The famous Wood-Mizer LT40 saw - now with an optional LAT cutting head

Wood-Mizer introduces a new wide saw head for the well-known LT40 saw model. This optional head increases cutting capacity and is useful for woodworkers who require additional cutting width.

The saw's wide head increases the maximum width of the saw from 72 cm on standard models to 84 cm on wide head models. A wider head allows for cutting larger diameter logs - up to 100 cm.

The LT40WIDE model is equipped with a 483 mm diameter belted flywheel and uses a 433 сm long cloth. To ensure superior cloth stability, the new LT40WIDE is equipped with an improved cloth guide arm system.

Cutting capacity of the LT40WIDE saw:

Maximum log diameter 100 cm
Maximum width of flow 84 cm (distance between the rolls of the cloth)
Maximum prism width of 63 cm
Log length 5 m (S bed) or 6.3 m (M bed) or 8.6 m (L bed)

The optional LAT head is now also available for other Wood-Mizer saw models, such as LT15WIDE and LT70WIDE.

"When the optional broadhead was introduced for the most popular LT40 saw model, we found that, for example, in the US almost all new LT40 saws were ordered with this option", shares Roman Frontczak, Director of Research and Development at Wood-Mizer. "The new broadhead saws offer machinists superior capacity for cutting wider boards without sacrificing any of the saw's mobility characteristics or production yield."

The design of the log clamp will also be improved to provide a higher maximum cutting capacity for prisms up to 72 cm wide.
