Higher-capacity frame production is where the PMI-14 B-Type separates itself from the smaller A-Type platform. Two 18-inch saw blades operate at opposing 45° angles, creating a dedicated setup for aluminum extrusions that require matching mitered ends. The larger blade configuration provides additional cutting room for substantial frame profiles while keeping both cutting angles fixed and ready for repeat production.
PMI-14 B-Type Framing Saw Features:
Rather than repositioning a single cutting head between opposite miters, the PMI-14 B-Type keeps both cutting orientations available within the machine. This dual head aluminum framing saw is built for recurring frame components where consistent opposing angles are more important than a continuously adjustable miter range. The dedicated arrangement simplifies the cutting sequence for aluminum frames, enclosures, and assembled profile systems.
The larger cutting platform gives the 18 inch aluminum framing saw additional capacity for substantial extrusion profiles. Both saw stations are configured specifically for aluminum and other nonferrous framing work, allowing manufacturers to process larger sections while retaining the fixed-angle workflow that defines the B-Type.
The twin 45 degree frame cutting saw produces the complementary angles required to bring mating frame sections together. Keeping the heads at opposing 45° positions eliminates repeated angle setup during recurring work and helps maintain consistent end geometry across batches of aluminum framing components.

The Pat Mooney PMI-14 B-Type Framing Saw is a semi-automatic twin-head framing saw for larger 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 18-inch blades, individual 2-hp motors, 3,000 rpm blade speed, air-over-oil feed, and adjustable clamping. Published profile ranges include 6 × 5.5, 7 × 4, and 10 × 2.75 inches. 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:
Eighteen-inch blades increase the profile range over the A-Type machine.
The fixed layout produces left- and right-hand frame ends at dedicated stations.
Each head uses its own motor and air-over-oil feed system.
The published capacity options reflect different height-and-width arrangements.
PMI-14 identifies the framing-saw family; the B-Type specification lists two 18-inch blades for its larger profile capacity.
The page lists 6 × 5.5, 7 × 4, and 10 × 2.75-inch height-by-width combinations. Actual fit depends on shape and orientation.
No. Both heads are fixed at 45 degrees for frame-corner production.
Choose it when the framing profile exceeds the A-Type envelope but still uses recurring complementary 45-degree ends.
Compare its oriented height and width, clamp contact, blade clearance, corner geometry, and finished length with the applicable published combination.
