  • Exhaust-free (makes it possible to work inside a building)
  • Low-maintenance
  • Long lasting
  • Lightweight
  • Low noise
  • Free of vibrations

Toe boards imageToe boards with log clamps

  • Levels each log individually.
  • Clamps the log with height-adjustable clamps.
  • Pulls the log down and pulls it hard against the bunks (very important with twisted and long logs of 16 ft. (5 m) or more, so that you can obtain true-to-measure boards. (More than 50% of all logs twist and turn during the sawing process and do not lie level without clamps).
  • Two hydraulic cylinders between the toes extend clamping width and double the clamping speed.
