Chop saw station

RazorGage says what sets its GlideRule chop saw station apart is the method for adjusting the stop and the ability to set the stop for cutting short parts. Unlike other manually adjusted stops, the operator can adjust and lock the stop without moving from the sawing position. The chop saw station has extruded aluminum infeed and outfeed tables, and the slotted rails supported on height-adjusting threaded stanchions provide the adjustability to accommodate saws of nearly all widths, depths, and heights.
