3. Composition of the Machine

The Stromab PS 50 F pendulum saw consists of the following main components:

• Sturdy Frame: Made of steel, it ensures stability and durability of the machine during cutting.
• Circular Blade: 500 mm diameter blade, designed for deep and precise cuts. Mounted on a pendulum arm that allows the oscillating motion required for cutting.
• 7.5 HP Motor: Powerful electric motor powers the blade, providing enough power to cut through thick and hard materials.
• Idler Roller Tables: Two 2-meter roller tables, one on the left and one on the right of the machine, to facilitate the movement of the wood during cutting.
• Large Stop: Positioning tool that helps keep the piece of wood stable and in the right position for an accurate cut.
• Safety System: Includes blade guards and emergency switches to ensure operator safety.

4. Use and Optimization

How to use:

1. Machine Preparation:

   • Check that the blade is sharp and properly secured.
   • Check that the roller tables are free from obstacles and ready to support the material.

2. Wood Placement:

   • Place the piece of wood on the roller table, using the large stop to ensure correct alignment with the blade.
   • Adjust the blade height according to the thickness of the wood.

3. Execution of the Cut:

   • Start the engine and lower the pendulum arm with the blade onto the wood, making the cut with a smooth, controlled motion.
   • Use the idler rollers to move the workpiece during cutting if necessary.

When to use it:

• Cutting solid wood: Ideal for working with beams and other large wooden elements.
• Jobs requiring precision: Thanks to the large stop and large diameter blade, it is perfect for operations requiring precision and accuracy.
• Woodworking Production: Suitable for production environments where wood materials need to be cut to size efficiently and quickly.

Materials it works with:

• Solid wood
• Wooden beams and planks
• Wood panels and derived materials

Formulas for cutting optimization:

• Cutting speed (V):
  V=n×D×π1000V = \frac{n \times D \times \pi}{1000}
  $V$ $=$ 1000 n × D × π ​Where

  • nn $n$ is the blade rotation speed (rpm),
  • DD $D$ is the blade diameter (mm),
  • VV $V$ is the cutting speed (m/min).

• Feed force: Adjust the pressure and speed with which the pendulum arm lowers to avoid excessive strain on the blade and ensure a clean cut.

5. Maintenance

Ordinary Maintenance:

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade and roller tables to remove sawdust and wood debris.
• Checking the Blade: Check the sharpness of the blade regularly and sharpen or replace it when necessary.
• Lubrication: Apply lubricant to bearings and moving parts to prevent wear.

Extraordinary Maintenance:

• Engine Overhaul: Check the engine periodically, making sure it is operating properly and that the electrical connections are secure.
• Replacing Worn Parts: Monitor the wear of major components such as belts, bearings, and the blade, and replace them as necessary.

6. Alternatives and Considerations for Buying Used

Alternatives:

• Band saws: For more complex cuts and jobs requiring curved or shaped cuts.
• Table saws: Suitable for smaller, more precise cuts, but less suitable for very large materials.

Choosing a Used Car:

• Blade Condition: Check the blade for wear and consider whether it needs to be replaced.
• Engine Condition: Make sure the engine is running properly without any abnormal noises or vibrations.
• Frame Stability: Check that the frame and overall structure of the machine are in good condition, with no signs of damage or corrosion.

Why it is better to buy used:

• Savings: Buying a used car can offer significant savings over buying a new one, especially if the car has been used little and maintained well.
• Proven performance: A used machine in good condition, like this pendulum saw, has already demonstrated its reliability and durability over time.
• Additional equipment: Used machines are often sold with accessories or additional components, such as roller tables and large stops in this case.

The Stromab PS 50 F pendulum saw is an excellent choice for those who need a robust and precise wood cutting machine. With its large-diameter blade and large roller tables and fence, this saw offers a complete solution for cutting large wood materials. Buying a used model, if in excellent condition as described, represents an opportunity to obtain high quality at a reduced price.
