WM OptiCross 650 Automatic Up-Cut Crosscut Saw

An automatic up-cut crosscut saw for docking solid timber to length in volume, and the machine that turns defecting from a marking-and-cutting job into a single operation. The blade rises through the table from below, so the workpiece is supported right up to the cut line and the offcut cannot kick back.

Fed from a roller table with a programmable stop, it will run a cutting list of mixed lengths automatically, advancing the stop between cuts. On a furniture or stair shop docking rail and stile stock all day, it removes almost all of the measuring.
