Radial arm cross cut saws offer ultimate flexibility
When it comes to versatility radial arm machines remain the ultimate choice. The sawing head is mounted on an arm protruding over the table and the operator manually pulls it across and through the workpiece. The main advantage is that compound angles can be cut by adjusting the angle of the arm and the tilt of the saw head. It should be noted however that this method of crosscutting can be dangerous if not carried out carefully.

Semi-automatic crosscutting for safe operation
An upstroke (or up cut) crosscut saw offers a safe working method for operators and should be considered when only 90° cuts are required. Two separate buttons are pressed by the operator to start the cutting cycle keeping hands well away from the saw blade. A clamp secures the material from above and the sawblade travels up through the material before returning to its home position safely inside the machine.

Crosscut Saws Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a crosscut saw used for?
-
The main use of a crosscut saw is to cut timber and other similar material to length and remove defects such as knots (sometimes referred to as shakes). To avoid wasted production time this process is normally carried out at the start of the machining process.
-
-
What is the difference between a crosscut saw and a rip saw?
-
A crosscut saw cuts solid wood across the grain to the correct length. A rip saw cuts with the grain, down the length of timber.
-
-
What are the different types of crosscut saw?
-
The term crosscut saw can be applied to a number of machine types including radial arm saws, chops saws, up-cut saws, pendulum saws and more.
-
-
What operations can be carried out on a crosscut saw?
-
In addition to sizing and trimming lengths of timber, more advanced operations can be performed on a crosscut depending on the make and model. These include; trenching/ grooving; angled and bevel cutting (compound mitre cuts); pointing of stakes. Note some manufactures of crosscut saws offer a ripping facility by turning the sawing head through 90 degrees. Ripping on a crosscut saw is considered extremely high risk and very dangerous. It is therefore the opinion of Daltons Wadkin that ripping should never be attempted under any circumstance on a crosscut saw.
-
-
What is the difference between a manual and automatic crosscut saw?
-
A manual crosscut saw requires the operator to manually position the timber workpeice for the correct dimension and then physcially power the cutting head through the material, usually by pulling the saw carriage towards them. An automatic crosscut saw works from a predefined cutting list, positioning the timber to the correct length, carrying out the cut and ejecting the finished workpiece all on its own with no operator input.
-
-
How do I set my timber to cut the correct length with a crosscut saw?
-
Manual crosscut saws are usually supplied with a sacrificial fence and bed/ table. To set the workpiece to the correct length for cutting a graduated fence and stop can be used.
-
-
What materials can I cut with a crosscut saw?
-
With the correct tooling and safety measures in place, it is possible to cut a range of materials with a crosscut saw including solid wood, wood based panels (MDF, plywood etc), composites, recylced plastic “wood” , non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper etc) and more.
