Equipment for sawing logs into quarters - has vertically movable bandsaw and log handling trolley longitudinally, transversely and rotationally movable

摘要

The equipment is to saw logs into quarters or pieces for plank production. It has a band saw and a runner handling the log. The band saw is on slides (8) moving perpendicular to the trolley for the log. The slides are curved to a radius equal to that of the largest log to be handled. The trolley has two separately moving blocks (10, 14), transversely and longitudinally. Each has a point, one turning freely and the other can be moved + 90 deg. to - 90 deg. or + 45 deg. to - 45 deg., manually. The parts can be moved vertically on the blocks, separately or together.
