Hendricks heavyweight, fully automatic PRO-V vertical beam saw features ±.005 of straight line accuracy while requiring minimal floor space. An operator merely needs to place the material against the stop, press the button to activate the hold-down bar and then press the start button to rip or cross-cut anything ranging from less than ½ squares up to 10 sheets. The solid table design with solid cut plates is ideal for plastics applications. The full-length heavy-duty pneumatic pressure beam eliminates any bow in thin gauge materials while allowing for cutting of narrow strips. The PRO-V offers excellent chip collection with two dust ports and a completely concealed saw blade. With a saw blade that is behind the machine the operator is never exposed to it during operation.
