  • Eliminate the need for a cat-track (cable carrier)
  • Move wiring out of area where debris falls
  • Easily route sawdust removal tube
  • Allow easy access to WM3000 for maintenance and cleanup

The WM3000 thin-kerf blades and advanced blade guide system enable the 30 hp motor to produce at cutting speeds approaching mills with three times the horsepower. Increased production with less horsepower means reduced energy bills - increased profits.

Hardened steel unitized monorail tracks, an energy efficient 30 hp continuous duty rated motor, a high-speed, bidirectional chain log turner, industrial roller bearings, a patented material guide system and ergonomic controls with computerized setworks assure yield and accuracy.
