Types of Automatic Bandsaw Machines for Logs

An automatic bandsaw cutting machine for logs is specifically designed for high-volume, efficient log processing—primarily converting round logs into boards, slabs, or cants. These machines are essential in sawmills, timber yards, and wood processing plants.

Types of Automatic Bandsaw Machines for Logs

1. Horizontal Bandsaw Mill (Headrig Type)

Designed to cut logs into planks or slabs.

The head unit moves horizontally along the log.

Often includes a log carriage or hydraulic log handling system.

2. Vertical Bandsaw (Twin or Multi-head)

Common in larger sawmills.

Logs are fed through vertically aligned blades (twin or quad).

Ideal for breakdown of large diameter logs into cants.

3. Portable/Stationary Bandsaw Mills with Automation

Semi-automatic or fully automatic versions exist.

Programmable blade height, auto-feed log carriage.

Suitable for mid-size operations or mobile lumber production.
