Safety Speed SR5 Panel Saw and Router Combo

The SR5 & is ideal for shops doing extensive cutting, and dado or rabbet routing. The SR5 can be changed from a saw to a router in under a minute while delivering an accuracy of 1/64” straight and square. Includes an interchangeable motor carriage with rotating saw for vertical and horizontal cutting. The patented self-adjusting, floating router carriage provides a consistent depth of cut. Our MID-WAY Fence® allows for processing smaller panels at waist level. If both panel cutting and routing are part of your operation, why not consider one machine that will do both?

For shops with limited space, this versatile machine is ideal where both panel sizing and panel routing are required. Ask about our V-grooving package.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Remove sawdust and debris from the saw blade, router, rails, and other areas after each use. Use a soft cloth, air compressor, or vacuum system to prevent buildup that could affect performance.

• Inspect and Replace Saw Blade: Regularly check the saw blade for dullness, chips, or wear. Replace or sharpen the blade as needed to ensure clean, precise cuts and prevent damage to the motor.

• Router Bit Maintenance: Inspect router bits for dullness or chips. Replace or sharpen bits when necessary to ensure clean routing and prevent strain on the motor.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically lubricate the rails, carriage system, and other moving components to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. Use the manufacturer-recommended lubricant for optimal performance.

• Check Fasteners and Alignment: Inspect all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are secure. Verify that the saw and router systems are properly aligned to maintain cutting and routing precision.

• Dust Collection System Maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean the dust collection system. Clear any blockages in the hoses and filters to ensure efficient dust extraction and maintain proper airflow.

• Inspect Electrical Components: Check all electrical connections, wiring, and switches for wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the system is properly grounded and replace any damaged parts.

• Check Feed System: Inspect the feed rollers and conveyor system for wear or misalignment. Clean and lubricate rollers to ensure smooth material feeding.

• Monitor Motor Performance: Check both the saw and router motors for any unusual noises or overheating. Ensure proper ventilation and cooling to maintain motor efficiency.
