Sawing about 15 cubic meters in three days, that’s a lot of wood. That’s what happened at the Agrialp trade fair in South Tyrol last autumn. Logosols’ Henrik Sigurdson and Matthias Brand drove from Bad Saulgau to South Tyrol for the launch of Logosol B751. There they put the new band sawmill to the test for the first time.
“I’ve never sawn so much in such a short time,” admits Henrik, who has been CEO of Logosol Germany for many years and is a seasoned carpenter. When the logladen truck arrived at the exhibition stand, he was very surprised and whispered to Matthias:
“All that can’t be for us, can it?” But it was, and with delivered along with the logs there was also a detailed sawing instruction for two log cabins that were to be built on site.
BUILDING FOR A GOOD PURPOSE The plan had been developed together with the exhibition organizer “Profanter Gartentechnik,” a Logosol dealer in South Tyrol. Under the guidance of Logosol’s log house expert Erich Pohl, two log houses were to be built from the finished sawn timber. The log houses would

subsequently be auctioned for a good cause. Twelve highly-motivated course participants were prepared, under Erich’s guidance, to use the specially sawn timber to build two stately log houses. This was part of a construction course for building in timber.
UNIQUE SETTING OF THE SAW CUT “We sawed, talked, sawed, talked and continued to saw,” says Henrik with a smile, remembering the trade fair’s busy and pleasant days.
His colleague Matthias also remembers the many visitors to the trade fair who formed a permanent ring around the exhibition stand. The result was obvious:
“Our B751 performed the mission with flying colours!” says a proud Matthias, who was impressed by how easy the new bandsaw was to use. The ease and speed of the work is mainly due to the new setting of the saw cut. With the revolutionary Last Cut indicator, which shows the latest saw cut, the saw measurement can be adjusted • At the end of the three days of the trade fair, Logosol’s Henrik (right) and Matthias were pleased and happy to have managed to saw so many cubic meters in such a short time.
quickly and accurately. Henrik was also impressed with this feature:
“The saw cut setting is almost like magic, even though it is manual. This is only possible with Logosol’s band sawmill”, he explains with a laugh.
REVOLUTIONARY LOG HOLDER Over three days, 15 cubic metres of timber were sawn. At the same time, Erich and his course participants worked on the log houses, which were completed in time for the auction to take place on the last day of the fair. The timber dimensions were exactly right; the B751 had done a fantastic job and left no marks on the logs.
“The B751 is equipped with a new and revolutionary log holder with eccentric handles that do not damage the wood,” says Henrik, highlighting another unique function of the new band sawmill.
A GOOD JOB WELL DONE With such a perfect result, it was not difficult to auction off the two log cabins for around EUR 7 000. The money was donated to the “Bauernnotstand fund,” an association that supports needy farmers in South Tyrol.
“After three days of the trade fair, everyone was happy,” says Matthias. All the Logosol personnel contributed to an excellent job well done, not to mention the new band sawmill.
“We received orders already during the trade fair. There were customers of various kinds, ranging from entrepreneurs in forestry and crafts, to ordinary private individuals”, says Henrik, who is incredibly pleased that Logosol once again booked its presence at a successful trade fair. • The logs, which were sawn up with the B751 band sawmill, contained approximately 15 cubic metres of timber.
• In order to cut all the logs, the work must be quick, but at the same time give an exact result.
