Oversize extrusion work is where the PMI-20 36 CNC separates itself from the smaller PMI miter saws. The 36-inch blade provides a 12.6-inch-high by 20.87-inch-wide cutting envelope, backed by a 10 HP drive, hydraulic feed control, automatic material positioning, and servo head rotation through 60° on both sides of zero.
PMI-20 36 CNC Auto Miter Upcut Saw Features:
At this size, the machine handles profiles that can exceed the capacity of conventional extrusion saws. The PMI-20 36 CNC extrusion miter cutting machine accommodates workpieces up to 12.6 inches high and 20.87 inches wide. That expanded cutting envelope gives manufacturers more flexibility to process large aluminum extrusions and profiles while maintaining automated length and miter control.
The 10 HP blade drive runs at 1,200 RPM, slower than the smaller 24- and 30-inch models as blade diameter increases. Fully hydraulic feed controls the cutting stroke. Vertical and horizontal clamping, with adjustable pressure, helps hold large or thin-wall sections without relying on operator force to stabilize the profile.
Large extrusions are cumbersome to reposition simply to change an angle. Servo-powered head rotation allows the saw to move to miter positions up to 60° left or right while the automatic pusher manages cut length. Keeping those functions at the machine reduces the amount of manual measuring, stop setting, and profile handling between repeat parts.

The Pat Mooney PMI-20 36 CNC Auto Miter Upcut Saw is a fully automatic 36-inch upcut miter saw for oversized aluminum and non-ferrous profiles. Its configuration places the machine within a defined range of cutoff work rather than treating it as a general-purpose saw.
The machine pairs a 36-inch blade with a 10-hp motor and 1,200 rpm blade speed. Published maximum capacity is 12.6 inches high by 20.87 inches wide, with servo head rotation through 60 degrees left and right, automatic pushing, touchscreen control, fully hydraulic feed, and adjustable clamping. Final machine selection depends on the complete material range, section geometry, finished length, tolerance, production volume, blade requirements, clamping, material support, and part handling.
Common applications include:
The 12.6 × 20.87-inch maximum envelope is the largest among these PMI-20 CNC miter configurations.
The large blade reaches through tall and wide non-ferrous sections at a published 1,200 rpm.
Powered rotation covers 60 degrees left and right for programmed angle changes.
Fully hydraulic head feed controls blade movement through large sections.
It targets profiles that exceed the 9.8 × 18.11-inch envelope of the 30-inch model, with published capacity reaching 12.6 inches high by 20.87 inches wide.
Yes. Both models use servo-powered head rotation through 60 degrees left and right. The 36-inch machine provides a larger blade and work envelope.
A built-in servo-controlled pusher positions the profile for automatic cutting. Long, flexible, or finish-sensitive extrusions may require additional infeed and outfeed support.
Published data lists a 36-inch blade, 10-hp motor, 1,200 rpm blade speed, fully hydraulic feed, and adjustable vertical and horizontal clamping.
The 12.6 × 20.87-inch figure is not available at every angle. Profile rotation, angle, clamp position, blade clearance, support, and the swept path of the saw head determine actual fit.
