What to Know About Vertical Band Saw Machines for Logs

Vertical band sawmills are industrial machines specifically built to cut large wood logs vertically into slabs, boards, or square timbers. They differ from traditional horizontal band sawmills by having:

A vertical blade that cuts downward while the log (or carriage) moves horizontally or is fed into the blade.

High material yield due to a thin kerf, meaning less wood wasted as sawdust.

Ability to perform straight and vertical curve cuts useful for artistic or custom woodworking applications.

Options for automatic feeding, CNC controls, and hydraulic log clamping for higher efficiency and precision.
