NISHIJIMAX NHC-160 high-speed circular saw with 6.29 inch cutting capacity, 21 HP motor, and 18 inch blade for large-bar production sawing.

NHC-160 Series (6.29 inch Cutting Capacity)

A 21 HP saw motor and 18-inch blade move the NISHIJIMAX NHC-160 into heavier ferrous production cutting. The machine handles round stock to 6.29 inches (160 mm) and square material to 4.3 inches, using a servo-driven 45° slant cutting axis and hydraulic clamping to control the work. For larger solid bar, forgings, and tube, the Pat Mooney NHC-160 adds the power and machine mass needed for sustained automatic cutoff work.

 

NHC-160 Series (6.29 inch Cutting Capacity) Features: 

  • 6.29-inch (160 mm) maximum round capacity
  • 4.3-inch (110 mm) maximum square capacity
  • 21 HP (15 kW) saw motor
  • 18-inch (460/470 mm) blade diameter
  • 32–115 RPM blade-speed range
  • 45° slant-type cutting axis
  • Servo/ball-screw Z-axis feed
  • 19.68-inch (500 mm) single material index
  • Hydraulic horizontal and vertical clamping
  • 15,000-pound (6,500 kg) machine weight

Description
21 HP Cutting Power for 160 mm Round Stock

The Pat Mooney NHC-160 handles round material to 6.29 inches with a 21 HP motor and an 18-inch circular blade. That cutting package is suited to larger solid bars, forgings, tube, and similar ferrous stock where the cross section demands more spindle power and machine rigidity than a smaller cutoff saw can provide.

Servo-Fed Slant Axis Controls Blade Engagement

The saw head travels on a 45° slant axis driven by an AC servo motor and ball screw. Blade speed is adjustable from 32 to 115 RPM, allowing the cutting setup to be matched to the workpiece while the controlled feed manages how the blade enters and moves through the material.

Automatic Indexing Keeps Larger Bar Moving

A 19.68-inch single index positions stock for repeat lengths, and hydraulic horizontal and vertical clamping secures the material during the cycle. At approximately 15,000 pounds, the NHC-160 production circular saw provides a substantial base for automatic production cutting while material handling equipment can be added around the saw for longer bars and higher-volume workflows.
