In the 1950s, the carpenter Johann Resch came up with the idea of taking the saw to the logs instead of the logs to the saw. He started developing his first log bandsaw in the fall of 1954, and a short time later he was able to make his first test cuts on 14 February 1955. Since then, the log bandsaws have been further refined based on a wealth of practical experience and adapted to the progress of technology and aesthetic criteria.

After operating the company for fifty years, Johann and Ignaz Resch turned it over to three of their long-term employees in January 2006. This led to the new company name Resch & 3.

The mobile version is hardly different from the stationary version. Its extra fittings include a tandem axle, a drawbar, hydraulically actuated fold-out rails, and hydraulic support legs. The stationary log bandsaw does not need costly concrete foundations, and it can be erected on any desired site.

The mobile version is usually fitted with a 54-kW diesel engine so it is independent of an electrical power source. In addition, it would be cumbersome to transport an auxiliary generator of this size.
An electric motor (standard rating 30 kW or more) is normally fitted to the stationary version if the electrical connection can provide sufficient power.

The mobile bandsaw is approved for road transport at up to 40 km/h. As an option, the entire system can be constructed on a lowboy trailer approved for 80 km/h transport.ut werden.

The Type 1050 and Type 1200 are standard models. The Type 1400 is also manufactured for cutting laminations for glulam beams.

The standard version can process logs up to 13 meters long into planks, beams, square timber, slats, etc. However, the maximum cutting length is always adjusted to the customer’s requirements and can be longer or shorter than standard by as much as 4 metres.

The log is loaded onto the guideway, positioned, and clamped in place. The log remains stationary while the saw travels back and forth. Logs up to 13 meters long can be sawn using a 16-metre machine length. By contrast, vertical bandsaws with the feed motion being provided by the log require twice as much length.benötigt man die doppelte Länge.

A direct view of the sawn timber ensures constant quality control. The sawblade, blade guides, precutter and crosscut saw are always within the operator’s field of view.

The ECO saw is a simple, inexpensive machine. Although it is not equipped with supplementary functions, it still guarantees stability and precision. It features easy operation using pushbutton switches, with the height setting being configured using a display. All functions are hydraulically actuated, and the feed rate is continuously adjustable. In contrast to the PROFI model, the ECO model does not have an operator cab, but it does have a protective screen for the operator.Funktionen sind hydraulisch, der Vorschub funktioniert stufenlos. Im Gegensatz zum Modell PROFI gibt es bei ECO keine Kabine, wohl aber eine Schutzscheibe für den Bediener.

The saws can handle not only coniferous wood, but also hardwood, including precious tropical woods. The robust construction and stability of the machines ensure precise cutting. Particularly for larch, water is sprayed onto the sawblade to lubricate the blade. The ripping saw is used primarily with hardwood to part the heartwood.allem bei Laubholz, um den Kern zu spalten.
