Wanted: Wooding Shearing Machine

Shearing a 3' diameter log doesn't sound feasible to me. I'd suspect a sawing motion is needed.
Del

Hello, ramofpersus.

I agree with Del... most of us usually do. Shearing or slicing a flitch 50mm+ will almost certainly crack the sheared piece.

Here is a pretty good data sheet for sliced lumber:

This from the AWI handbook.

Sawing should produce the thickness you indicate with little trouble.

Boy, that didn't come out so good.

I'll see if I can clean it up a little, and post it again.

Thank you for the info. We have detail drawing of the machin, could not send as attachement with this mail. Will send under personal mail to those interested in manufacturing this machine.

Have you investigated equipment and machines already available, and not found something that will work for you?

If you wish, you can send me an internal message and I will be happy to have a look for you. I do not manufacture machines, but have been around plant equipment for wood doors, and may be able to suggest something.

Thank you, please provide your email address for direct communication.

There is no need. Use CR4's messaging system instead.

Thanks, PWSlack. I have corresponded with ramofpersus through the internal mail at CR4, and we have traded a few emails thru the internet as well.

As an update to this thread, in the vernacular of the palm oil business, 'Wood Shearing' is the process of removing the fruit bunches from the woody stalk of a palm branch. The OP is looking for assistance in this area, not slicing lumber as Del and I had interpreted his question. As I have nothing to offer him about this, I advised him to post again, with a differently worded question.

we are a manufacturer of shearing machine and our web is www.shearingmachine.org
