About this machine

The FS 175 chain slotter cuts longitudinal slots in timber beams and other large-section elements. Applications include cutting recesses for metal connectors and connecting plates, as well as machining halving joints. The support table positions the machine on the workpiece. The operator sets the slot height using the scale on the guide frame and secures the setting with the locking lever. Hard-chrome-plated guide columns guide the plunge, and a leg support helps the operator feed the chain into the timber. The choice of chain set determines the slot width. The machine comes with the support table, and the chain set is ordered separately to suit the required width. Replacement chains are available for both slot widths.
