Constructed from super-rigid lightweight titanium, this frame offers exceptional stiffness — surpassing even popular aluminum models — which translates directly into extended sawblade life and reduced cutting fatigue during long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standout ASD feature allows the sawblade clamps to swivel 45° left or right relative to the frame and handle, enabling precise changes in cutting direction without removing or remounting the blade. Three detent presets at 0° (center), 45° right, and 45° left make repeatable adjustments fast and reliable. For custom angles, the clamps can be positioned anywhere within the full 90° range of adjustability. A cam lever activates the clamp rotation, making tensioning — especially with thicker sawblades — significantly easier than with traditional fixed-clamp designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sawblade clamp knobs are reversible from side to side, supporting both left- and right-handed operation. Available in three throat depths to suit a wide range of workpiece sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium construction delivers superior rigidity over aluminum frames for extended sawblade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight material reduces hand and wrist fatigue during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Sawblade Direction (ASD) allows blade clamps to swivel 45° left or right relative to the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam lever activation makes tensioning thicker sawblades easier and more controlled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree detent presets at 0°, 45° right, and 45° left for fast, repeatable blade direction changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 90° range of adjustability for custom blade angles between detent positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sawblade clamp knobs accommodate left- or right-handed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in three throat depths: 3\", 5\", and 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTitanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTension Mechanism\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCam tension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eASD Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90° total (45° left to 45° right)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eASD Detent Positions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0° (center), 45° right, 45° left\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandedness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft- and right-handed (reversible clamp knobs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThroat Depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e149.649\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\" (75mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e149.650\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" (125mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e149.651\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\" (200mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium is stronger than aluminum but slightly heavier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product is subject to California Proposition 65 warnings for lead and nickel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Knew Concepts","offers":[{"title":"3\" (75mm)","offer_id":43692827508950,"sku":"149.649","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5\" (125mm)","offer_id":43692827541718,"sku":"149.650","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8\" (200mm)","offer_id":43692827574486,"sku":"149.651","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/knew-concepts-precision-titanium-birdcage-saw-frames-with-cam-tension-and-asd-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719955512","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/knew-concepts-titanium-birdcage-saw-frame-cam-tension-asd-3-5-8-inch","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
