# TIGER 1100 Diamond Belt Saw
Park Industries' Tiger 1100 Diamond Belt Saw has programmable, block-to-block and cut-to-cut sawing modes. The operator is no longer required to move the saw up, down or over to the next cut or to the next block; the machine does it for you. The belt saw's AMP control maximizes sawing speed through the stone maximizing your diamond belt. Machine movements are controlled by a synchronized gantry system - proven technology that has been applied to the majority of Park's large gantry saws, proving smooth travel motions and accurate gantry positioning anywhere along the rail.
