The PMI-18 is a compact semi-automatic choice for straight cutoff of aluminum extrusions and profiles. Its 18-inch blade runs at 3,200 RPM, while an air-over-oil feed system lets the operator tune blade advance for the section being cut. A 4.33 x 11.81-inch envelope covers common nonferrous profile work without the footprint or complexity of an automatic indexing machine.
PMI-18 Upcut Saw Features:
The PMI-18 is a semi automatic aluminum upcut saw built around controlled 90° cutting without the additional complexity of integrated CNC material indexing. The operator positions the stock and establishes the required length, while the machine handles clamping and the upcut stroke. This configuration works well for fabrication cells and job shops where part dimensions change frequently and fully automatic material positioning is not required.
A 7.5 HP motor drives the blade at 3,200 RPM, giving this 18 inch extrusion cutoff saw the cutting performance needed for aluminum profiles and other nonferrous sections. Air-over-oil feed allows blade advancement to be adjusted for the workpiece, providing greater control when moving between thin-wall extrusions and heavier sections rather than forcing every profile through the same cutting rate.
Built as a straight cut nonferrous saw, the PMI-18 keeps the cutting process focused on square 90° ends for extrusions, blanks, and profile sections. When repeat-length work increases, the saw can be paired with PMI GO2 stop or pusher systems to reduce manual measuring and add material-positioning automation without replacing the underlying cutting platform.
