01 / The monorail difference

Open the side.
Open up your workflow.

The single-beam design keeps the working side clear. Instead of threading finished timber through a frame, you can move it sideways from the log to a nearby stack or suitable handling equipment.

Direct access to heavy timber

Position a suitable loader or forklift alongside the work area to support large beams and flitches.

Less walking around the mill

An open working side gives you a more direct route between the cutting area and your timber stack.

Space around large logs

Set up around the timber and plan your loading, cutting and removal paths together.

Log capacity and handling requirements depend on the model, frame configuration and site setup.

02 / Cutting flexibility

Swing the blade.
Not the log.

A swing blade pivots between horizontal and vertical cutting positions. That lets you produce edged timber from a stationary log and choose a cutting sequence to suit the wood and the finished product.

Horizontal-first or vertical-first

Choose which face to cut first, rather than being locked into one sequence.

Sectional cuts and double cuts

Take smaller bites in difficult timber or join opposing horizontal cuts for extra width.

Quarter sawing, flat sawing and taper work

Adjust the cutting pattern to the grain, log shape and boards you need.

Production patterns and slab work

Plan repeated cuts for dimensional timber, or use a compatible slabbing attachment for wider live-edge slabs.

03 / Work with the grain

Quarter saw or flat saw.
Choose the timber you want.

Changing between horizontal and vertical cuts gives you control over how boards are taken from different parts of the log. You can use quarter-sawing and flat-sawing patterns without repeatedly rotating the log.

The colour-coded illustration shows how the board layout changes with the cutting pattern. Choose the arrangement that suits your grain requirements, target dimensions and the timber available.

04 / Hardwood and stressed logs

Take smaller bites.
Stay in control of the cut.

Sectional cutting divides a wide cut into smaller passes. In dense hardwood, that gives you a way to reduce the amount of timber engaged by the blade instead of forcing the full width at once.

A single swing blade also lets you change the order of horizontal and vertical cuts when working with internal log stress. You can adapt the cutting pattern as the timber responds.

05 / Wide boards and beams

Double cut.
Go wider with the same blade.

Double cutting joins a horizontal cut from one side of the log with a horizontal cut from the opposite side. The two passes meet to produce timber wider than the blade's normal single-side cutting capacity.

There is no need to lift and reverse the carriage. Set up and operate the mill using the double-cutting procedure for your model.

06 / One-operator workflow

Make the whole workday
more productive.

Production is not only about blade speed. It is also about time spent sizing, walking, collecting boards and preparing the next cut. Turbosawmill brings open access and flexible cutting patterns together to simplify that cycle.

Single-end sizing where fitted

M10 and M12 sizing controls are at the operator end. The M7 has double-end sizing as standard, with a single-end upgrade available.

Powered feed and automation

The M12 uses hydrostatic feed. The M10 can be upgraded from manual operation with an optional power-feed system.

Organised timber handling

Plan stacking and collection around the open side so handling does not become the bottleneck.

Automation supports the operator; it does not mean unattended cutting. Actual output depends on the timber, dimensions, setup and handling equipment.

07 / Manual control

Move the carriage.
Not a heavy surrounding frame.

The manual carriage runs directly along the monorail beam. The layout is designed to keep the moving assembly compact and give the operator straightforward control of the cut.

The carriage-to-beam connection also supports alignment during vertical cutting. Correct roller adjustment, a sharp blade and an appropriate feed rate remain important for accurate timber.

Start manual. Add capability as you need it. The M10 offers a path to optional powered feed, while the chainsaw-powered M7 keeps the entry-level setup simple.

08 / Recover useful timber

Re-edge and resaw
oversized boards.

Boards with wane, uneven edges or movement after cutting may still contain useful timber. With enough material left for another cut, a suitable resawing setup can bring them closer to the dimensions you need.

The illustration shows edging and thicknessing arrangements using a stable support surface. Plan adequate allowance in the original board size rather than expecting an undersized board to be recovered.
