The Whirlwind Model 216 saw is designed to run at approximately 30 - 40 cycles per minute. Each cycle is cushioned by a heavy-duty shock absorber. The cycle speed can be easily adjusted using a slotted screwdriver. Lock nuts securely hold screws in place after adjustment.

The Whirlwind Model 216 is an under-cut style saw. That means the blade remains in the heavy steel base until the cut is made. The cast aluminum guard / clamp holds the material in place throughout the cutting cycle. This protects the operator from kick-back and flying debris. Cast iron is used for the table-top so we can provide a recessed area for the operator's hands. The raised lip between this recessed area and the blade acts as a barrier. The operator's hands should always remain in the recessed area, with palms up, while handling material. A front shield, air hose, double palm buttons and other safety devices are all standard equipment on the model 216.

The Whirlwind Model 216 is manufactured using the latest C.N.C. machinery. The model 216 is a further refinement of a well-proven design. Whirlwind saws are renowned for their exceptional accuracy. The model 216 certainly continues that tradition. Nothing but the finest components and raw materials are used in Whirlwind saws. Things like chrome-moly spindles and heavy steel spindle housings keep Whirlwind saws accurate for years. We also run each and every Whirlwind machine for 4 hours prior to shipment.

The five largest furniture manufacturers and the five largest cabinet companies all use Whirlwind machines. Our saws are also used by some of the largest R.V. companies, aerospace companies and boat makers.
