A highly efficient, safe, and versatile wood saw milling machine is becoming an essential requirement for woodworking shops, furniture factories, and construction timber processors. Especially when dealing with logs of varying diameters and hardness, selecting a wood sawmill machine that matches production demands is crucial.
To help users quickly determine if a machine suits their production needs, this article will guide you through the log diameter ranges sawing machines can handle, selection criteria, and their operational advantages.
What log diameter can sawmills handle?
The round log push table saw typically processes logs ranging from 20 cm to 60 cm in diameter, depending on the model.
Some large industrial models, such as vertical wood saw milling machines, can even cut massive logs up to 1.5m in diameter, meeting the demands of large lumber mills or custom wood processing operations.
A wider diameter range offers greater flexibility in log types:
- Small machines suit fruit trees, small-diameter timber, and pruned wood
- Medium machines cover most construction and furniture lumber
- Large machines effortlessly handle thick hardwoods and imported logs
Selecting equipment matching your diameter range boosts productivity and prevents overloading.
How to select right model based on production needs?
When choosing a wood saw milling machine, consider not only maximum log diameter but also these key factors:
Log diameter and length
Select machine specifications based on typical log dimensions to avoid overkill or undersizing.
Log hardness
- Standard models suffice for softwoods like pine or fir.
- Hardwoods such as teak, oak, or rosewood require higher horsepower and thicker blades.
Required cutting method
- Sliding table saw: stable and safe, ideal for precision cutting
- Band saw: capable of cutting large pieces with minimal waste
- Chain saw or mobile saw: suitable for outdoor operations in lumberyards
Production volume requirements
High-volume processing plants should opt for models with high automation levels, such as automatic feeding and sliding table systems, to significantly reduce labor requirements.
