HewSaw is once again revolutionizing the primary break-
down sector of the sawmill industry with the introduction
of their latest technology - dx sawing. Aimed at maximizing
speed, recovery, efficiency and throughput, dx sawing will
be a game changer for many sawmills.
With HewSaw’s dx sawing, the saws are cutting through the
cant in two stages instead of one, allowing for a substantially
reduced depth of cut with each saw. For sawmills using this
technology, this can result in higher feed speeds with smaller
diameter saws and thinner kerfs.
• more production volume in a shift
• higher recovery or yield from each log
• the possibility to run for longer periods
before saw and knife changes
• improved surface quality and exceptional
saw deviation
HewSaw is the only primary breakdown producer that can
offer this technology and the concept and technology are
patent pending worldwide.
With HewSaw dx sawing, the saws are cutting through the
cant in two stages, resulting in a reduced depth of cut.
