Position the stock against the selected stop, secure it with the upper presser and initiate the guarded cut through the ergonomic two-hand control.
Salvamac Legend 550
Semi-automatic cross-cutting
Salvamac Legend lineLegend 550
A heavy-duty semi-automatic upstroke crosscut saw for medium-large solid-wood sections, combining a 550 mm blade, 7.5 kW drive and guarded pneumatic workholding.
Executive overview
The Legend platform for medium-large sections.
Legend 550 expands the semi-automatic Legend format around a 550 mm blade and 7.5 kW motor. Its published cutting section reaches 220 × 150 mm or 330 × 50 mm, making it the direct choice for thicker solid-wood work that remains within a compact upstroke crosscut station.
Semi-automatic upstroke saw
550 mm blade
Two-hand safety start
Electro-pneumatic presser
Thick painted steel, reinforced construction and flanged anchoring feet create a stable cutting station for demanding medium-large sections.
The under-table blade, fixed protection, emergency stop, automatic pressure device and two-hand start keep the operator separated from the cutting stroke.
LEGEND 550 / MACHINE UNIT
Machine architecture
More thickness capacity. Same direct workflow.
The Legend 550 is built around a 550 mm under-table carbide blade driven at 2800 rpm by a 7.5 kW motor. The electro-pneumatic upper presser secures the workpiece, while the blade rise speed can be adjusted through a pneumatic regulator to suit the section being processed.

Core features
Heavy-section capability without full automation complexity.
Legend 550 adds thickness capacity and motor authority while preserving the direct operating sequence that defines Salvamac’s semi-automatic Legend family.
Guarded two-hand cycle
The operator initiates the cutting stroke from the ergonomic two-hand station while the upper pressure device holds the material and the blade remains enclosed below the table outside the cycle.
Reinforced steel structure
Thick painted steel, reinforced construction and flanged anchoring feet provide the stability required for repetitive cutting of medium-large solid-wood sections.
Pneumatic cutting control
The blade movement can be adjusted through a pneumatic regulator, while the presser runs on protected bearing guides with automatic lubrication.
Commercial advantages
150 mm thickness class
330 mm width at 50 mm
Controlled daily workflow
Configurable length handling
A practical step beyond manual heavy cross-cutting.
The 550 mm blade platform reaches the published 220 × 150 mm section for thicker solid-wood parts and structural components.
The alternate published section provides useful width for boards, rails and frame components while retaining the compact Legend architecture.
Pneumatic workholding, guarded blade movement and two-hand initiation replace the loose sequence of conventional manual cut-off stations.
Roller or flat tables, mechanical or pneumatic stops and optional SalvaStop positioning let the cutting cell match the repetition level of the work.
Best-fit applications
Built for repeatable medium-large section cutting.
Legend 550 is strongest where the stock fits its 220 × 150 mm or 330 × 50 mm cutting section and the operation needs a guarded semi-automatic station rather than full defect optimization.
Window and door components
Cross-cut thicker solid-wood blanks, rails and frame members before profiling, drilling, tenoning or assembly.
Heavy joinery and millwork
Prepare substantial architectural parts and custom components where secure workholding and consistent square cuts matter.
Furniture frames and legs
Cut larger rails, legs and structural furniture members before downstream moulding, CNC or mortise-and-tenon operations.
Pallet and packaging components
Batch-cut compatible blocks, boards and heavy packaging components with configurable stops and support tables.
Carpentry production
Replace repetitive manual chop-saw work when material sections and throughput justify a dedicated guarded industrial station.
Secondary sawmill processing
Prepare dried or dimensioned solid wood for downstream manufacturing where automatic optimization is not required.
