Narrow cut log saw

This revolutionary design uses two blades to cut the log into billet, one blade cuts from above and the other from below. Using two blades enables us to use thinner blades, which obviously reduces the cut width and thus improves recovery. The blades are slightly offset from each other to ensure the log is cut completely.

Instead of the traditional segmental blades the Narrow Cut Log Saw uses hard tipped blades. The swarf generated is much smaller, occupies less space and is easier to compact.

The log is secured by a unique clamping system that has been developed to ensure that no movement of the log can occur during the cut cycle. The cycle time is nominally 15 seconds cut to cut.

Narrow cut means less scrap and more value.
