RazorGage | Cyclone 600 Upcut Saw
Industrial Upcut Saw For Wood, Aluminum, And More
The Cyclone 600 Upcut Saw from RazorGage is one of the safest, most rugged and precise industrial saws on the market. This saw provides razor sharp cuts 20 inches wide with virtually no tearout. It can cut wood and other materials, and be used as an aluminum upcut saw. RazorGage industrial saws and saw systems are built with superior hardware designed to last. Our products consistently outperform the competition, and we pride ourselves on the quality of our materials and components.
The RazorGage upcut saw's blade mounts directly to a 7.5 HP Baldor spindle motor that glides on machine tool grade, recirculating ball linear bearings for ultimate rigidity and simplicity with no belts that can wear out. Intelligent Frequency Drive controls the saw blade RPM and requires no air logic to operate.
Using the Cyclone 600 Industrial Upcut Saw
On most upcut saws, it’s easy to cycle the saw without powering up the motor. This can lead to operators running the unpowered blade into a piece of stock accidentally which can have devastating effects on the industrial saw's blade and spindle. We designed the RazorGage upcut saw so that it won’t cycle without motor power.
On the work surface, our patented Safe T Crowders improve saw safety. The RazorGage upcut saw operator can crowd stock against the fence while safely cycling the saw via thumb-operated 2-hand anti-tie down buttons. Other upcut saws offer traditional 2-hand anti-tie down buttons mounted on the front of the saw. Since the operator’s hands are not available to crowd the material to the fence, pneumatic clamps must be added to both the left and right sides of the industrial saw blade. Both clamps must fire simultaneously creating a dangerous situation when one or the other of the clamps lands half on the part.
We keep saw safety top of mind at RazorGage. On our Cyclone 600 saw, the operator still manually crowds the material to the fence but via the Safe T Crowder handles allowing him to crowd on the left, right, or both sides as he sees fit. The operator can do so while keeping his hands away from the industrial saw blade.
There is a 16” fence and table surface on both sides of the blade, allowing you to place your material on either side, depending on your needs. This upcut saw can be equipped with a low fence or high fence.
The Top Clamp travels on linear bearings and is driven by its own cylinder so you can adjust clamping speed and pressure independently. Quickly adjust the top clamp height with flip stops.
At RazorGage, we want to support your operation and your business success with solutions configured to your needs. The Cyclone 600 upcut saw for wood, aluminum, and more, is available with custom modifications to fit your unique business needs and goals.

Taking Your RazorGage Upcut Saw to the Next Level
We’ve combined the power and precision of the automated version of our Cyclone 600 industrial upcut saw with the accuracy and automation of our RazorGage RG3 Automatic Measuring System to create two powerful optimizing saw systems: the APS Automatic Pusher optimizing saw system and the RazorOptimal defecting and optimizing saw system.
The APS Automatic Pusher System is designed to increase your operation’s accuracy and efficiency while decreasing the risk for mistakes. With its intuitive software and customizable hotkeys, the APS optimizes production flow and minimizes the time required to complete each job.
The RazorOptimal optimizing saw enables users to download and sort cutlists, scan for crayon-marked defects on the material, print labels, and cut to length, and settings can be customized to suit the needs of your operation.
