This is unlike other machines on the market. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd424d209beee0f3b1cbae3/1607741539074-QYOS7VCOJWN2VTRVQH2I/20200722_152330.jpg Home - Long-Lasting & Trouble Free Operation Only top quality components are used to fabricate this equipment to ensure that it will last a long time. Tens of thousands of cables may be processed before the blades will need replacement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd424d209beee0f3b1cbae3/1607741591312-A54OXWQJV2EKZYKAMU4V/20200722_152423.jpg Home - Production Speed & Efficiency It only takes ten seconds to cut the cable with this machine, and cables can be cut safely as quickly as the operator is able to work. https://www.mccablecutter.com/shop daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://www.mccablecutter.com/quality daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd424d209beee0f3b1cbae3/1615761980696-NQFWPW6AACPLL5BOA9C5/MCCC-Photos-031421-900x1100.jpg Quality Only top quality components are used to fabricate this equipment. Care was taken to identify wear points. Self-lubricating bushings are employed at all rotating points. Hardened steel bushing are used where the “plunger” cycles (to push the cable down) to ensure that the plungers stay located at the optimum position even after 10’s of thousands of cycles. Wear components, such as the slitting saw guards and cable plungers, are fabricated from stainless steel to resist wear and tear and ensure long service of life. The circular saw included for the cross-cut of the cable is a DeWalt DWS535B, a 15 amp, worm-driven saw (retail cost: $210). The drill motors included to drive the slitting saw blades are DeWalt DWG235G models, an industrial 7.8 amp model with a 1/2” chuck (retail cost: $165). We have been using the MC Cable Cutters in our own prefab operation for years and have never replaced any circular saws or drill motors - not one! Our only competitor in this space - MC Cutter, www.mccutter.com - uses 3/8” Hitachi drill motors (retail cost: $65) and a Hitachi C7SB2 7-1/4" Circular Saw (retail cost: $139). We had owned as many as 12 of our competitor’s machines and were constantly replacing/repairing the saw and drill motors (please see “Operator Safety” section for the reason we stopped using the MC Cutter). Two (2) 30 lb. rated gas-filled cylinders support the upper carriage weight and automatically return the upper carriage to its start position after each cut. The “assist” provided by these cylinders minimize operator physical effort and help prevent fatigue. When/if the cylinders start to show signs of wear, replacements are readily available on Amazon. When we owned the MC Cutter we were replacing the activation switches frequently. With this in mind, we include a 25A Honeywell switch with our unit. We have never had one fail or require replacement. In the unlikely event that it does, it is readily available on McMaster-Carr. https://www.mccablecutter.com/safety daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd424d209beee0f3b1cbae3/1615747600643-TED0B8D5HVWOV2WSY6OE/20200722_152206.jpg Operator Safety - This machine employs spring-loaded guards that hide the slitting saw blades. Only when the operator lowers the upper carriage, and the cable is pressed into the guards, does the slitting saws engage the cable. The cable, and “plunger” make it virtually impossible for the operator to come into contact with the high-speed slitting saw blades. When the operation is complete, and the upper carriage returned to its vertical position, the slitting saws are automatically covered by the spring-loaded guards. Likewise, the cross-cut circular saw blade is protected from operator contact. Only when the upper carriage is lowered does the blade guard retract. There is an additional clear guard at the front of the saw to prevent any inadvertent operator contact.
