HR115 Horizontal Resaw

Sawmills & Primary Processing

The HR115 horizontal resaw processes cants up to 380 mm wide into standard sized timber with cutting heights up to 280 mm. It features variable belt speeds up to 20 metres per minute and electrically adjusted head height for tapered cuts.

The HR115 horizontal resaw is a primary processing machine designed to convert cants and rough-sawn timber into dimensionally accurate, standard-sized boards with minimal waste. Operating as a horizontal bandsaw system, it performs perpendicular cuts across the width of incoming material, making it essential for mills transitioning raw cants into graded lumber for downstream manufacturing.

The machine accommodates cants up to 380 mm wide with maximum cutting heights of 280 mm, supported by variable belt speeds reaching 20 metres per minute for optimized feed rates across different wood species and densities. Head height is adjusted electrically for precise cutting geometry, while the head tilt adjustment range of 0โ€“8 degrees enables angled cuts for specialized applications. This combination of electrical precision controls and mechanical flexibility reduces operator fatigue and setup time while maintaining repeatability across production runs.

The HR115 suits medium-sized sawmills and integrated woodworking operations processing 50โ€“500 cubic metres monthly, where capital investment must balance against throughput demands. It is ideal for mills handling temperate hardwoods and softwoods in the 50โ€“280 mm thickness range, particularly those requiring consistent dimensional output for furniture blanks, cabinet stock, or construction lumber rather than high-speed industrial volume production.

Compared to entry-level horizontal resaws, the HR115's electric head adjustment and variable speed control provide faster changeover and greater versatility across material types, positioning it above fixed-speed models while remaining more accessible than fully automated systems with integrated scanning or hydraulic setworks.

Applications

cabinet component milling

medium workshop

Cabinet shops and custom millwork operations use the HR115 as a secondary breakdown tool to convert rough-sawn or partially surfaced lumber into door stiles, rails, and panel components within the 25โ€“280 mm thickness band. Electric head height adjustment ensures consistent cutlines across multiple passes, reducing hand planing and sanding labour. The machine typically processes 1โ€“3 cubic metres per week for workshops producing 50โ€“150 cabinet units monthly.

hardwood flooring strip preparation

medium workshop

Specialty flooring manufacturers and reclaimed-wood workshops use the HR115 to resaw thick hardwood planks (80โ€“150 mm) into 3โ€“4 thinner flooring strips per plank, maximizing yield from high-value material. The 8-degree tilt capability accommodates slight warping in reclaimed timber, while variable belt speed prevents tearout on figured or reverse-grain hardwoods. This process recovers 40โ€“60% additional usable strip length compared to through-and-through sawing.

cant to lumber conversion

industrial workshop

Sawmills use the HR115 to process freshly quartered cants (up to 380 mm width) from bandmill or headrig operations into dimensionally graded lumber. The 20 m/min belt speed and 280 mm cutting height enable efficient conversion of mixed-thickness cants into 25โ€“75 mm boards, with electric head adjustment reducing changeover time between different thickness targets. Output typically ranges from 5โ€“15 cubic metres per shift depending on cant uniformity and wood species.

furniture blank production

medium workshop

Furniture manufacturers and blank suppliers employ the HR115 to resaw rough lumber into precision blanks for chair frames, table aprons, and panel stock. The 0โ€“8 degree head tilt enables slight angle cuts for grain-matched components, while variable speed control accommodates hardwoods (oak, cherry, walnut) requiring slower feed rates and softwoods (pine, spruce) at faster speeds. Typical output is 2โ€“5 cubic metres daily for mid-size workshops serving 10โ€“20 furniture builders.
