Safety Speed 6400 Panel Saw

The 6400 provides a 64″ maximum crosscut while the 6800 provides a 74″ maximum crosscut. The maximum ripcut (horizontal) is dependent on pushing the panel through.

Upgrades on the 6400 & 6800 model panel saws compared to our H-Series Panel Saws include:

• An upgraded, worm drive motor providing greater longevity.
• 1/64″ straight and square cutting tolerance compared to 1/32″ on our H-Series Machines that’s made possible by additional bearings.
• Additional steel welded at a diagonal plane adding significant weight to the frame.
• A weighted pulley system for pulling the saw motor up and down the guide tubes vs a spring loaded counter balance.
• Additional bearings within the motor providing a tighter cutting tolerance.
• Aluminum material rollers  instead of red material rollers .

Standard Equipment

• 3 Hp worm driven heavy-duty saw motor.
• 10 ft. welded steel frame.
• Chrome-plated 1 3/4″ guide tubes.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the Saw Regularly: Check the frame, guide rails, and cutting mechanism for wear, damage, or misalignment. Tighten any loose bolts or fasteners.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a suitable lubricant to the guide tubes, rollers, and carriage bearings to ensure smooth movement and reduce wear.
• Clean the Machine: After each use, remove sawdust, debris, and residue from the blade area, guide rails, and motor housing to prevent buildup and overheating.
• Monitor the Blade Condition: Regularly inspect the saw blade for dullness, warping, or damage. Replace or sharpen the blade as necessary for clean and accurate cuts.
• Test Safety Features: Ensure all safety guards, blade covers, and emergency stop mechanisms are functional and securely in place.
• Check Cutting Alignment: Periodically verify the alignment of the blade and the fence to ensure accurate and straight cuts. Adjust as needed.
• Use Correct Materials: Operate the saw only on materials that meet the manufacturer's recommended thickness and type to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
• Replace Worn Components: Monitor the condition of rollers, bearings, and other wear-prone parts, replacing them as needed to maintain optimal performance.
• Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always use safety goggles, hearing protection, and a dust mask to safeguard against debris, noise, and dust exposure.
• Store Properly: When not in use, keep the saw in a clean, dry location, and cover it to protect against dust and environmental damage.
