Throat Plates. The throat plates (“piano keys”) are the working surface of the saw base.  The condition of the plates is very important for the cut quality, blade life, and operator safety. There are two different sizes on a typical machine, large and small. There is also a third small plate that has been modified for the side aligner material presence sensor. 

Our plates our made from a single mold for each size, while the sensor kit utilizes the mold for the small plate; the OEM plates are made from four separate molds each for the large and small plates.  Using a single mold gives our plates a uniformity that the OEM plates cannot match, resulting in higher quality and more consistent parts.  In addition to higher quality, DTM Machine Service offers all three pieces at a significant cost savings:

We have reduced our prices for throat plates.  In addition, combined quantities of 50 or more large and/or small plates and sensor kits in a single order receive a further discount of 10% on throat plates.

Aluminum finger guards.  The finger guards are located between the small throat plates at the cut line. These are important safety items that minimize accidental access into the cut line and protect the fingers of your operators.  When replacing throat plates be certain to check the condition of the finger guards, and replace them as necessary at the same time.  Price reduction on our finger guards, now just $12 each.

Safety flaps - new item!  Safety flaps are an important part of operator safety, limiting accidental access to the cut line. Keep this protective barrier in good condition by replacing broken flaps.

Pressure beam pin - new item! Worn pressure beam pins will cause a loud squeak as the beams move up and down for a cut. New pins will help to eliminate this noise and can reduce wear of the bearings at each end of the torsion bars inside the pressure beams. Be sure to grease the pins at least once per month.
