Ironwood’s SL Series of sliding table saws brings ultimate flexibility and versatility to an intuitive cutting solution. Designed to be a blend of innovation, dependability, and quality, the SL Series delivers the quality and precision required for the final chip-free cut, improving the results of subsequent machining (i.e. edgebanding, drilling, etc.). This reduces assembly time, as parts fit easier, material costs are reduced, and the need for other machinery can be eliminated. Ideal for panel and solid wood processing, the series is capable of making perfect miters, as well as rip, jointing, and cross cuts.
The SL Series features aircraft grade aluminum sliding tables manufactured in Europe with perfected vertical guidance for accurate square cuts over the full cutting length. The sliding table’s smooth and precise movement reduces operator fatigue and is totally maintenance free. The chrome hardened guiderails ensure that the sliding carriage traverses straight without lateral movement.
The rugged cast iron frame is robotically welded for absolute precision and strength to support heavy cutting operations. The saw unit is electronically balanced and precisely positioned to provide vibration-free running during the cutting process. In addition to its heavy-duty design, the Ironwood SL Series complies with the highest standards of international efficiency by using IE3 motors which reduce energy consumption over the life of the machine and improve global footprint.
