Operations

 

 

Roundtec Log Lathes allow one operator to accurately control five log finishing operations without removing the log from the machine.

With a Roundtec 9000 green or dry logs are "turned" into construction logs increasing profits and helping conserve natural resources.

Roundtec 9000 Log Lathes enable trees unsuitable for saw-milling to be utilized in main construction. Natural growth patterns are maintained which minimizes cracking and shrink as the log ages.

 Rounding

 

The two-bladed coping head removes bark, eliminates any out-of-roundness, and rounds log to rough diameter. As the carriage moves "threads" are generated along the log. Bark and dirt are lifted as knives undercut log surface. By continually cutting into fresh material tool life is extended and maintenance costs are reduced.

 Smoothing

Logs are smoothed to finished diameter with side mounted smoothing blades.
 Coping

Coping heads create concave grooves for desired shape and insulation thickness. Knives are easily changed to accommodate varying log diameters. Maintenance and replacement of processing blades and knives require no special tools or machines.
 Notching

With log still loaded in the Roundtec the smoothing head cuts notches for corner joints

 
 Drilling

An integral hydraulic drilling head allows operator to drill holes for down locking.  

Bits are available which can be changed to bore channels for plumbing and electrical wiring.
