This makes it the ideal saw for craftsmen who work in both wood and metal. Patented disc brake stops the momentum almost instantaneously. Strong, smooth running BLDC motor makes the 14|CX stand out.

Meanwhile, wood, foam, plastics, and other materials cut much better with higher blade speeds as they are much less harsh on the blade. The 14|CX allows you to easily control the blade speed to ensure optimum performance across all these material types! The 14|CX gives you ultimate versatility unlike a traditional Resaw that has a fixed blade speed that is typically set strictly for wood, plastics, and composites. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDRO for Blade Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Speed Pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Blade Speed Control Knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic Motor Speed Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast Iron Pulley Wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic Guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot Actuated Disc Brake \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: HP 1-3\/4 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Power: 110-120 Volt AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Breaker: 20 Amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor Input (inverter): 166 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThroat: 13-5\/8\" (346mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable - Cast Iron: 16\" x 21-1\/2\" (406.4 x 546mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable Tilt: - 7 degrees + 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiter Slot: 3\/8\" x 3\/4\" (9.525 x 19.05mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable Height: 38\" (965mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Speed - High Range: 160MAX – 4400 FT\/MIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Speed - Low Range: 60MAX – 1600 FT\/MIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlywheels: Cast Iron\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 115\" (114-3\/4\" Min - 116\" Max)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Blade Width: 3\/4\" (19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum blade width: 1\/8\" (3 mm)*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuides: Laguna Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 70-1\/2\" (1,790mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Dimensions (L x W): 29-3\/4\" x 28\" (755 x 712mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Footprint: 22-11\/16\" x 17-9\/16\" (576 x 446mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 258lbs (117 kg)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage size (L x W x H): 73-1\/8\" x 26-1\/2\" x 24-5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eUnique Components\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRO\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \"digital readout\" provides a quick and easy reference for blade speeds.
