The sawmill technology of the
future is here now with HewSaw
The revolutionary four arbour dx sawing process from HewSaw offers
numerous benefits for modern sawmills, including maximizing speed and recovery.
HewSaw has once again revolutionized the primary
breakdown sector of the sawmill industry with
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.
