A pneumatic saw and clamp system that eliminates torch cutting and lets users produce clean accurate cuts on thick steel plate fast with no heat affect zone (HAZ) is available from ESCO Tool. ESCO’s APS-438 air-powered saw and Quick-Clamp sets up fast using a 2”-wide steel track and has two wedge-style clamps that attach to steel plate up to 15’ wide by 3.5” thick and accepts the saw. Eliminating torch cutting and the resulting HAZ, this saw mounts rigidly onto a bracket that glides along the track on four V-grooved steel wheels to make straight, clean accurate cuts.
Ideally suited for the on-site fabrication of structures, tanks, ships and related products, ESCO’s APS-438 air-powered saw and Quick-Clamp can cut steel plate and highly alloyed materials. The 3-hp air-powered saw provides a 4-3/8” cutting depth, has a cut line indicator and gage to simplify alignment, and the steel track comes in 5’ to 15’ sections.

sawing machine ( saw)
Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
