Original Saw - 12" Contractor Duty Radial Arm Saws
The Contractor Duty Series wood cutting saws are an industrial rated radial arm saw that has the versatility to crosscut, bevel cut and miter cut. These saws are well suited for wood cutting up to a 3″ depth of cut, as well as cutting off 24″ wide panels for squaring shelving and doors and other similar applications. These machines are found in small lumber yards, custom cabinet shops, schools, contractor shops, crating departments or anywhere smaller material is being cut off, miter cut, bevel cut, sized or dado work is being done.
 
The Contractor Series radial arm saws continue to be a workhorse with a TEFC motor and internal automatic brake, as well as a new, more durable powder coated finish.

The machines are fully assembled and tested in our facility and then packaged with the legs boxed on the skid. This makes setup is a snap. Simply lift up the machine and install the legs.

    Motors
    All Contractor Duty, Heavy Duty and Super Duty Series motors are manufactured in our Northern Iowa facility. Producing our own motors allows us to uphold a very high level of quality in our machines. These totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motors are manufactured with cooling ducts that move air through the motor laminations to keep them cool while keeping the internal portion of the motor sealed from dust and contamination. These motors also offer the added benefit of an integrated electro-mechanical brake system. These brake systems continue to operate even when the power drops out. Electronic brake systems cannot compete with the durability or reliability of our electromechanical brake systems.
