CUTTING DIMENSIONS
With the swing blade it will cut up to 160 mm x 160 mm wide timber along the length of the log; or up to 160 mm x 320 mm with a double cut.
SLABBING
The mill also has a slabbing attachment which allows slabs of timber to be crosscut along the length of the log up to 1.2m wide.
WEATHERBOARDS
This mill also has a weatherboard attachment that allows weatherboards to be cut up to ~ 150 mm high along the length of the log.
PLANING AND SANDING
The mill also has both a planing and sanding attachment that can be used on a dried slab to produce a very fine finish to any cut slabs. This would be an additional service that is done after the initial milling and drying has occurred.
