New Cyclone 600 upcut saw from RazorGage

RazorGage presents the Cyclone 600 upcut saw, designed with safety and innovation at the forefront, to cut wood and other materials up to 20” wide, according to the company.

Steve Hoshor, operations manager at RazorGage, says the Cyclone 600’s design stems from looking at what was lacking in competing products.

“There are many upcut saws available and nearly all of them are basically the same,” says Hoshor. “RazorGage began work on this new upcut saw for a few reasons, [but foremost was] that the top clamp must slide on linear bearings so that we could be confident that it would not wander during clamping.”

Other design criteria called for tables and 16” fences on both sides of the blade, accessible components, a well-supported saw spindle, and safety features.

“To address the safety, we designed the patented Safe T Crowders, two sliding handles, one on either side of the blade, which the operator uses to crowd the stock against the fence. Each handle has a thumb button and the two must be pressed simultaneously in order to cycle the saw,” says Hoshor.

The 3-phase machine, which accepts wood blades from 14” to 24” in diameter, also features a variable-speed 7.5-hp Baldor motor and two 4” dust ports.
