14" MEP-Wilton Tiger 350 Manual Cold Saw

Serial Number: 01354350-B | Year of Mfg: 1996 | Support: MEP / Wilton / Dake

Overview

Available for immediate service is the MEP-Wilton Tiger 350, an industrial-grade vertical column cold saw. Manufactured in 1996, this Italian-built workhorse combines a rigid cast-iron construction with a powerful 2-speed motor to deliver the perfect finish on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Unlike standard pivoting saws, the Tiger 350 features a vertical head movement on prismatic guides, providing maximum rigidity and precision during the cut. With its wide miter range and substantial cutting capacity, it is the ideal solution for production fabrication, frame building, and precision millwork.

Key Features & Capability

• Italian Engineered Rigidity: Built by MEP in Italy, the Tiger 350 uses a heavy-duty gearbox immersed in oil, ensuring quiet operation and a long service life under heavy production loads.
• Precision Mitering: The saw head swivels easily on a ball-bearing mounted rotary table, with mechanical stops at 0° and 45° for rapid setup between angle cuts.
• Vertical Head Descent: The head moves on adjustable taper gibs and prismatic guides, which eliminates the "chatter" common in swing-arm saws and allows for much higher accuracy in solid materials.
• Double Clamping Vise: Features a manual vise with an anti-burr device that clamps the material on both sides of the blade, resulting in a cleaner finish and safer operation.
• Integrated Coolant System: Includes a high-volume coolant pump and tank built into the base to ensure maximum blade life and cool workpieces.
