Frame production depends on consistent angles and matching cuts more than adjustable miter flexibility. The PMI-14 A-Type Framing Saw uses two 14-inch saw heads fixed at opposing 45° angles to cut aluminum extrusions for frames and assembled components. By cutting the required angles within a dedicated dual-head platform, the machine provides a straightforward production process for manufacturers that repeatedly work with the same corner geometry.
PMI-14 A-Type Framing Saw Features:
The PMI-14 A-Type is a fixed 45 degree aluminum framing saw built around repeatable corner preparation rather than adjustable miter work. Its saw heads remain positioned at opposing 45° angles, eliminating the need to reset the cutting angle between recurring frame components. This dedicated geometry is well suited for aluminum assemblies where consistent mating angles are required from part to part.
Using two cutting heads gives the dual head frame cutting saw a production advantage when opposite 45° ends are part of the finished component. Instead of repositioning a single saw head for each required angle, the machine keeps both cutting orientations available within the same platform. This simplifies the workflow for recurring frame, enclosure, and fabricated aluminum components.
Each cutting station uses a 14-inch blade, giving the 14 inch extrusion framing saw a dedicated setup for processing aluminum profiles used in frame construction. Secure workholding keeps the extrusion positioned during the cut, while the fixed-angle arrangement maintains the geometry required for consistent corner joints across recurring production runs.

The Pat Mooney PMI-14 A-Type Framing Saw is a semi-automatic twin-head framing saw for matched 45-degree cuts in aluminum and non-ferrous profiles. Its operating format, head arrangement, and working range define where it fits within aluminum and non-ferrous production.
Two fixed 45-degree heads use 14-inch blades, individual 2-hp motors, 3,400 rpm blade speed, air-over-oil feed, and adjustable clamps. Published profile limits include 4 × 4 inches or 5.5 inches high by 3.5 inches wide. 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:
Two 45-degree cutting stations produce complementary frame ends without rotating one head.
The 14-inch blades cover common narrow framing sections.
Each head has its own 2-hp motor and cutting mechanism.
Vertical and horizontal clamps hold the profile for consistent corner geometry.
Its two heads are fixed at 45 degrees to create complementary mitered ends for frame components.
Published limits include 4 × 4 inches and 5.5 inches high by 3.5 inches wide, depending on profile orientation.
No. The two heads are fixed at 45 degrees; this model is intended for recurring frame-corner geometry.
The A-Type uses 14-inch blades and a smaller work envelope. The B-Type uses 18-inch blades for larger profiles.
A dedicated head on each side eliminates repeated angle changes for complementary 45-degree cuts and keeps the framing process consistent.
