The PMI-24 Upcut Saw gives fabricators additional room for aluminum extrusion work while maintaining a straightforward semi-automatic cutting process. Its 24-inch blade handles profiles up to 7.87 inches high and 16.5 inches wide, making it a practical step up when smaller saws begin to limit the material mix. A 10 HP saw motor, controlled upcut stroke, and adjustable workholding support production across aluminum profiles and other nonferrous sections.
PMI-24 Upcut Saw Features:
With 16.5 inches of available width, the PMI-24 accommodates broad profiles that can be difficult to position on smaller cutting platforms. This wide aluminum extrusion cutoff saw gives fabricators additional working capacity for window and door sections, structural profiles, and other nonferrous components while keeping the cutting path dedicated to square 90° ends.
The PMI-24 is a 24 inch straight upcut saw built for applications where cutting capacity matters more than angular positioning. A 10 HP motor drives the blade at 2,000 RPM, while air-over-oil feed regulates blade advancement through the workpiece. Keeping the machine focused on straight cutoff provides a simple production platform for shops processing a changing mix of aluminum sections.
Processing larger extrusions means workholding has to accommodate differences in wall thickness, shape, and rigidity. As a 16.5 inch profile cutting saw, the PMI-24 uses vertical and horizontal clamping to secure the material throughout the upcut stroke. Adjustable clamping pressure provides additional control for thin-wall or finished profiles that require secure positioning without excessive force.

The Pat Mooney PMI-24 Upcut Saw is a semi-automatic straight-cut upcut 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.
The fixed 90-degree machine uses a 10-hp motor, 24-inch blade, 2,000 rpm blade speed, air-over-oil feed, and adjustable vertical and horizontal clamping. Published capacity is 7.87 inches high by 16.5 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:
The 7.87 × 16.5-inch capacity covers wider profiles than the PMI-18 platform.
The drive supplies cutting power for the 24-inch blade and larger cross-sections.
The operator can match blade advance to section geometry and material condition.
The blade rises into supported material while the clamps hold the profile at the cutting zone.
No. It is a fixed 90-degree straight-cut machine; the PMI-20 24 is the related double-miter configuration.
Published maximum capacity is 7.87 inches high by 16.5 inches wide with a 24-inch blade.
The standard semi-automatic machine relies on operator positioning or a separate stop or pusher system; it does not include built-in CNC material indexing.
It fits profiles that exceed the PMI-18’s 4.33 × 11.81-inch envelope or require the reach of a 24-inch blade.
Clamp pressure, blade tooth geometry, blade speed, feed rate, profile orientation, support, and lubrication should be set to limit distortion and burr.
