Its maximum cutting depth is 4 feet, 9 inches, and it can handle a block 12 inches wide. Fully programmable with an automatic cutting cycle, the saw returns to the original position and shuts off automatically when cutting is completed.
