McDonough Manufacturing Company - Doublecut Headrig

Since 1888, McDonough has been known as the bandmill company in the lumber industry, that's why you see McDonough headrigs in more mills than any other brand. From 54" to 8', our double column air strain mills set the standard all others are compared to. With time tested standard features like our exclusive Air Strain system, cartridge type pressure guides, cast iron wheels, hydraulic wheel lifts, saw cleaning and lubrication and Timken railroad car bearings, the McDonough bandmill simply outlasts and out performs all others
Benefits of a McDonough Bandmill
- Double Column frame constructed from heavy-duty plate steel. Independent column and base. - Exclusive McDonough Air Strain is the simplest, most effective system to increase feed speeds and minimize mis-cut lumber.
- Cartridge Type Pressure Guide System assists in faster feed speeds and increased accuracy. Guide Block Dressing Machine to resurface guides is included with each Band Mill.
- Cast Iron Wheels. Preferred by saw filers because they prevent saw blades from getting hot and losing tension, unlike steel wheels
- Other standard features: Hydraulically operated top guide and top wheel lift, Timken railroad car bearings in lower wheel, saw blade cleaning and lubricating device.
- Top guide shifts on durable and long lasting linear rail and bearing assemblies to reduce maintenance and increase accuracy
McDonough Carriages are designed with accuracy and ease of maintenance in mind with state-of-the-art features you will only find on a McDonough. Standard Sizes: 36", 42", and 48" openings with custom sizes available. Precision Duty starts from 12,000 pounds and Premium Duty from 20,000 pounds. Both Premium and Precision Duty Carriages share the same features, other than the Premium being a heavier Carriage.

I wish I had a machine like this.

Wow that guy is sitting way up in the air. I would hate having to look down at the carriage like that. The log is right in front of my face with the head rig I run.

Snatch and grab dogs would be a huge improvement on that head rig. Huge. Not a fast rig, could be though.
