When aluminum profiles move into a larger size class, miter capability has to scale with them. The PMI-20 30 Miter Upcut Saw combines a 30-inch blade with hydraulic cutting feed and an expanded working envelope for substantial extrusions and nonferrous sections. Its adjustable miter range allows the same machine to handle square cutoffs and angled components, giving fabricators the capacity to process larger profile work without moving those parts to a separate cutting platform.
PMI-20 30 Miter Upcut Saw Features:
The PMI-20 30 provides the additional working room needed when broad aluminum extrusions still require angled ends. Built as a large profile miter upcut saw, it combines an expanded cutting envelope with adjustable saw-head positioning for both straight and miter work. This allows larger framing components, structural profiles, and other nonferrous sections to remain on one cutting platform as part geometry changes.
A 10 HP motor drives the 30-inch blade at 1,500 RPM, while fully hydraulic feed controls blade advancement through the workpiece. This 30 inch hydraulic aluminum saw configuration provides controlled blade engagement across changing profile sizes and wall thicknesses. Vertical and horizontal clamping hold the material securely as the blade moves upward through the section.
At 90°, the machine accommodates profiles up to 9.8 inches high and 18.11 inches wide, providing considerably more room for broad aluminum sections. This 18 inch wide miter saw gives fabricators the capacity to process larger extrusions while retaining the angular flexibility needed for frames, assemblies, and components with mitered end geometry.

The Pat Mooney PMI-20 30 Miter Upcut Saw is a semi-automatic large-capacity double-miter upcut saw for aluminum and non-ferrous profiles. Its operating format, head arrangement, and working range define where it fits within aluminum and non-ferrous production.
A 10-hp motor drives a 30-inch blade at 1,500 rpm. The head rotates 60 degrees left and right, with fully hydraulic cutting feed, adjustable clamping, and a published 9.8-inch-high by 18.11-inch-wide capacity. Final machine selection depends on the complete material range, profile geometry, required angles or features, finished length, tolerance, production volume, blade requirements, clamping, material support, and part handling.
Common applications include:
The larger blade provides a 9.8 × 18.11-inch published working envelope.
Head rotation through 60 degrees in both directions covers a broad family of angled parts.
Fully hydraulic feed controls blade advance through larger sections.
Adjustable vertical and horizontal clamps secure the work close to the blade.
Blade diameter rises from 24 to 30 inches, motor power from 7.5 to 10 hp, and capacity from 7.8 × 14.6 to 9.8 × 18.11 inches.
No. Its published specification lists fully hydraulic cutting feed.
The head rotates through 60 degrees left and 60 degrees right. Capacity decreases as the head moves away from 90 degrees.
No. The PMI-20 30 is semi-automatic; powered servo angle positioning is listed on the 36-inch version.
Large profiles requiring repeatable left- and right-hand miters benefit when their geometry fits the angle-dependent work envelope.
