What A Multi Rip Saw Is
A multi rip saw cuts timber into multiple pieces in a single pass. It is used for resawing square timber, breaking down round logs, and processing panels and boards into smaller dimensions.
The machine uses multiple blades mounted on a single arbor. Each blade cuts a separate rip, allowing high throughput and consistent width across all pieces.
Round Wood And Logs
For round wood and logs, the 300E hydraulic multi rip saw cutter handles logs up to 600 mm in diameter. It uses hydraulic feed and automatic blade adjustment for consistent cuts.
The 200E single or double chain multi dip log cutter is designed for smaller logs, with chain-driven feeding and dip-cutting action to maintain blade alignment during the cut.
The 280E hydraulic automatic cutter is used for continuous processing of round wood, with automatic loading and blade positioning.
Square Timber Resawing
Square timber is resawn on the 1528, 3060D and 3060H multichip machines. These use multiple chip blades to cut through dense or hard wood with minimal tear-out.
The 1528 handles stock up to 280 mm in thickness and is suitable for medium-sized resawing operations.
The 3060D and 3060H are larger models for high-volume resawing, with adjustable blade spacing and hydraulic feed systems.
Large Stock And Panel Work
For larger stock, the big square wood and big round wood multichip cutters are used. These machines handle thick or wide timber with multiple blades and high feed pressure.
Panel and board work is processed on the 300 round wood table saw, which cuts round logs into flat panels with a fixed blade and table feed.
The 200 semi circle side panel saw is used for cutting curved or irregular side panels from round logs.
The 250 horizontal belt band saw handles horizontal breakdown of large boards, with a belt-driven blade and adjustable table for precise width control.
Saw Blade Production
All saw blades used in the CRATOOLS timber range are produced in the company's own saw blade factory. This ensures consistent blade geometry, tooth profile, and material hardness.
Blades are made from high-speed steel or carbide-tipped steel, depending on the application and wood type.
Questions On This Topic
What machine is best for small round logs?
The 200E single or double chain multi dip log cutter is designed for small logs with chain-driven feeding and dip-cutting action.
Can the 300E handle logs larger than 600 mm?
No. The 300E is rated for logs up to 600 mm in diameter. Larger logs require the big round wood multichip cutter.
What is the difference between the 3060D and 3060H?
Both are multichip machines for square timber, but the 3060H has a higher feed rate and larger blade arbor capacity.
Are the saw blades included with the machines?
Saw blades are produced in-house and available as separate parts. They are not included with the machines unless specified.
Do you supply replacement blades?
Yes. Replacement blades for all models are available from the company's own saw blade factory.
