Wood saws are machines used to cut solid wood, wood-based materials or sheet materials along straight or curved lines. The design depends on the material, the type of cut and the quantity of workpieces.
Common types include panel saws (standard in joinery workshops for panel cutting), panel cutting lines for industrial panel cutting, band saws for solid wood and curved cuts, under-table rip saws, pendulum cross-cut saws for longitudinal cuts, and veneer saws for high-quality veneers.
Leading manufacturers include Altendorf, Format-4 (Felder Group), SCM, Holzma, Holz-Her, HOMAG, Martin, Hammer, Robland and Mafell for mobile saws.
Wood saws are used in joinery and carpentry workshops, in the furniture and interior design sectors, in sawmills, in industrial panel production, in window manufacturing, in staircase construction companies, and in model and exhibition stand construction.
