4 Description of the Machine
(see also fig. 1a and 1b)
The PROXXON scroll saw is a very sturdy, ruggedly designed but nev-
ertheless mechanically very sophisticated and carefully produced
device. The heavy die-cast pedestal and the rigid die-cast machine
body form a solid base for the complex machine mechanics and a per-
fect platform for the precision mounting of the saw arms which are
made of ultra-light but strong magnesium in order to reduce the moved
weights. They are driven by a quiet, powerful induction motor which
can be adapted to the required material properties with two speeds
(900/1400 rpm) for optimum smooth running and low vibration.
Your DS 460 has many areas of application and is particularly suitable
for mould construction, fine mechanics, model building and toy manu-
facture. It is therefore just the right tool for ambitious model builders,
designers, architects (model building) or carpenters.
The large tiltable saw table for mitre cuts of -5 to 50° is made of die-
cast aluminium for maximum accuracy and stability and precision
ground for optimum gliding characteristics. Its special design also sim-
plifies changing of the saw blade.
The saw table can be unlocked and pushed back to improve the acces-
sibility of the lower saw blade attachment. This enables quick and easy
changing of the saw blades.
Saw blades with both pin ends and flat ends can be used. The use of
sliding blocks allows precise guiding of the saw blade without interfer-
ence from bending forces.
You will find the appropriate saw blades for the respective job in the
Proxxon range of accessories. We recommend you to use Proxxon
saw blades exclusively!
The DS 460 saws soft wood up to a thickness of 50 mm, plastic up to
30 mm and non-ferrous metals up to 10 mm.
The saw can also be used to easily cut plexiglass, GRP, foam, rubber,
leather and cork.
And there is an automatically driven bellows with an adjustable air noz-
zle to ensure that dust does not obstruct the view of the cutting line
during work.
A vacuum cleaner can be connected additionally. This guarantees
clean working.
