Description
Performance Features
The K20SW is a 20" wet abrasive cutoff saw built for straight, controlled sectioning of metals, including hard-to-cut alloys. Its flood coolant system helps manage cutting heat, making the saw well suited for production cutting, inspection work, and materials testing sample preparation.
20" Abrasive Cutting Capacity
- Uses a 20" abrasive wheel for cutting solid bar and structural shapes.
- Handles mild steel capacities up to 4" solid bar and 6" shapes.
- Makes straight 90-degree cuts for sectioning and inspection work.
Flood Coolant at the Cut
- A steel coolant tank and industrial recirculating pump support wet cutting.
- Flexible nozzles direct coolant where the wheel meets the material.
- Helps reduce heat buildup and limit distortion in cut samples.
Power for Industrial Sectioning
- The standard 15 HP, three-phase motor supports demanding daily cutting.
- A 20 HP, three-phase motor is available for tougher applications.
- The 1,950 RPM spindle provides steady wheel speed through the cut.
Secure Material Holding
- The air-operated chain vise holds bars, shapes, and irregular workpieces.
- Firm workholding helps the operator maintain a stable, repeatable cut.
- Optional air-jaw vises and a T-slot table support specialized setups.
Heavy Industrial Construction
- A cast iron saw arm and single cast iron trunnion provide a rigid cutting platform.
- The steel base includes a three-sided shroud to help contain coolant and cutting debris.
- A replaceable steel guard protects the V-belt drive.
Hands-On Cutting Control
- Manual operation gives the operator direct control over the cutting feed.
- Magnetic controls use 24-volt on/off push buttons.
- An optional air-over-oil power downfeed is available for more consistent cutting.
Applications & Industries
This industrial metal sectioning saw fits operations that need controlled cuts for evaluation, preparation, or downstream processing. It can cut steel, stainless steel, cast iron, Inconel, and other tough metals when the correct abrasive wheel and cutting setup are used.
Materials Testing Laboratories
Cut metallographic samples to a practical size before mounting, grinding, polishing, or microscopic examination. Wet cutting helps control heat that could affect the sample.
Quality Control Departments
Prepare metal coupons and production samples for inspection, hardness testing, weld evaluation, and failure analysis without sending the work outside the shop.
Foundries and Metallurgical Operations
Section castings, test pieces, and metal samples for process checks and material verification. The coolant system helps operators manage heat while cutting dense or difficult material.
Fabrication and Welding Shops
Cut steel bars, stainless components, structural shapes, and welded assemblies for inspection, rework, or further fabrication without sending the work outside the shop.
Machine Shops and Production Floors
Use the K20SW as a dedicated wet abrasive cutoff machine for straight sectioning jobs that are not a good fit for conventional sawing methods.
Maintenance and Failure Analysis
Remove damaged sections, open worn components, and prepare representative samples so maintenance and engineering teams can examine what happened and plan the repair.
