Circular EG800 vs fierăstrău multilamă MR200 - Care este soluția optimă pentru afacerea ta?

Have you gotten to the point where you're thinking about adding a hemming circular or multi-blade saw next to your bandsaw? Wood-Mizer offers you two top-notch options: the EG800 single-head circular and the MR200 twin-shaft multiblade saw. But which is the right choice for you? Let's put them face to face and discover the strengths of each!

Wood-Mizer MR200 - Compact, versatile, productive

The MR200 multi-blade saw has been designed to efficiently cut prisms up to 200 mm thick and 540 mm wide, and can offer a claimed productivity of 10 mc/h. Its secret lies in its two independent shafts per height, which can accommodate up to 24 circular blades in total. This design allows both shafts to be equally loaded when cutting thick prisms, but also allows the use of a single shaft for thin material. The mobile control panel, automatic feed up to 15 m/min, built-in shredder and sawdust suction connections make the MR200 a complete machine that is easy to integrate into your production space.

Wood-Mizer EG800 - Wood-Mizer EG800 - Precision industrial-level hemming

On the other hand, the EG800 Circular edger excels in the precise edging of planks and prisms up to 110 mm thick. With a single spindle equipped with 4 375-400 mm circular blades and sturdy retaining rollers, the EG800 delivers a top quality finish to the workpiece. Motorization up to 55 kW ensures a smooth and steady cut, while easy width adjustment via numbered spacers allows quick adaptation to job requirements. The Setworks control for automatic positioning of a moving blade is an added plus for precision and repeatability.

Key similarities and differences

Before making a decision, it's important to consider a few key points. Both machines stand out for their adaptability to most Wood-Mizer ribbon saws, allowing a gradual upgrade of your production line. The flexibility offered by adjustable cutting widths is also a common strength. However, there are also notable differences. The MR200 is uniquely capable of trimming thick prisms on two adjustable spindles, while the EG800 focuses on precision hemming with 4 blades on a single spindle. The circular blades used by the two models do not require frequent changes, unlike ribbon blades that need to be replaced every few hours.
