MODEL
216
SEMI-AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF
SAW
USED
BY:
The
five
largest furniture manufacturers
and the
five
largest cabinet companies
all
use
Whirlwind machines. Our saws are also used
by
some of the largest
R.V.
companies, aerospace
companies and boat makers. Dimension plants and
packaging companies have also saved time and
improved their products with Whirlwind cut-off
saws. Large OR small,
if
your company needs
square cut lumber, non-ferrous metals
or
plastics
and you're looking for ways to cut costs, give us a
call.
SPEED:
The Whirlwind Model
216
saw
is
designed
to run at approximately
30
-
40
cycles per minute.
Each cycle
is
cushioned
by
a heavy duty shock
absorber. The cycle speed can be easily adjusted
using a slotted screwdriver. Lock nuts securely hold
screws
in
place after adjustment.
SAFETY:
The
Whirlwind Model
216
is
an
under-cut style
saw.
That
means the blade remains in the heavy steel
base until the cut
is
made.
The
cast aluminum guard I
clamp holds the material
in
place throughout the cutting
cycle. This protects the operator from kick-back and
fly-
ing debris. Cast iron
is
used for the table
top
so we can
provide a recessed area for the operator's hands.
The
raised
lip
between this recessed area and the blade acts as
a barrier.
The
operator's hands should always remain in
the recessed area, with palms up, while handling materi-
al.
A front shield, air hose, double palm buttons and other
safety devices are
all
standard equipment
on
the model
216
.
WARNING: NEVER
PIACE
YOUR
FINGERS
UNDER THE GUARD
/CIAMP.
ACCURACY:
The Whirlwind Model
216
is
manufactured
using the latest C.N.C. machinery.
The
model
216
is
a
further refinement of a
well
proven design. Whirlwind
saws are renowned for their exceptional accuracy. The
model
216
certainly continues that tradition. Nothing but
the finest components and raw materials are used in
Whirlwind saws. Things like chrome-moly spindles and
heavy steel spindle housings keep Whirlwind saws accu-
rate for years. We also run .each and every Whirlwind
machine for 4 hours prior to shipment. This sort of atten-
tion to detail keeps Whirlwind at the top!

CUTTING
CYCLE:
Each cutting cycle
is
composed of 4
steps.
You
must adjust the guard I clamp to within
approximately
1/4"
of material prior to using the saw.
1. Guard/ clamp comes down and holds material in place.
2. After material
is
clamped, blade comes up and makes
the cut.
3. After cut
is
complete, blade drops below table.
4. Guard/ clamp then releases material.
SAFETY
NOTE:
The
cutting cycle can be quickly reversed
by
removing
one
or both hands from the palm buttons.
SPECIAL
USES:
Many major corporations have discov-
ered how
well
Whirlwind saws work
on
aluminum, cop-
per, brass, P.V.C. and other materials. We even have a
customer cutting brake lining material! Saws for cutting
non-ferrous metal
or

all,
