Description
With log BAND you can create cutting patterns for log band saws. In just a few steps you can create a cutting plan for a log and a list of the resulting sawn timber assortments.
Define and sort the assortments as you want to cut them. Your assortments are distributed on a log cross-section that they make optimal use of the log and the waste remains as low as possible.
log Band calculates the exact cutting pattern from the plait diameter and the length of the log. You can see a list with the yield of the sawn timber assortments before you start cutting.
What’s New
Version 1.0.6
Get an output of where you need to cut. Besides that, everything is a bit nicer and more intuitive.
Ratings and Reviews
Very helpful for DIY millers
This is a great yield planning tool for my small home based sawmill where a one man operation need to plan and optimize yield on a project by project basis. Didn’t give a perfect five only because I see some control over board quantity and other minor upgrades that would make this indefensible.
Thanks for the app!
Developer Response ,
Hi nuMediaInn, thanks, really appreciate it. If you have any suggestions for improvement, feel free to email me. Thanks again and happy cutting.
Very close to just what I needed
This app for me is a game changer when coming up with a log cutting plan. But I found on my iphone 12 I could not change Board dimensions properly under “Stem &Saw” because the number pad that comes up does not include a decimal point. And yes I am definitely set for working in inches. (and what is “stem”) Maybe this is what andcpier was referring to. On the ipad there is no problem because we get the whole keyboard to work with. The one quirk on the ipad is that you have to have it orientated in “portrait positioning”. One other thing on the iphone is that entering the length of the log is awkward. The number keypad comes up and hides the field that you are trying to enter the number into. So as it is currently I just won’t be able to do much with it on my phone. Some instruction on of use of this app would be helpful for me. I did not find any. I have it mostly figured out but am unsure about some lesser used functions. Today I used the app to plan the cuts on a 24” log. The process went perfectly with the app telling me what height to set the blade and I followed my own logic on when to turn the log. The last cut left boards on the bed that were the exact dimension I wanted. More control over what size boards and how many of them that get incorporated into the plan would be an improvement. And there will be times when I would like to use it on my phone. Thanks much for your effort in getting it this far. It is really going to help me. I should mention that I added an inexpensive DRO on my mill and that is great to have for use with this app.
Nice app
Nice app.
But it would be nice to be able to toggle between CM and inches for those in the US
