The size of the general saw is also related to the ability to handle the wood.

The log diameter is 0-500mm

In this case, it is recommended that you choose a log sliding table saw. Because this saw is a foldable all-in-one machine. That is, it does not need special installation and occupies a small area.

The diameter of the wood is 500mm-1500mm

You can opt for a vertical bandsaw. This saw has two parts: the saw and the track. Its saw blade is made of good alloy material so it is more durable and easy to replace. Also, it features orbital motion and a jam-packed approach. Usually, CNC + air pressure motor can free your hands and is very practical.

The log diameter is greater than 1000mm

It is recommended that you choose a fully automatic band saw. Because it can automatically jam, cut boards and take boards. So it is a wood cutting machine that is completely hands-free. And the efficiency of processing wood is also very high.
