The Iron Eagle cant turners are strong enough to easily turn large cants and fast enough to turn small ones. Because they turn the cant off-line, there is no delay in feeding cants into the saw. This allows for continuous butt feeding assuring optimum throughput. The replaceable cushioned turning area minimizes bruising and reduces the shock and wear on the chain and chain bed. Minimal damage means maximum wood quality and equipment lifespan. Chain overlap eliminates deck transition jams caused by smaller cants and more consistent even-ending helps keep the system butt-fed.
