Oversized aluminum extrusions require a miter saw with enough working room to handle the profile without sacrificing angular flexibility. The PMI-20 36 Miter Upcut Saw pairs a 36-inch blade with servo-controlled head positioning for straight and angled cutoff work. With capacity up to 12.6 inches high and 20.87 inches wide, the machine is built for substantial nonferrous profiles that need accurate miter cutting on a larger production platform.
PMI-20 36 Miter Upcut Saw Features:
Changing angles on large profiles can add considerable setup time when the saw head must be positioned manually. The PMI-20 36 uses powered head positioning, giving this servo head aluminum miter saw controlled movement between straight and angled cuts. This allows fabricators to process changing miter requirements while keeping large aluminum extrusions on the same cutting platform.
A 10 HP motor drives the large blade at 1,200 RPM, providing the cutting platform needed for substantial aluminum and nonferrous sections. The 36 inch miter upcut saw combines this capacity with hydraulic blade feed to control advancement through the workpiece. Vertical and horizontal clamping secure the profile as the blade rises through the material.
At 90°, the PMI-20 36 accommodates sections up to 12.6 inches high and 20.87 inches wide. This makes the 20.87 inch profile saw particularly useful for broad extrusions, structural profiles, and fabricated aluminum components that exceed the working envelope of smaller miter machines. The larger cutting window allows these parts to retain miter capability without moving to a separate saw.

The Pat Mooney PMI-20 36 Miter Upcut Saw is a semi-automatic 36-inch double-miter upcut saw with powered servo head positioning. Its operating format, head arrangement, and working range define where it fits within aluminum and non-ferrous production.
A 10-hp motor drives the 36-inch blade at 1,200 rpm. Touchscreen-controlled servo rotation positions the head through 60 degrees left and right, while fully hydraulic feed and adjustable clamping support a 12.6 × 20.87-inch published capacity. 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:
Angle commands entered at the touchscreen position the head through the ±60-degree range.
The machine reaches 12.6 inches high and 20.87 inches wide at its published maximum.
The cutting stroke is controlled independently from servo head positioning.
Powered positioning reduces manual adjustment when recurring angles return to production.
The head rotation is servo positioned from the touchscreen. The blade cutting stroke uses fully hydraulic feed.
Published capacity increases from 9.8 × 18.11 inches to 12.6 × 20.87 inches, with blade diameter increasing from 30 to 36 inches.
Yes. The head rotates through 60 degrees in either direction.
No. It automates angle positioning, but the model remains semi-automatic and does not include automatic stock indexing as standard.
It fits profile families that require its added height, width, or powered angle changes and cannot be covered by the 24- or 30-inch miter platforms.
