PTO saw-bench recommendations

[benedmonds]

 

We currently have a Kilwort saw bench we use for processing arb waste. We split into billets then saw to size.

When it works, it is fine but the guys have a habit of breaking it... Can anyone recommend a more robust machine..?

 

While searching the forum I found a film of it in action, I posted but had forgot about it, so have re-posted.. ..

How does it get broken?

[benedmonds]

Not my area of expertise.. It gets broken and takes my business partner several hours to fix.. I think it would be fine if you nursed it, but the guys tend to be a bit on the rough side and knock things out of line..

Only thing I can think of is possibly they slam the wood through the saw a bit quick and the drive belts wear and eventually snap?

 

I've got a Balfor saw bench, it seems pretty heavy and well built. I think the only thing I would change on it would be to add a conveyor. The Uniforest saws look very similar but just in a different colour.

 

Posch always seem to get good reviews but they are a lot more money.
