KVAL model
979-2 Miter Trim Saw is designed to cut
casing for doors and windows at rates up to
30 pieces per minute for softwood material.
When the 979-2 is equipped with option B it
is capable of cutting mitered ends on door
stop. The 979-2 saw heads cut down from
above the face of the casing to eliminate
any tear out on the face. There is also a
chip out support below the saw to prevent
any deflection in thin casing as the saw
passes through it. This is especially
important when cutting MDF casing, or
pre-finished casing. This design allows the
scraps to drop below the machine into waste
bins (Not included) without assistance from
compressed air nozzles. The air consumption
of the 979-2 operating at maximum capacity
is only 8 CFM.
The 979-2 will miter side casing, with a 90
degree trim on the bottom, up to 98” long on
the short side of the miter. Head casing,
mitered on both ends, can be cut as short as
12-3/8” measured on the short side. The feed
hopper may be easily adjusted to accommodate
material up to 4-1/2” wide and up to 1-1/4”
thick. The pieces of casing are fed from the
hopper by a reciprocating dog system. The
feed dog systems on each carriage are tied
together with a timing shaft to insure that
each piece of casing is precisely positioned
under the saws every time. Each cutting head
is equipped with a 3 HP, 3450 RPM, TEFC,
three phase motor. The saw motors have 1”
diameter arbors.
Push button switches allow the operator to
quickly change the saw head between 45
degrees and 90 degrees. Heavy duty stops
insure the accuracy of the angle setting
every time. There are two options available
for the 979-2 to automatically adjust the
movable head position for each angle of the
individual saw heads.
