FAQs

Attached is the complete list of recommended spare parts for the above stated radial arm saws...

For pricing information, please contact our spare parts office (service@maggi-technology.com)."

spare parts

Maggi radial saws are designed and constructed primarily for cutting solid wood and panels such as MDF, chipboard, plywood, laminated wood, and similar materials. However, by applying the right type of blade and using the necessary precautions, it is possible to obtain good quality cuts even on thin aluminum laminate sheets, such as those found in "sandwich" panels.

use and maintenance, usage tips

Maggi radial saw motors are available in three-phase (3PH) version, both at 50 Hz and 60 Hz, dual voltage (V. 400 / V.230). Different voltages are available upon request. Single-phase motors are available only for the JUNIOR 640 and BIG 800 models and only in 220 V. The motors of JUNIOR / BIG / BEST models have 4 HP / 3 Kw power, while the BEST S models have 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW power.

motors, voltages, equipment, technical details

Single-phase motors are available only for the JUNIOR 640 and BIG 800 models, in the 220 Volt version, at 50 or 60 Hz. The power is 3 HP (instead of 4 HP as in the 3 PH version).

motors, voltages, equipment

No, the radial saw head can be tilted for 45° cuts only on the left side, as shown in the figure.

adjustment, use and maintenance

The radial saw models JUNIOR/BIG/BEST can cut with the head tilted only at 45° (see attached image), WHILE THE BEST "S" RADIAL SAWS can cut with the head tilted at all intermediate angles between 0° and 45° with the ability to lock at all inclinations. Blade group inclinations beyond 45° are not possible.

adjustment, use and maintenance, comparisons, technical details

All radial saws can cut with the arm positioned at 45° both to the right and left, as shown in the image. Cutting is only possible at 45° and not at other angles because there are no intermediate locking devices. It is not possible to make cuts with an angle wider than 45°.

positioning, adjustment

The current CE safety regulations for workplace safety do not permit trimming operations (as seen in the image), as they are considered dangerous for the operator. Maggi radial saws, in compliance with these regulations, have specific mechanical blocks that prevent this type of processing.

comparisons, equipment, safety

No, the Maggi radial saw motors are not multi-frequency; it is necessary to specify the desired type when ordering.

motors, voltages, equipment

Yes, all Maggi radial saw motors, both the 50 Hz and 60 Hz models, have dual voltage, meaning they can be connected to either 230 or 400 Volts as needed. Unless otherwise specified by the customer, motors for both 50 and 60 Hz are always connected to 400 Volts.

motors, voltages

Maggi radial saws can perform the cutting operations shown in the attached image.

comparisons, technical details

Milling operations, or having the blade group parallel to the work surface (90°), are not permitted by European Community safety regulations, as they are considered dangerous for the operator. The maximum inclination that the blade can reach is 45° to the left, as can be seen in the attached image.

adjustment, use and maintenance, safety, technical details

The maximum blade thickness that can be mounted inside the carter of Maggi radial saws is 4.5 mm.

recommended tools, technical details

The blade characteristics that Maggi offers as an accessory for its radial saws are as follows: The blades we provide are specifically for wood and come in two types: 400 mm diameter blade for JUNIOR / BIG / BEST radial saws and 565 mm diameter blade for BEST "S" radial saws.

The technical specifications for each blade type can be found in the attached images.

For cutting composite materials (for example, those with thin aluminum layers), specific blades must be used, which we do NOT provide, since our radial saws are mainly designed for solid wood and panel cutting.

accessories, options, recommended tools

As can be seen in the photo, the radial saw is packaged disassembled; the only groups already mounted are the arm + column group and the blade cover carter.

With a small optional supplement, it is possible to purchase the semi-assembled and boxed radial saw (see attached image), that is, with arm-column-work bench correctly mounted and perfectly squared by our professional assemblers.

assembling

Radial saws are equipped with an electrical cable but not with a plug, as plug types vary greatly from country to country and it would be impossible to provide a universally applicable solution. The plug to be applied must be an industrial type, red for 400 Volts (blue if connected to 220 Volts) with 16A, 4 poles. Once the plug is connected to the power cable, you must verify that the voltage of the electrical line to which you intend to connect the machine corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the motor's power supply. The values of voltage and electrical supply frequency are indicated on the nameplate located on the motor. Once the machine is connected, verify the correct rotation of the blade by referring to the specific plate on the blade guard.

voltages, equipment

The equipment of CE radial saws includes the following devices that are NOT present in STANDARD radial saws. The BEST "S" models are available only in the CE version:

  • Return spring for assisted repositioning of the blade group to the rear stop
  • Self-braking motor
  • Electrical system with motor protector and emergency button
  • Front lift handle (only for BEST 960, BEST 1250, BEST 1250 S models)
  • Wide MDF work surface with dimensions compliant with CE regulations
  • Chip collector with dust extraction preparation
comparisons, equipment

The return spring (also called "balancer") included in the standard equipment of CE radial saws, is a mechanical device that helps to lighten the weight of the head group during its return movement towards the rear stop, thus facilitating the operator's work; this movement, in compliance with CE safety regulations, is COMPLETELY MANUAL and does not involve any type of automation.

accessories, options, equipment, safety

The noise emission data for our radial saws are as follows:

LEQ (dBA) < 88 Sound pressure (Pa) MAX at the workstation < 92

The noise levels indicated do not necessarily represent safe operating levels. Although there is a relationship between emission levels and exposure levels, this cannot be reliably used to determine whether additional precautions are necessary. Factors that determine the exposure level to which the workforce is subject include exposure duration, workplace characteristics, other sources of dust and noise, etc., such as the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Permitted exposure levels can also vary from country to country. In any case, this information will allow the machine user to make a better assessment of danger and risk.

safety, certifications

The chip limiter (see image) limits the amount of wood that each tooth can remove. This increases the cutting edge's life over time and, more importantly, reduces the danger of blade kickback during work, making it suitable for cutting wood with falling knots and low-quality wood chips. Circular blades without a chip limiter do not guarantee user safety and can cause damage to both the workpiece and the operator.

accessories, options, safety, recommended tools

No, it is not possible to adjust the blade rotation speed on our radial saws. The rotation speed corresponds to the motor's revolutions, which is 2,800 RPM (revolutions per minute).

adjustment, motors, technical details

No radial saw in the Maggi range can mount a milling tool, because the maximum tool thickness that can be mounted inside the guard is 4.5 mm, while milling tools have greater thicknesses. Additionally, the milling tool is usually used for operations that require cutting with the blade positioned horizontally in relation to the work surface, an operation that on Maggi radial saws is not permitted for safety reasons and in compliance with CE regulations.

assembling, equipment, safety, recommended tools

In the attached file, you will find complete cutting diagrams for all radial saws in the Maggi JUNIOR, BIG, BEST, BEST "S" lines.

comparisons, technical details

In the attached file, you will find all the layouts with overall dimensions for each Maggi radial saw.

comparisons, dimensions, technical details

No, we do not offer blades different from those already described in the accessories section. Below are the details of the available blades (also see attached image):

  • Blade diam. 400 x (3) 3.8x30 mm z 60
  • Blade diam. 565 x (3.7) 4.5x30 mm z 96 with limiter
accessories, options, recommended tools

We recommend a dust extractor with a volumetric flow rate of at least 1100 (CUBIC METRES / HOUR).

use and maintenance, usage tips

Yes, it is possible, but obviously the cutting capacity will be modified, compared to the standard, in proportion to the smaller diameter of the blade used.

In particular, by mounting 400 mm diameter blades, the maximum cutting height will be 110 mm (instead of 200 mm); the maximum cutting width with the blade at 90°, on the other hand, will be as follows:

640 mm (instead of 570 mm) - BEST 700 S 

900 mm (instead of 850 mm) - BEST 960 S 

1,190 mm (instead of 1,140 mm) - BEST 1250 S

accessories, options, recommended tools

Yes, in the 400 mm blade guard, I can mount a smaller 300 mm blade and still be able to perform cutting operations; the capacity in both height and width will be reduced by 25% compared to the dimensions indicated in the table (see the attachment).

accessories, options, usage tips, recommended tools

Attached is an exploded view with instructions for the correct installation of the "front lift" device.

assembling, adjustment, accessories, options, equipment

Yes, all the Maggi radial saws in the CE version (for the European Community markets) have a SELF-BRAKING motor.

After the self-braking motor is turned off, it takes 10 seconds for the blade to come to a complete stop.

motors, equipment, safety, technical details

No, it is not possible to install pneumatic clamping devices; the workpiece hold-down is entirely manual.

adjustment, equipment, consultancy

No, the Maggi CE radial drills are NOT equipped with a "dead man" switch. The CE safety regulations for this type of machinery do not require the application of this device, as it would not contribute to increasing the operator's safety compared to the other safety devices already present on the machine, such as:

  • Sound-insulated blade guard, fully covering the blade
  • Anti-return device
  • Dimensioned work bench
  • Motor overload protection and emergency stop button
  • Self-braking motor
  • Dimensioned rear guard
equipment, safety, certifications

The attached image shows the necessary workspace...

use and maintenance, dimensions, usage tips, consultancy

Yes, Maggi radial saws, CE version, are equipped with a blade guard cover and a rear protection guard, which have connection holes (suction ports) to which a suction device/system can be connected. There are a total of 3 connection points: one on the blade guard cover with a diameter of 60 mm and two on the rear guard, both with a diameter of 100 mm, see also attached image for greater clarity."

equipment, safety

Yes, it is possible to apply a hydraulic brake on request, but only on BEST 700 S and BEST 960 S models, in order to make the blade feed smoother during cutting operations and thus avoid "jolts" during processing in case the blade encounters "knots" in the wood.

accessories, options

The cutting length, when working with the blade tilted at 45°, might be slightly reduced compared to cutting with the blade at 90° (maximum possible variation - 300 mm). For a more detailed assessment, we invite you to contact our commercial consulting office

technical details, consultancy

The motors of the Maggi radial saws work at 2,800 rpm; this feature is suitable for both cutting wood and thin aluminum profiles; in this second case, however, the operator must be careful to fit blade tools suitable for cutting metal, as recommended by his trusted supplier.

comparisons, technical details

Radial saws are essential machines in every woodworking and artisan carpentry workshop for cutting and slicing at 45° and diagonally Left 45°~ Right 45°. Wooden beams, frames, baseboards, parquet, stairs, pallets, wooden packaging, chipboard, MDF and similar materials


Strong Points

1.    Compactness: its dimensions are ideal for small workshops

2.    Ease of use

3.    Speed: always ready to work, quick setup

4.    Flexibility

5.    Valid complement to a squaring machine


The advantage of working with a radial saw is that the operator can observe the blade while performing cutting operations and has full control over the processing, which favors the optimal result of the finished product.


HOW TO CHOOSE A RADIAL SAW 

To choose the most suitable model, one must consider both the height of the piece to be cut and its minimum and maximum width. To choose the motor power, one must also evaluate the hardness and thickness of the material. 


Below is the reference table for cutting capacity / motor power.
