METEOR 500 20" Aluminum Upcut Saw

Industrial Aluminum Profile Cutting for Window, Door & Storefront Fabrication

The METEOR 500 is a heavy-duty industrial upcut saw designed for accurate cutting of aluminum, PVC and other profiles used in window, door, commercial storefront and general profile fabrication.

Equipped with a 500 mm / 20-inch saw blade and hydro-pneumatic blade-feed system, the Meteor 500 provides controlled, repeatable cutting for fabrication shops that require greater cutting capacity than smaller conventional profile saws.

What Is the Meteor 500 Upcut Saw?

The Meteor 500 is an industrial profile cutting saw designed for manufacturers and fabricators requiring accurate, repeatable cutting of aluminum and PVC extrusions.

Unlike a conventional chop saw, the blade rises from beneath the profile during the cutting cycle while pneumatic clamps secure the material in position.

The hydro-pneumatic feed system provides controlled blade movement through the profile, helping produce consistent cuts across repetitive production work.

Who Is the Meteor 500 Designed For?

The Meteor 500 is particularly suited to:

• Aluminum window manufacturers
• Aluminum door manufacturers
• Commercial storefront fabricators
• Curtain wall and glazing fabricators
• Aluminum extrusion fabricators
• PVC profile manufacturers
• General aluminum fabrication operations

For manufacturers moving beyond manual cutting equipment, the Meteor 500 provides a professional industrial cutting platform that can also form part of a larger automated production system.

Accurate Miter & Profile Cutting

The Meteor 500 incorporates a rotating cutting table that provides flexibility for straight and angled profile cutting.

Pneumatic horizontal and vertical clamps securely hold the extrusion during the cutting cycle, while the integrated cooling system helps maintain cutting quality and blade performance.

The result is a versatile cutting solution for manufacturers processing a wide range of aluminum profile sizes and geometries.

Automate the Meteor 500

Add Digital Measuring & Positioning

The Meteor 500 can become more than a standalone saw.

Sheffield Machinery can provide compatible TigerStop digital measuring and positioning solutions to reduce repetitive manual measuring and improve production workflow.

For growing manufacturers, this provides a practical pathway from standalone profile cutting toward a more automated cutting operation.
