Cutting both ends of an aluminum profile to finished length can become a bottleneck when each miter requires a separate setup. The PMI-T3 CNC Automatic Double Head Miter Saw brings two cutting heads and programmable positioning into one production platform, allowing opposite ends of the workpiece to be processed within the same setup. It is built for recurring extrusion and frame components where part length, end angles, and repeatability need to remain consistent throughout production.
PMI-T3 CNC Automatic Double Head Miter Saw Features:
The PMI-T3 functions as an automatic aluminum double miter saw for components that require finished angles on both ends. Using two cutting heads reduces the need to cut one end, reposition the profile, and establish the second angle in another operation. This configuration is particularly useful for recurring frame and assembly components where opposite end geometry must remain consistent.
As a CNC extrusion frame cutting saw, the T3 brings part dimensions and saw positioning into a controlled production process. Programmed operation reduces repeated manual adjustments when moving through batches of aluminum framing components, helping manufacturers maintain consistent finished lengths and miter geometry across recurring parts.
The programmable dual head profile saw provides greater flexibility when production includes multiple part lengths or miter requirements. Instead of treating each geometry change as a new manual saw setup, operators can use the CNC system to manage the required positioning. This makes the T3 well suited to manufacturers producing families of aluminum extrusion components rather than a single fixed frame size.

The Pat Mooney PMI-T3 CNC Automatic Double Head Miter Saw is a fully automatic double-head crosscut saw for long aluminum and non-ferrous profiles. Its operating format, head arrangement, and working range define where it fits within aluminum and non-ferrous production.
One fixed and one servo-positioned movable head use 20-inch blades and individual 5-hp motors at 2,800 rpm. Both heads tilt 45 degrees inward and 67.5 degrees outward. Touchscreen control, air-over-oil feed, and working-length options of 177 or 256 inches support automatic paired cuts. 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:
One head establishes the datum while the servo-positioned head sets finished length.
Both ends of a component can be cut within the same clamped setup.
Each crosscut head covers inward and outward miter positions.
Available 177- and 256-inch configurations accommodate extended profiles.
The movable head travels to the programmed position while the fixed head maintains the reference end.
Each head tilts 45 degrees inward and up to 67.5 degrees outward.
Pat Mooney lists 177-inch and 256-inch machine configurations.
The T3 uses crosscut heads with 20-inch blades; the T5 uses 24-inch upcut heads with compound rotation and tilt.
It is the official height-by-width capacity at 90 degrees. Angle, profile orientation, and clamp clearance reduce the available envelope.
