Axminster AWFS16 Fretsaw

A cast iron base and cast iron table are two essential ingredients for many woodworking machines, particularly those with reciprocating mechanism where the weight of the cast iron can help to minimise vibration. Powered by a 90W motor and with a capacity of 50mm under the guide (a realistic depth of cut would be 20mm with the right blade), the fretsaw has a 400mm(16") throat, with a table which tilts over to a full 0-45°. The two blade arms are independently pivotted which gives a straight up-and-down motion to the blade and a better quality of cut. A small blower tube is positioned alongside the blade; this keeps the work area clear of dust and gives a clear view of the cut line. The machine accepts pinned blades, which can be placed in the machine either in line or at 90° if cutting longer lengths of material. For fine work, unpinned blades can be used in conjunction with the blade adaptors (supplied with machine). Supplied with blower, blade adaptors, guards and service tools. A wide range of either pinned or unpinned blades is available.
