Manual adjustment of the scoring unit: Simple and effective. Vertical and horizontal adjustments are carried out by user-friendly mechanical levers that operate directly making precise and smooth movements. The useful mechanical stops allows immediately finding of the set position. The positioning of the controls allows their use without moving from the front of the machine.
Blade Group Trunnion for Pivoting
The double trunnion assembly for the blade tilting is part of the blade group casting. This eliminates the possibility of misalignment which exists when these parts are bolted in the place as some manufacturers do. Others use a small pivot pin to hold up the saw group.
Blade Group Pivoting Gear
Direct shaft drive coupled with rack and pinion gearing allow smooth, angle adjustment of the saw blade.
E-Z Dial Scoring Set
Adjusting the scoring set is quick and easy. Simply turn the dial to adjust the width of the score. This system eliminates the need for shims and the constant adjustment they require. It is fully adjustable in 0.1mm increments.
Cast-Iron Blade Group
The Nova SI 300S has a massive cast-iron blade group which tilts on a trunnion mechanism. This closed system allows for maximum dust removal and is the most durable tilting design. The entire blade group raises and lowers on two steel columns, and the gear assemblies are encased in a patented mechanism which does not allow dust or pitch to penetrate the joining mechanism.
