The Verticut saw is a popular option in the lumber cutting industry due to the excellent features and benefits it affords, including fully automatic control, laser light saw line guide, strapping station, and waste management control. A Verticut 2000 Cross Cut Unit Saw is designed for a long service life provided certain aspects of the saw are maintained and cared for as needed. At L-M Equipment Co. Inc., we offer Verticut saw options to help you efficiently and accurately perform lumber cutting tasks.
Some features of the Verticut saw that require attention at one time or another to ensure it provides a long service life include:
Saw Bar and Chain
As main features to focus upon with your Verticut saw, the saw bar and chain are points of friction that sustain wear during standard operation. Proper lubrication and maintenance of the bar and chain will decrease this wear.
Idle Wheel and Drive Sprocket
As moving components located at each end of the saw bar, the idle wheel and drive sprocket are addition points of wear. By rotating and replacing these components when necessary, you can reduce the wear sustained by the chain chassis.
Carriage Wheels and Bearings
From time to time, the carriage wheels and bearings may need serviced or replaced. However, they should function fine for several years without requiring attention.
Power and Temperature Components
Regularly monitor the temperature gauge on the hydraulic system and the amp meter on the saw motor to ensure there is no overload or damage of the saw power components.
Hoses, Fittings, and More
Other key maintenance tasks that can help ensure the longevity of your Verticut saw include checking for leaks on hydraulic components or fittings, checking hoses for wear or cracks, replacing wear components, greasing bearings, and ensuring the lube reservoir remains full.
In addition to manufacturing our products for longevity, we also stand by them with our customer support. Our team can provide you with any addition detailed information or guidance you need, including training materials and technical assistance by phone.
