Property Damage – Cut Off Saw Failure
A crooked log entering the Cut Off Saw was stopped to cut off the overhung end. The crooked log was trapped under two other logs on the cut-off saw infeed conveyor. Once cut, the crooked log fell sideways into the running Cut-Off saw blade, causing the blade to break apart. There were no injuries and the 72” circular saw blade pieces were contained within the guard.
