摘要: A sawmill for sawing a log segment in two through the core thereof and a method of sawing a log in half through the core thereof. The sawmill includes a log feed conveyor configured for feeding logs to a band saw and a log positioning rig, the band saw being disposed on a movable carriage of a fixed frame, the band saw being configured for sawing a log from a first end of the log to a distal end of the log. The log positioning rig has a reciprocating cradle having a plurality of spaced-apart cradle segments. The reciprocating cradle is pivotally attached to the fixed frame, and is configured for raising or lowering the first end of the log to align the central core of the log along the length of the log with a blade of the band saw.

摘要: A sawmill and method for sawing a log. The sawmill includes a transfer conveyor to convey a log quarter wedge segment to a log transport rig configured to orient the log quarter wedge segment so that an apex of the log quarter wedge segment is oriented in a downward direction. The log transport rig moves the log quarter wedge segment through a band saw configured to saw the log quarter wedge segment into two log eighth wedge segments. A transfer conveyor is provided to gather the two log eighth wedge segments from the log transport rig and feed the two log eighth wedge segments sequentially to a resawing rig comprising a conveying device and from two to six band saws configured to saw boards from the each of two log eighth wedge segments in succession as each of the two log eighth wedge segments are transported through the resawing rig.
