Why Use a Horizontal Band Resaw & Its Advantages

1.Efficient yield — This method saves material by having a narrow kerf (small saw-blade waste) and slicing multiple boards from a single thick piece, which maximizes usable lumber.

2.High throughput / labor savings — With powered feed, hydraulics, conveyors and multiple blades, a horizontal band resaw can process large volumes of wood with minimal manual labor.

3.Consistent thickness and uniform boards — Because the blades and feed are controlled, the boards produced are uniform in thickness — important in furniture, flooring, paneling, and other wood-working applications.

4.Suitable for both softwoods and hardwoods — Many industrial-grade horizontal resaws support a range of wood types (pine, oak, mahogany, etc.).
