*Special Order* 500mm (20") Industrial Bandsaw Opal TC500 by Toughcut

Any source of power which provides the energy required to drive a piece of machinery or equipment and includes, but is not limited to: electrical, steam, hydraulic, water, air, mechanical, radiation, and thermal forms of energy.

Input power means the full-load power input required to operate the motor.

A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack).

Lever to ensure quick release of blade tensioning when not in use to help prevent blade stretching and deforming the band saw tyres, which are likely made of rubber or urethane. A stretched blade will cause the operator to increase blade tension to compensate, increasing blade break risk.

De-tensioning your blade will extend the life of your blade.

A mitre gauge is a device used for holding workpieces at a set angle while being cut on table saws, bandsaws or sanded on stationary disc sanders. The mitre gauge slides in a slot on the worktable (known as a mitre slot) on the machine being used.

A tilting table in a machine is a mechanical component designed to adjust the angle or orientation of a work surface or workpiece relative to the machine's axis of operation. This adjustable feature enables operators to position the workpiece at different angles, facilitating various machining processes such as drilling, milling, or grinding. Tilting tables are commonly found in machining centers, allowing for greater flexibility in manufacturing operations by accommodating different machining requirements and achieving precise workpiece positioning for optimal results.

Safety switches are low-wear and low-maintenance when it comes to safe monitoring of doors or safe position monitoring.

An emergency stop switch is a safety mechanism used to shut off machinery in an emergency, when it cannot be shut down in the usual manner.

An Emergency Stop Mushroom Foot Switch is a type of safety switch used in industrial and commercial settings to quickly and easily shut off power to machinery or other equipment in an emergency situation. It typically has a large, mushroom-shaped button that can be easily activated with the foot, allowing workers to stop equipment quickly without having to reach for a switch or control panel. The switch is often red and has a distinctive shape to make it easily recognizable and to promote quick action in an emergency.

The foot operated brake mechanism is a safety feature on a machine whereby a brake is supplied with the machine. The brake is operated by applying the foot pedal. When the foot pedal is
applied, the power is removed from the motor.

In the case of a bandsaw foot operated brake the flywheel is slowed by the disc break when the power is removed from the motor when the brake is applied by foot.

A no volt release (NVR) switch is valuable safety feature for power tools and machinery. If the power is cut, the unit will default to off, so the machinery will not automatically start again when the power is restored.

Rack and pinions are a mechanical device consisting of a bar (the rack), having teeth on one side that mesh with teeth on a small gear (the pinion) and are used for lifting mechanisms (vertical movement), horizontal movement, positioning mechanisms, stoppers and to permit the synchronous rotation of several shafts in general industrial machinery.

On machine tools, rack and pinion mechanisms are used to obtain rapid movements of worktables.
