All models incorporate the same saw carriage which is supported on ground steel bars on both sides eliminating the tendency of the blade to incline due to the weight of the motors.
The blade and carriage are therefore perfectly balanced with a low centre of gravity. This gives a smooth movement and an improved quality of cut.
Unlike competitors machines the main and scriber blades are driven directly through a gear box transferring motor power to the blades without the need for belts. This results in higher torque without stress on the shaft and bearings.
Due to the accuracy of the guidance system and the rack and pinion drive Sheer are able to guarantee an accuracy of 0.1mm over the entire length of the cut, not per metre as on other saws.
For improved cross cutting performance the saw blade cuts towards the fence rather than away from it, eliminating the tendency of smaller rips to move away from the fence during the cutting cycle.

The side aligner is controlled automatically and positioned in accordance to the programme being executed.
The machine is PC controlled and has a Windows® XP interface. The on screen graphics are clear and simple to understand with straightforward navigation and programming.
Programmes feature real time simulation allowing the operator to clearly see at what point of a cutting pattern the machine is at any given time.
The controller can be linked to standard optimisation software and label printers to enhance the productivity and flexibility of the machine.
