The blade runs vertically through a table, so you steer the workpiece by hand and cut curves, internal shapes, and profiles rather than just parting stock to length. The V-26E is Dake's largest, built for production shops working big pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwenty-six inches of throat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the number that defines it — that's how far from the blade to the column, and it sets the largest plate you can swing through a cut. Combined with 13 inches of work height, it handles plate, weldments, and castings that most vertical saws can't accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronic power feed table is what separates the E from the standard V-26. A torque motor drives the table through rack and pinion, feeding material at a controlled rate instead of relying on hand pressure. Consistent feed means consistent finish, and it takes the fatigue out of long production cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeed spans an enormous range: 50 to 415 FPM in low, 550 to 5,000 FPM in high. The slow end is for hard alloys and heavy sections; the top end handles aluminum and non-ferrous at rates a slower saw can't touch. A digital tachometer plus a blade speed and pitch selector guide takes the guesswork out of matching the blade to the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd it has a \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in blade welder with grinder and shear\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Straight cuts, curves, and \u003cstrong\u003einternal cutouts\u003c\/strong\u003e all happen on one self-contained machine, in metal, wood, or plastic. The SWV-1209 is Sharp's entry into that category and it arrives with the features that make contour work practical rather than theoretical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeed is infinitely variable through an inverter drive — 118 to 1,312 feet per minute, shown on a digital display and adjusted with a knob. That range is unusually wide. The slow end handles tool steel and stainless where heat destroys a blade; the fast end cuts aluminum, brass, and plastics at rates a fixed-speed saw can't approach. One machine covers materials that would normally need two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe blade welder is the feature that unlocks internal cuts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Drill a hole in your workpiece, shear the blade, thread it through, weld it back together, grind the slag off the joint, and cut the shape from inside — all at the machine. Sharp uses a gold-plated welding port rather than the usual copper, which resists the oxidation that degrades weld quality over time. Shear, welder, and grinder are all built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything else supports accuracy. One-piece construction reduces vibration. Tungsten carbide tipped blade guides and backup bearing hold the blade square and last. A cast iron table gives a rigid work surface and tilts 10 degrees front and rear, 15 degrees left and right.
