A sawmill 1 has an operator end 6, a pair of end frames 2, a track 3 elevated by and extending from at least one end frame to the other, a carriage moveable 4 to carry a saw 5 along at least part of the track, flip elements able to move the saw from a horizontal cutting orientation to a vertical cutting orientation, and a relocatable stopper 13 associated with the track. The carriage 4 can be driven away from the operator end 16 with the saw 5 in the horizontal cutting orientation to contact the stopper 13 when the carriage, this resulting in the flip elements automatically moving the saw 4 into the vertical cutting orientation.

Method and calculating unit for curve sawing of a block in a cutting direction with at least a first circular saw blade. The method comprises determining a radius of the curve sawing, by measuring the curvature of the block in the direction of cutting; calculating a vertical inclination angle of the first circular saw blade in a vertical plane relative to the cutting direction in the block, based on the determined radius of the curve sawing; inclining the first circular saw blade with the calculated vertical inclination angle; and sawing the block in the cutting direction with the inclined first circular saw blade along the determined radius of the curve sawing.

A sawmill includes a four-stroke internal combustion engine having an output shaft for driving a sawblade. The output shaft has a longitudinal axis. The engine is mounted on the sawmill for rotation between a first operative position with the longitudinal axis of the output shaft extending at a first angle, and a second operative position with the longitudinal axis of the output shaft extending at a second angle transversely to the first angle. The engine has fuel injection to facilitate operation in the first and second operative positions and a lubrication system incorporating a wet sump. An oil pick up for the lubrication system is configured to pick up oil from the wet sump at both the first and second operative positions.

A combined reflex and laser sighting device is provided. In one aspect, the reflex sight and one or more laser elements are coaligned, such that both the reflex sight and the laser sight can be sighted in or boresighted to a weapon together in a single operation. In another aspect, one or more laser elements are mounted within a laser bench and aligned with a reflex sight attached to the laser bench. In yet another aspect, a plurality of laser elements are provided within the laser bench and are coaligned with each other and the reflex sight. In another aspect, a mounting block with yielding vertical and horizontal webs is provided to allow windage and elevation adjustments to be made to the reflex sight and laser elements together. In still another aspect, an elevation macro-adjustment mechanism is provided to provide a simple adjustment that that realign the sight to a weapon to accommodate different shooting scenarios, such as different velocity rounds, different target distances, and elevational differences of the shooter's vantage point.
