The PC100 joins the Wood-Mizer product line that includes an unmatched selection of products for the sawmill, woodworking and pallet manufacturing industries. Quality Appalachian Hardwood Lumber 1,200,000 B.F. Kiln Capacity Quentin Moss, KD-Lumber Sales/ GR-Lumber Sales/Purchasing quentin@gfhardwoods.com 9880 Clay County Hwy. Moss, TN 38575-6332 PHONE: 1-800-844-3944 FAX: 1-931-258-3517 www.gfhardwoods.com PC100 Upcut Saw The PC100 Upcut Saw is available in left or right-side blade options and features convenient center material loading for longer material with a uniquely designed segmented blade guard. When the two-hand no-tie down cutting cycle is activated, the upper blade guard automatically lowers and covers the front and sides of the blade during the cutting cycle. Comparable machines with a mounted blade guard only allow material loading from the left or right side which makes processing longer material more difficult and time consuming. Additional features include up to 20 cut cycles per minute, onephase or three-phase electric power, optional infeed/outfeed tables, optional gang stop and more. “Wood-Mizer is dedicated to providing the best-in-class equipment for a variety of timber and wood processing needs throughout the world,” said Russell Fite, Wood-Mizer North America Sales Director. “Sawmill, woodworking and pallet operations will all appreciate the well-designed features of the PC100 including center material loading for ease of operation, left or right-side blade options for versatility and up to 20 cut cycles per minutes for production efficiency.” Built in the USA, the PC100 Upcut Saw is now available to order in North America.
