Embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for shape sawing wood. Specifically, embodiments include an infeed with laterally displaceable positioning rolls and a longitudinal axis between the positioning rolls. The embodiments further include a saw box with a frame and a plurality of saws coupled with a plurality of vertical arbors within the frame. In certain embodiments, the frame is operable to move laterally or rotationally with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation.

Embodiments of a system for shape sawing wood may include a feed unit and a saw box pivotably coupled to, and suspended from, one end of the feed unit. The saw box may be coupled to the side walls of the feed unit by pivot pins that define a rotational axis. A motor may be mounted to one side of the saw box to drive a saw arbor in rotation. The system may include an actuator that is selectively actuable to pivot the saw box about the rotational axis relative to the feed unit. Another actuator may be provided to move the saw box laterally along the pivot members. The feed unit may be slideably mounted on rails and selectively movable along the rails relative to a feed axis that extends through the saw box and the feed unit.

A cross-cutting circular saw device comprising: a frame (1); a guide (10) carried by the frame (1) and adapted to span an object (5) to be cross-cut by sawing; a carriage (3) mounted for reciprocal movement along the guide (10); at least one circular saw blade (4A, 4B) carried by the carriage (3); a motor (11) for moving the carriage (3) and rotating said at least one saw blade (4A, 4B), said motor (11) being fixed to the frame (1); a first transmission (2) arranged between the motor (11) and the carriage (3) for transforming an output of the motor to a reciprocating movement of the carriage (3) along the guide (10); and a second transmission (8, 9) arranged between the carriage (3) and the at least one saw blade (4A, 4B) for transforming the reciprocating movement of the carriage (3) to a rotation of said at least one saw blade (4A, 4B).
