A rotary log debarker comprising a container. The container comprises a bottom part, two opposed longitudinal walls extending upward from the bottom part, one end wall, and a chute. The bottom part comprises rotors being drivable by a power source. The rotors comprise a plurality of debarking plates. The debarking plates comprise an abrasive surface. The rotary log debarker is characterized in that it is provided with a tilting system for adjustable tilting of the container about a pivot point.

A milling head for profiling logs has two rotating machining tools, the axes of rotation of which extend parallel to one another apart from possibly deviating inclination angles of the machining tools. The machining tools are designed to each create a circumferential and an end-side machining face and the position of the circumferential machining faces of the two machining tools is settable in relation to a log to be machined independently of the respective other machining tool. With such a settable milling head, a variable double step for the subsequent detachment of two side boards can be produced on each log side, which can be optimized independently of one another on account of the log contour.
