Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a saw that is like the attached pic. I need it to cut units of wood in half. Does anyone know who makes these or something similar?

Thanks,

Cool machine. I bet it's not cheap.

In plywood mills they had band saws and circular saws that would cut units of core/veneer in half, tractor feed. If I remember correctly they had about 4 1/2 foot throat depth.http://www.millmachinery.net/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=613&NewID=1073

John, the photo that you included is of a "package saw". One of the major US manufacturers is Holtec; here is a link to one for sale in Wisconsin:

Most companies that build pallets use package saws, as do many large production sawmills.
