Complex frame and extrusion components often require both ends of a part to be cut at different angles. The PMI-T5 CNC handles that work with two independently controlled saw heads capable of miter and tilt positioning for compound-angle cuts. CNC control brings head positioning and part length into the programmed cycle, giving manufacturers a production platform for aluminum profiles that require more sophisticated end geometry than a conventional double-head miter saw can provide.
PMI-T5 CNC Automatic Double Head Compound Miter Upcut Saw Features:
The PMI-T5 CNC double head aluminum saw is configured to process opposite ends of an extrusion without sending the part through separate saw operations. Independent cutting heads allow the machine to establish the required geometry at each end, making the platform useful for recurring components where finished length and end angles must be controlled together.
Head rotation and tilt give the compound angle extrusion saw the ability to approach a profile in more than one plane. This expands the range of end geometry that can be produced for aluminum extrusions used in frames, structural assemblies, and fabricated components. CNC positioning also reduces the manual setup normally associated with changing between complex angular cuts.
For recurring frame components, an automatic frame cutting machine can bring length and angular positioning into the same programmed process. The operator can prepare the job around the required dimensions and end geometry rather than manually resetting saw heads between parts. This makes the PMI-T5 particularly useful when production includes families of components with changing lengths and compound-angle requirements.

The Pat Mooney PMI-T5 CNC Automatic Double Head Compound Miter Upcut Saw is a fully automatic double-head compound-miter upcut 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 movable head use 24-inch blades, individual 7.5-hp motors, and 1,800 rpm blade speed. Servo axes position both heads for compound angles through 45 degrees inward and 67.5 degrees outward. Working-length options are 177 or 256 inches; published capacity at 90 degrees is 7 × 16.9 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:
Each head combines rotation and tilt to finish both ends of the profile.
The movable head and angular axes position from stored program values.
Both stations provide the same 7 × 16.9-inch reference envelope.
Two available bed lengths cover extended architectural components.
The movable-head position and compound-angle axes are servo controlled, while the touchscreen coordinates the fully automatic cycle.
Yes. The two heads can be positioned for the required end geometry, within their inward and outward angular limits.
Published capacity at 90 degrees is 7 inches high by 16.9 inches wide.
The T5 is the choice when parts require compound rotation and tilt or a wider 16.9-inch profile envelope rather than crosscut-head mitering alone.
Finished length, left- and right-end angles, head orientation, profile datum, angle-dependent capacity, clamp locations, and cut sequence must all match the drawing.
