FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use standard blades on an AccuGlide saw?
Yes. You may use diamond knockout blades on your AccuGlide Saw. We include the diamond knockout arbor hub with all our saws.
How do I cut against the edge of the slab?
The AccuGlide saw cuts perfectly within 1/4” of the edge, without ridging or track movement. Simply place a small piece of stone next to the slab for support. EZ-Cut Tracks extend over the edge without support. Quick-Lock Tracks include an integrated aluminum clamping rail and may be used with C-Clamps or QuickLock Suction cups for extra support.
How do I cut through the center of a slab?
Simply lock the trigger with a Velcro® strap*, hook the lightweight handle into the front eye bolt or rear eyelet, and pull the AccuGlide through the slab.
*Never lock the trigger when the saw is used without tracks.
ABOUT THE BUILD
LIGHTWEIGHT POWERHOUSE
All of our saws have a light yet sturdy design. The high-end materials we use and thorough engineering make our saws the lightest and most powerful out there. They’re portable enough to move from cut to cut with minimal risk of back strain. But they can handle production cutting, because that’s what our saws were designed for. AccuGlide Saws are well known for daily production cutting in 3cm slabs.
THE ACCUGLIDE FEEL
With an AccuGlide saw, you get a hands-on feel of the cutting operation. You can detect blade performance, and speed up or slow down as needed. This is a vital step in accomplishing the highest production. A hands-on feel means you can set up and cut faster. There are also no complicated self-propelled parts to service and replace.
There’s a reason why we call them AccuGLIDEs. With expert engineering, it takes very little effort to push the AccuGlide saw. It glides above the stone like it’s floating on air, sensitive enough for you to detect blade performance.
3.1 HP EQUIVALENT OIL BATH GEAR REDUCTION MOTOR
All AccuGlide saws have a powerful, durable tested motor for heavy production cutting. We use a proprietary coating on the electrical field and armature for longer motor life.
- A GRM’s torque equals that of a saw with a direct drive motor (DDM), yet is 70% lighter.
- A GRM’s start-up torque outperforms DDM, since it doesn’t need starter winding.
- The reduced weight of an oil bath worm gear increases production and minimizes operator fatigue.
Note: Hypoid gears, such as those found on Makita saws, contain only a small amount of grease. These work well for quick cuts in wood, but perform poorly when subjected to long hours of stone cutting.
