Types of saws

There is a lot of different types of saws.

It usually works by material first :

• PVC / Aluminium / Wood
• Steel

Then by type of material size

• Pannels (doors or others)
• Profiles (extrusions)

Angles

• 90 degree (straight cut)
• 45 degree (windows, frames, rectangular finished product)
• Arbitrary angles 0 to 180 (Structural, shapes etc)

Heads

• Single head saw
• Double head saw
• Cutting center (1 to 3 blades generally but automated)

Automation

• Manual positioning
• 1 axis (positions at the input length)
• 2nd-3rd axis (setting of the angle on 1 or 2 heads)
• Loading module (can pre-load a certain number of profiles)
• Off-loading module (belts or tables)

Let’s just say there are almost indefinite configurations. That’s why it is best to talk with a specialist about your needs.
