The cutting station (1) for profiled elements, particularly for window and door frames, comprises one basic structure (2), one line of movement (3, 4) of one profiled element (P) associated with the basic structure (2) and adapted to move the profiled element (P) along a direction of movement (D) in order to displace it with respect to the basic structure (2), and one cutting assembly (5) associated with the basic structure (2), arranged along the direction of movement (D) and adapted to cut the profiled element (P) according to at least one angle of width comprised between 10° and 170° with respect to the longitudinal direction to obtain at least two portions of profiled element (P1, P2), wherein the station (1) comprises one laser marking assembly (22) associated with said basic structure (2) and adapted to emit one laser beam (R) towards the profiled element (P) in order to engrave one identification mark on the profiled element itself.
Two-bladed table saw with selective stationary blade
A table saw having a stationary blade and a parallel moveable blade for straightening uneven dimensional lumber of the type used in cabinetry and other relatively fine woodworking. The table saw has a workpiece support frame with a lateral blade opening allowing the moveable blade to be shifted laterally and adjust the spacing between the blades. Powered feed rollers located above the table are used to clamp and feed a workpiece through the table while preventing kickback. A sacrificial fence including a blade guard recess is associated with the stationary blade, and includes a shutoff switch automatically activated to disable the stationary blade for solo use of the moveable blade.
