USED BY: The five largest furniture manufacturers and the five largest cabinet companies all use Whirlwind machines. Our saws are also used by some of the largest R.V. companies, aerospace companies and boat makers. Dimension plants and packaging companies have also saved time and improved their products with Whirlwind cut-off saws. Large OR small, if your company needs square cut lumber, non-ferrous metals or plastics and you're looking for ways to cut costs, give us a call.

SPEED: The Whirlwind Model 216 saw is designed to run at approximately 30 - 40 cycles per minute. Each cycle is cushioned by a heavy duty shock absorber. The cycle speed can be easily adjusted using a slotted screwdriver. Lock nuts securely hold screws in place after adjustment.

SAFETY: The Whirlwind Model 216 is an under-cut style saw. That means the blade remains in the heavy steel base until the cut is made. The cast aluminum guard / clamp holds the material in place throughout the cutting cycle. This protects the operator from kick-back and flying debris. Cast iron is used for the table top so we can provide a recessed area for the operator's hands. The raised lip between this recessed area and the blade acts as a barrier. The operator's hands should always remain in the recessed area, with palms up, while handling material. A front shield, air hose, double palm buttons and other safety devices are all standard equipment on the model 216.

WARNING: NEVER PUT FINGERS UNDER THE GUARD / CLAMP.

ACCURACY: The Whirlwind Model 216 is manufactured using the latest C.N.C. machinery. The model 216 is a further refinement of a well proven design. Whirlwind saws are renowned for their exceptional accuracy. The model 216 certainly continues that tradition. Nothing but the finest components and raw materials are used in Whirlwind saws. Things like chrome-moly spindles and heavy steel spindle housings keep Whirlwind saws accurate for years. We also run each and every Whirlwind machine for 4 hours prior to shipment.

MISCELLANEOUS: The model 216 uses a 20" x 1" bore blade. Blades are not included. We are a stocking Systi-Matic distributor and highly recommend their blades for this machine. A 4" dust chute is supplied with the machine. Approximately 500 C.F.M. should be provided for dust collection. The model 216 is made with pride in the U.S.A.!

CUTTING CYCLE: Each cutting cycle is composed of 4 steps. You must adjust the guard / clamp to within approximately 3/8" of material prior to using the saw.

• Guard / clamp comes down and holds material in place.
• After material is clamped, blade comes up and makes the cut.
• After cut is complete, blade drops below table.
• Guard / clamp then releases material.

SPECIAL USES: Many major corporations have discovered how well Whirlwind saws work on aluminum, copper, brass, P.V.C. and other materials. We even have a customer cutting brake lining material! Saws for cutting non-ferrous metal or plastics should be ordered with a spray mist attachment. Call us with your special sawing requirements.
