ALUMINIUM DOUBLE HEAD MITRE SAW

Aluminium Double-Head Mitre Saw – Precision and Efficiency for Modern Profile Cutting

Introduction: Why Double-Head Mitre Saws Are Indispensable

The machining of aluminium profiles is a central task in window construction, door manufacturing, façade engineering and industrial lightweight construction. A large share of the precision and dimensional accuracy of finished components depends directly on the quality of the cut.

This is where the aluminium double-head mitre saw comes into play. It is specifically designed to cut profiles from both sides simultaneously – with maximum precision and at any angle. In doing so, it replaces several single saws and significantly increases efficiency.

What Is an Aluminium Double-Head Mitre Saw?

A double-head mitre saw consists of two synchronously operating sawing units mounted on a rigid guide. Both heads can be controlled independently and set to the required angle.

Typical Features:

• Two saw heads for simultaneous cutting of profiles

• CNC control for precise angle and length settings

• Mitre cuts from 45° to 135° (depending on the model)

• Automatic positioning system for high repeat accuracy

• Powerful motors for aluminium profiles up to 200 mm in height

• Cooling and chip extraction for clean cuts

Advantages of a Double-Head Mitre Saw

1. Precision and Repeatability
CNC control enables exact angle settings and reproducible results.

2. Time and Cost Savings
Two cuts in a single operation → faster, more efficient, less rework.

3. Flexibility
Suitable for different profile types: window frames, door profiles, façade elements.

4. Material Conservation
Optimised cutting plans reduce offcuts and waste.

5. Automation
Many models offer automatic feeding, material clamping and cut-optimisation software.

Typical Applications

• Window construction: cutting of frame and sash profiles

• Door construction: machining of aluminium door profiles

• Façade construction: precise length and angle cuts for load-bearing structures

• Conservatories and glass façades: accurately fitting profiles for glass frames

• Industrial lightweight structures: cutting of aluminium beams and frames
