Abstract:
Vertical panel saw having a horizontally and vertically displaceable saw unit, having a substantially vertically arranged and vertically movable support grid which receives a workpiece and which comprises a multiplicity of horizontally arranged support bars which are spaced from one another in parallel, and exhaust channels, which are arranged perpendicularly thereto and which open towards the workpiece, and having an apparatus for receiving the saw dust which is produced on the support grid side during horizontal cutting, such that the support bars are in the form of substantially closed channels, each having an elongate opening which extends substantially over the entire length of the support bar and into which an edge of a saw blade of the saw unit can enter in a substantially contact-free manner during horizontal cutting, and in that the support bar channels are connected to a saw dust receiving device, the support bar channel at the same time forming a portion of the apparatus for receiving the saw dust which is produced on the support grid side during horizontal cutting and, with one end, flowing into an exhaust channel, which also forms a portion of the saw dust receiving device, and the exhaust channels having a downwardly directed guide element at the entry points of the support bar channels.
