Swordfish Fretsaw

The new Swordfish fretsaw from RJH has been designed specifically to meet stringent performance and safety requirements for schools and colleges. The design features fully enclosed reciprocal action and dust extraction points above and below the cutting table. The machine is based around heavy-duty steel fabrications to ensure low vibration, low noise and accurate cutting. A wide variety of blades are available and 400 – 1500 rpm variable speed with digital readout is provided as standard. Together, these features mean that a Swordfish is capable of cutting most of the plastics, timber and non-ferrous alloys to be found in a typical educational setting. A calibrated lever allows the table to be tilted from 45 to 135 degrees for angled cuts and a strong Perspex guard keeps fingers well away from the blade. Unlike many of its counterparts, the Swordfish can cut through metals as well as wood. Recent tests have shown that it can comfortably cut through 2.5 mm thick steel, 4mm thick aluminium and 6mm thick brass. Needless to say, Swordfish meets all UK and European statutory requirements for safe use in an educational setting.
