Ryetec Saw Bench

[Dave Martin]

Hi evereyone ... just joined but been reading the forum for awhile ... great site...Bought a Woodline 16ton splitter last week and thinking about buying a Ryetec saw bench to compliment this .. mainly processing tree surgery waste .. anyone with any experience of this saw?

[Chris Sheppard]

yep, they're just up the road from me - I found it hard work and cumbersome with the guarding getting in the way. Haven't seen many people using them commercially either which says a lot.

 

Welcome to the forum BTW

Any alternatives without going to 3 phase or PTO

Just had quick glance on that site and cant see any stand alone electric saw bench.

The Hawk is a cracking little machine and a few little mods can make it even quicker (we short stroked the ram so it was twise as qick per cycle and just meant the last log each day needed another log to push it throough - a good chunk priceier than a sawbench and they dont react well to wriggly timber.

 

Theres a few others who do single phase or petrol saws for similar or less money than the ryetec one - google is your friend!

no the one i was referring to was the petrol. it does come with a splitter...and although you hve bought a splitter anyway, it will be a lot quicker using a little processor like this for the smaller stuff and just whacking your big lups through the 16tonner

Thanks everyone... learning quick

Thanks Chris .. electric is`nt essential it could be petrol .. I`m just trying to keep the PTO free for the splitter

Something to bear in mind with a 240 volt sawbench is the current draw on startup - usually you would need a minimum of 16A socket but even then sometimes the fusebox in modern buildings can be a bit sensitive - we usually recommend hard wiring it in or using a cooker type socket.
