Specifications

High Quality Dependable Machines at an Affordable Price

Over 85 years of rip saw manufacturing experience has been put to use developing the SL series of full-sized straight line rip saws. The SL-65 features a 20 HP arbor motor, vertical arbor adjustment, a maximum stock capacity of 4.25” and a 3 HP variable speed drive for maximum speeds with any stock.

Diehl’s proven chain/race, spindle/arbor and pressure roll system make up the foundation for this saw that produces the industry’s most accurate glue line cut, guaranteed. The Diehl SL-65 is the rip saw that you can depend on for demanding production operations.

Front

The front view illustrates access into the electrically interlocked saw pit area, the dual anti-kickback finger system, pivoting pressure beam side guard and the standard rail mounted stock guide.

Back

The machine’s back side is shown with the arbor drive housing removed to depict the automatic arbor brake and the “Poly-Vee” arbor drive belt. Also shown are the adjustment handwheel for positioning of the saw blade for varying thicknesses of material; and the 5 HP feed chain drive assembly.

Optional Add-On

“Wise Guide” Automatic Stock Guide System

The system allows the operator to easily program a cutting list of multiple widths with the touch screen. It then calculates the best possible yield from each board, automatically positions the guide before each cut and tallies the cut piece against the cutting list to eliminate over production.

Optional Add-on

No-Hassle Anti Kickback Control

Automatic raising and lowering of the lower kickback fingers is available as an option on all Diehl rip saws, and is especially recommended for operations where shorter stock is being processed. The feature provides two alternative methods to sense stock presence and lower the fingers below the worktable for easier and faster feeding.

To momentarily drop the lower kickback fingers for lateral positioning and feeding, stock may either be passed over a table sensor or brought into direct contact with the fingers.

Then, as the stock is being fed into the machine, feed roll sensors determine that the piece is securely held and allow the fingers not being held down by the stock to return above the table.

This entire lowering and raising of fingers not held down by the stock takes place before the material makes contact with the blade, insuring that a safe environment is maintained by the dual anti-kickback finger system.

Any fingers held down by the stock as it enters will automatically return to their up position as the trailing edge passes through the fingers.

Optional Add-on

Diehl Machines Return Conveyor

Adding a Diehl Machines Return Conveyor to a straight-line rip saw is a strategic move that can bring multiple operational benefits, from increasing productivity and improving safety to optimizing workflow and reducing costs. The investment in a return conveyor can pay off quickly by enhancing the efficiency and profitability of woodworking operations.
