Easy to operate, the Triumph 4850 offers an impressive cutting capacity, with a cutting length of 18 5/8″ and cutting height of a full 3″. Users can position the backgauge with the convenient hand crank, and the precision backgauge spindle guarantees exact cuts. After the backgauge is set and you are ready to make your cut, simply press the two-step activating bars. Both the clamp and blade are controlled by the “Easy Cut” activating bars. Separate trigger points on these bars prompt the blade and clamp independently. The Easy Cut system ensures true two-hand operation for heightened user safety. An optical cutting line with bright and durable LEDs dictate exactly where the cut will be made. The Safety Cutting System (SCS) provides additional safety features. The hinged safety guard located on the front table is electronically controlled and safety cover on the rear table protect the user against harmful cutting. Cuts can only be executed when this hinged safety shield is closed and secured. Other features include main switch and safety lock with key, automatic blade and clamp return from every position, and disc brake for instant blade stop. The blade and cutting sticks can be changed or rotated from the front of the machine without removing any covers. The German made, high quality steel blade is safe and easy to remove thanks to the blade changing device. This solid all-metal constructed Triumph 4850 comes complete with a stand and storage shelf. The handy tool holder fits on the back table and holds any tools needed for the machine.
