sides of the log in order to create square cants ,” Grundberg said . “ This increases the possibilities both to change the settings and to reduce the log gaps from 2-2.5 m ( 78-98 in ) to 0.5 m ( 20 in ).
“ Thus , we get almost as high a flow rate as in a circular saw line , but with higher yield ,” he explained , while suggesting that top speeds of more than 150 m / minute are achievable .
The goal of halving the already
thin saw cuts of only 3 mm ( 1 / 8 in ) to 1.5 mm ( 1 / 16 in ) is a much tougher challenge .
“ I have high hopes that we reach down to 2 mm ( 3 / 32 in ) cuts in our new line , and then we can say that we have halved the kerfs compared to circular saw lines , which rarely come under 4 mm ( 5 / 32 in ). You should have challenging goals and there is more knowledge to explore ,” laughed Grundberg .
