The WHIRLWIND name has long been synonymous with cutoff saws and for decades they have been making some of the best right here in the USA! The manufacturing has been shifted to CTD Saws in California. Their saws are used by many of the leading manufacturers in furniture, cabinet & dimension plants across the USA. WHIRLWIND saws will give you leading edge technology, extraordinary accuracy and reliability all at a very competitive price.
The Whirlwind line of semi-automatic cut-off saws by CTD Machines are designed to operate at speeds of up to 90 cuts per minute. Each cycle is cushioned by a heavy-duty shock absorber for smooth operation at high speeds. Cycle speed can be adjusted with a screwdriver. Many of our customers have said they replaced two radial arm saws with one Whirlwind for cut-off use!
