Description
Blade loading and tooth weld galling ruin cuts when sectioning thick aluminum billets on slow-speed ferrous saws. The JET J-CK350-4K 350MM Non-Ferrous high speed cold saw cuts aluminum profiles cleanly using a 3000 RPM direct-drive motor. Massive tooth speeds throw razor-sharp hot chips across the work station, demanding full operator face protection and functional vacuum shrouds.
A heavy cast iron arm supports a high-RPM four-horsepower motor wired for 440-volt three-phase industrial shop power. Dual manual cam-locking vises clamp work stock securely to stop extrusion twist during high-speed carbide blade entry. Precision linear bearings guide the plunge head stroke, while high-velocity mist coolant injectors apply ethanol or light oil mist to the tungsten carbide teeth to prevent aluminum chip welding under friction heat.
High Speed Cut Hardware Specifications
Aluminum extrusion fabrication requires fast surface speeds to generate mirror edge finishes without melt burrs. Double vise jaws prevent workpiece deformation during fast chop cycles.
- 4 HP 440-volt three-phase electric motor spins blades at 3000 RPM for fast aluminum cutting
- 350 mm carbide-tipped blade slices five-inch solid aluminum round bar stock without blade bind
- Pneumatic mist lubrication atomizes light coolant fluid directly onto tooth faces during cuts
- Dual-clamping manual vise system locks both sides of the kerf to stop cutoff whip
- Heavy cast iron pivot housing eliminates blade tilt flutter during heavy plunge strokes
- Forty-five-degree mitering capability left and right facilitates rapid structural frame angles
- Rigid steel floor base encloses the pneumatic mist tank and electrical contactor modules
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Under idle operation at 440 volts three-phase, the direct-drive motor draws 2.1 amps per phase. Chopping a four-inch solid 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion pushes draw to 5.8 amps per phase for three seconds without dropping blade RPM. Acoustic sound levels scream at 94 dBA during cutting action, requiring ear protection. Temperature across the cut face stays below 110 degrees Fahrenheit due to rapid chip clearing and mist evaporation.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not attempt to cut steel pipe, stainless plate, or iron bar on this machine. High rotational speeds instantly shatter carbide teeth on ferrous stock, creating ballistic shrapnel hazards. Wipe fine aluminum shavings from the vise guide ways before clamping delicate anodized extrusions. Check pneumatic mist lubricator fluid levels before commencing daily cutting runs. Inspect carbide blade tips for missing teeth or chipped corners prior to starting shifts.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 2-Year limited warranty covers structural defects and motor failure under industrial usage. The shipment includes the 350 mm cold saw unit, structural pedestal base, mist coolant delivery unit, dual manual vises, material stop, and documentation.
