As an industrial chain saw, a Verticut saw provides high precision cuts. It is powered by three-phase electrical power and hydraulics. This saw is designed to operate in various environments, including lumber mills, lumber yards, truss plants, crating and pallet manufacturing centers, logistics facilities, and other businesses that need the highest precision cutting for their operations. At L-M Equipment Co., we offer the Verticut saw and other sawing machines to meet the needs of various industries.

A Rugged Saw for Rugged Environments

The Verticut 2000 saw is made to produce consistently and continuously in harsh working environments. Manufactured with durable components, this saw offers a long service life as the authentic precision end trim (PET) saw in the lumber cutting marketplace. Since the Verticut is made in the USA, parts are ready available, including the saw’s bar and chain which are in stock at the manufacturing facility and ready for same-day shipping upon request.

The design and production of the Verticut 2000 is influenced by more than a century of combined knowledge. For more than 25 years, the Verticut high precision cross cut unit saws have been a mainstay in the lumber industry.

Verticut Saw Operation

The Verticut saw includes a saw carriage platform upon which the operator stands. The saw travels along a track to find the proper cut position on a stationary lumber piece that sits on lumber support beams. The Verticut 2000-M package cut-off saw with optional even ending system and infeed/outfeed features an exceptional valve, hydraulically-powered operation, enabling only one operator to perform a quality, accurate cut cycle in under 60 seconds. The PET processing method employed by this saw is the fastest in the industry.

Additional Verticut Saw Features

With a more rigid construction, our shorter sawbar travels vertically through a lumber package, enabling consistent cutting tolerances of +/- 0.040 inches.

We have designed the thin kerf of this precision cross cut chain saw with a unique, customized geometry that provides at least the same or better surface finish than a standard trim saw, and also more efficient lumber recovery.

Standard machines can handle lumber packages of 16 ft. or 20 ft. The Verticut features an on-board hydraulic power with a standard 2 HP motor (optional 7.5 HP motor) that drives a pressure compensated vane pump. This saw machine includes a hydraulic cylinder and controls for powered saw bar actuation across the cut.

Once the lumber package is positioned on the support frame against the alignment stands, a manual “V” wheel geared drive is used to position the Verticut saw precisely in preparation for the upcoming hydraulically actuated cut cycle.

There are multiple options available to customize and enhance this system to meet your specific requirements.

The Verticut saw is a popular option in the lumber cutting industry due to the excellent features and benefits it affords, including fully automatic control, laser light saw line guide, strapping station, and waste management control. A Verticut 2000 Cross Cut Unit Saw is designed for a long service life provided certain aspects of the saw are maintained and cared for as needed. At L-M Equipment Co. Inc., we offer Verticut saw options to help you efficiently and accurately perform lumber cutting tasks.

Some features of the Verticut saw that require attention at one time or another to ensure it provides a long service life include:

Saw Bar and Chain

As main features to focus upon with your Verticut saw, the saw bar and chain are points of friction that sustain wear during standard operation. Proper lubrication and maintenance of the bar and chain will decrease this wear.

Idle Wheel and Drive Sprocket

As moving components located at each end of the saw bar, the idle wheel and drive sprocket are addition points of wear. By rotating and replacing these components when necessary, you can reduce the wear sustained by the chain chassis.

Carriage Wheels and Bearings

From time to time, the carriage wheels and bearings may need serviced or replaced. However, they should function fine for several years without requiring attention.

Power and Temperature Components

Regularly monitor the temperature gauge on the hydraulic system and the amp meter on the saw motor to ensure there is no overload or damage of the saw power components.

Hoses, Fittings, and More

Other key maintenance tasks that can help ensure the longevity of your Verticut saw include checking for leaks on hydraulic components or fittings, checking hoses for wear or cracks, replacing wear components, greasing bearings, and ensuring the lube reservoir remains full.

In addition to manufacturing our products for longevity, we also stand by them with our customer support. Our team can provide you with any addition detailed information or guidance you need, including training materials and technical assistance by phone.
