    Default Tool gloat, Omga pneumatic dual saw

    Good day.

    Ever since I bought my Omga mitre saw I am hooked, its precise, its heavy, its built to last, I often log onto Omga sites to browse their range and fantasise about having a complete workshop full of Omga/SCM/Masterwood machinery.

    Recently I came across a second hand dual saw by Omga in prestine condition, they retail for about $20k USD without any accessories, the owner wanted less than $3k NZD.

    Was thinking if I should buy it as its a beast at about 5m long, 1m wide and 1.3m high.

    here is a video of how the pneumatic dual saw works:

    I have a small one man production shop, this would be a good addition to the workshop, at the moment I do have to swing my timber around to cut it again on the panel saw (I use my panel saw to do mitre cut, its accurate and quick compared to standard mitre saw), this saw would save the time and labour involved... the saw is foot perated, probably safer than the panel saw.

    Had a look on the Omga website again to check the price, current model is about $20k USD, the one I wanted to buy is close to 1/10 of the new price and its condition is superb, I didnt think again and just bought it.

    I now have to think of a place to put it, its huge, its the biggest machine I have.

    I better buy wifey something nice before the saw turn up... maybe a necklace she'd been wanting...

    Thumbs up

    Congratulations on your purchase.
    I can see it being ideal for any type of production runs where you need to cut multiples of the same size.
    Like any tooling set up will take the most time but once set will save time, cutting both ends at once.

    You could use it to make a picture frame and give your wife something very special - a picture of yourself so she remembers what you look like when you are busy in the workshop.

    Thanks

    Am too busy making money from woodwork. don't want to waste time turning timber around and do another cut. Besides a dual saw is less strain on the arm/shoulder/back..

    a proper set up mitre station with proper stops and roller probably can do the same job but you still got to cut it twice.

    Here is a photo of the saw being lifted, I have hired a technician from Jacks to monitor/manage the lifting process including packing and dissemble if required, I was told by the seller it was done properly and smoothly, hopefully this is a good decision and the possiblity of damages are eliminated... as any damages on the saw will be extremely costly to fix.
