3 Description of machine
Thank you for purchasing the PROXXON KGS 80 Crosscut and mitre
saw.
The saw is not only excellently suited for small yet fine applications
for separating wood, non-ferrous metals and plastics, but also larger
round and square materials can be easily cut in two no matter whether
with a straight cut or with a precise and freely adjustable mitre.
The work piece is clamped in the integrated vice for sawing and
separating. The centrically clamped jaws ensure that the imaginary
centre line of the vice opening - therefore the centre of the work
piece - will always "hit" the centre of the saw blade independent of
the selected work piece width.
Clamping round materials is no problem. The prismatic groove en-
sures the safe and reliable clamping of round materials. For thin, yet
relatively wide work pieces (up to 65 mm) there is another groove
on the top of the clamping jaw.
