A log saw for cutting convolutely wound logs of web material is disclosed. The log saw comprises a cutting blade operating in a cutting plane, a log saw clamp for the retention of a convolutely wound log of web material such that the convolutely wound log of web material extends in a log advancing path through to the cutting plane, and control means connected to the clamping device.

A log saw clamp for temporarily restraining a convolutely wound log of web material for a log saw is disclosed. The log saw clamp comprises a support structure having a first and second cam disposed therein, a pair of opposed first and second paddles, and a first and second linkage.
