REGULARS - PRODUCTS SAWING THROUGH WITH EASE Wood-Mizer’s HR500 multi-head resaw is a modular machine that allows you to buy a frame onto which one or two heads can be fitted. When you want to expand or increase volume, you can purchase an additional frame with either one or two heads. The units are pre-wired to allow for expansion up to six heads and gives the ability to increase output modularly without having to buy new equipment every time. The HR500 has a maximum material processing capacity of 300mm (wide) x 400mm (high). It comes standard with a blade lubrication kit, which together with the hydraulic blade tensioning are centrally located to increase productivity and ease of access. The HR500 can have Setworks fitted to it, which involves a computer controlling the up / down movement of the heads to ensure consistent sizing and increased output. It works well in medium-sized operations and allows for consistently high output with its ability to resaw a cant into several precisely resawn material in one pass.
