A lumber bandsaw mill is a type of sawmill that uses a continuous band of metal, called a bandsaw blade, to cut logs into lumber. This type of sawmill is widely used for its efficiency, precision, and ability to handle larger logs compared to other types of mills. Here’s how it generally works:
Components of a Bandsaw Sawmill:
Bandsaw Blade: A continuous, toothed blade, typically made of steel, which rotates on two wheels to slice through logs.
Log Bed: The platform or frame where logs are placed to be cut. The log bed may have rollers or hydraulic systems to move the logs into position.
Log Turner: A mechanism that rotates the log to ensure it's positioned correctly for cutting.
Head Block: The part of the sawmill that holds the bandsaw blade and supports the cutting process.
Carriage: The moving part that holds the log and feeds it through the bandsaw for cutting.
Debarker: Sometimes used to remove bark from logs before cutting.
Motor/Power Source: Typically powered by either an electric motor or a combustion engine.
