Schelling America Inc. has announced that it will be hosting live demonstrations of its new fm12 plate saw in its Raleigh, N.C., showroom. While visiting the showroom, hands-on training with the machine is also available through direct interaction with the Schelling staff.

“The Schelling fm12 is a versatile nonferrous metal plate saw engineered to deliver extremely high cutting performance with impeccable precision,” explained Stephen Bailey, sales manager, NF metals/plastics/steel, for Schelling America Inc. “It’s designed to cut all types of nonferrous metal and operates with exceptionally high cleanliness in both the direct cutting area and its peripheral range.”

With its robust 90-hp motor, the Schelling fm12 plate saw delivers enhanced cutting performance. The fm12 has a book height up to 10" (254 mm), with a patented CLEAN-UP function that removes 99.5 percent of chips, increasing precision while protecting plate surfaces. Schelling’s new pressure beam system ensures secure material clamping, while air flotation tables simplify heavy plate handling. The fm12 can also be operated independently or as part of an integrated automated production system.

    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).
