A system for dismantling a pallet includes a feed system configured to convey the pallet along a direction of travel. The feed system has a measuring station and a staging area. The measuring station is configured to obtain dimensions of the pallet. A saw is configured to dismantle the pallet. A manipulator includes a robotic arm. The manipulator is configured to move the pallet from the staging area to the saw for dismantling.

A sawmill and a kit for forming the sawmill has a support assembly, a sawhead, a log bed and a carriage. The support assembly retains a motor relative to a drive bandwheel and a free bandwheel in a sawmill. The support assembly has a first platform orientated on a first plane, where the first platform securable to an axle of the drive bandwheel. The support assembly has a second platform orientated on a second plane, where the second platform securable to an axle of the free bandwheel. The support assembly also has a centre platform coupled to, and between, the first and second platforms, where the centre platform is orientated on a third plane that is vertically spaced apart from the first and second planes. The centre platform is configured to support the motor above the axles of the drive bandwheel and the free bandwheel.

An apparatus for mounting logs for processing on a sawmill having a log bed defining a log bed plane includes a first plate, a stationary jaw, and movable jaw. The first plate is configured to be fixedly mountable on a log bed of a sawmill, and configured to support a log to be cross-cut. The stationary jaw is fixedly supported on the plate. The movable jaw is supported on the plate, and is configured to move at least in part in a direction parallel to the log bed plane when the first plate is mounted on the log bed. The movable jaw and the stationary jaw are collectively configured to fixedly clamp a log on the first plate in a clamp interior such that a grain direction of the log is normal to the log bed plane.

A reciprocating saw blade that includes an elongated blade body defining an inner end and a distal end, a cutting edge located on one side of the blade body and extending between the inner and distal ends thereof and a tang located at the inner end of the blade body. The tang projects from the blade body at an acute angle of at least about 3 relative to a line tangent to an inner end of the cutting edge. The cutting edge includes a portion defining a substantially curved contour and optionally can include at least one further portion defining a non-curved contour.

A saw device for split sawing of elongated timber elements has at least two upright post elements horizontally spaced from each other, each of which in a lower portion is adapted to support the saw device. An elongated, lying guide beam is supported in the upper portions of the post elements and is adapted to displaceably carry a saw assembly along the longitudinal extent of the guide beam. Each of at least two lying timber carriers projects perpendicular from and are displaceable in height along a respective post element. Each of the timber carriers is formed as a console beam which is upwards and downwards displaceable and unturnably connected with the respective post element, and is displaceable by a rotatable threaded rod which is rotatably beared in the post element, extends in its height and engages a threaded hole in the rear portion of the timber carrier.
