Achilli ABS 3500 CE
Braxton-Bragg is the exclusive U.S. distributor for Achilli srl and its entire saw line, including the newest and largest saw, the Achilli ABS 3500 CE.
The ABS 3500 CE is a larger cousin of the popular Achilli MBS 3000, and like the MBS, the ABS also features a mobile bridge with gantry movement, motorized for travel on 3 axes. The head tilts manually from 90 to 45 degrees.
The ABS also features a larger table size, which allows for a maximum effective cut of 12 feet (x-axis) by 6 feet, 10 inches (y-axis). The ABS can use blades from 12 inches up to 20 inches in diameter (z-axis = 8 inches vertical travel).
The ABS fixed worktable measures 15 feet, 4 inches by 7 feet, 4 inches, and features a bed of replaceable marine plywood incorporating 54 hydraulically-operated Omni RollersT for easy slab positioning. A 15 mw laser guide comes mounted on the blade guard. With the ABS, there are no support walls to build. The ABS can be installed -- ready to run -- in about an hour.
