Saw unit tilts up to 46° to either side incl. 5 kW (6.8 HP) VARIO drive
The ability to tilt the saw unit up to 46° to either side makes the F 45 an even more versatile cutting machine. There is no need to adjust the extraction hood either, as it simply follows the saw unit. The entire movement, from full tilt one way to full tilt the other, takes just 12 seconds. One of the main applications for the two-way tilt function is the sawing of internal mitres, which can be done easily and safely using the crosscut fence. Just as straightforward are simple bevel cuts and compound mitres. VARIO infinitely variable speed control (2000 – 5000 rpm) makes operation even faster and more user-friendly, while the extremely compact design of the synchronous motor allows it to be linked to the saw shaft with a rigid connection, eliminating at a stroke the potential for faults associated with indirect belt-based linkages. The tilt adjustment feature, which is firmly anchored at the centre of mass of the saw unit, has already proven its mettle 10000 times over in the one-way tilting F 45: in short, it simply does not twist! The maintenance-free tilt quadrants use a tongue and groove connection system with automatic lubrication.
