The Universal Cutting Saw runs on the same rails [part of the casting bed] as those used for the molding machine unless the design is changed to suit other arrangements.

The Universal Cutting Saw is composed of:

• A gantry-type traveling main frame straddling the casting bed, with two driven wheels and two trailing wheels, with the operator’s stand mounted on one end, and the reels for both power cable and water hose on the other end, respectively;
• A machine support beam [traverse], mounted into the main frame perpendicular to the direction of travel, and supported by four rack-and-pinion drives for moving up and down;
• A rotating machine support console, with indexing drive from plus 90° to minus 90°, and support bracket for the V-belt driven saw blade; the console is riding on the support beam by means of a reversible travel mechanism for traversing;
• The saw motor with drive pulley, mounted onto the support console.
