The heavy duty log lathe is intended for milling of massive raw, dry or seasoned, barked or debarked logs of different species: pine, spruce, Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock into round dowels of Swedish cope house logs

The machine performs following operations:
• Rough & fine round dowel milling
• Swedish cope profile milling
• Lateral kerfing cut

Unique features of the LL-700 log lathing machine:

• Two cutter heads for faster log turning
  • up to 2 times faster turning than on other lathes
  • allowing to remove upto 8” (200mm) of wood fiber per pass
• Embedded microcontroller module allows:
  • capable to work in automatic & semi-automatic modes to minimize an operator involvement
  • moving carriage speed optimization depending on the milling motors load
• The machine frame
  • Heavy duty frame
  • Modular frame construction with option to prolong the frame
  • allows using of optional waste conveyor
• Box type moving carriage frame:
  • allows better safety and waste control
  • integrated 3-point log support (stay) device for better output geometry
  • extra support device to eliminate inconsistency while milling the lateral groove
• Laser guiding pointers for better log placement
