Wadkin Bursgreen BSWHD 400R - Heavy Duty Rip Saw

This Wadkin Bursgreen Rip Saw is constructed around a heavy gauge welded steel chassis with a heavily braced cast iron table of very generous proportions.

An ideal saw for producing large frames for roofing, joists, gate posts or processing other heavy timbers.

The 5.6kW 415v 3ph motor drives the 400mm blade giving ample power even at the maximum 130mm depth of cut. There is a 680mm width of cut from blade to fence, the rip fence being a heavy cast iron base running on a solid steel bar with fine width adjustment and a deep section alloy extrusion sliding fence rail. Fitted with cam lock clamps, this fence will remain in place even under arduous cutting conditions. A heavy duty cast iron mitre fence running in a T slot is provided.

There is a full overhead crown guard provided for full blade protection, complete with excellent provision for dust extraction. The saw motor/arbor frame is a massive casting providing rigidity and vibration damping qualities, all adjustments to the blade height and tilt being made by the extra large cast iron hand wheels. The hand wheels also have built in locking facilities to prevent movement of the blade from the settings made, and are exceptionally smooth in operation. A conveniently situated switch box has a locking emergency stop button, features overload protection and individual phase fuses.

A separate foot operated emergency stop switch is conveniently situated to provide extra operator safety. Supplied with a 400mm diameter, 28T rip blade.
