VarioCut SHK – Maximum performance. Precision without compromises.

The Variocut SHK stands for state‑of‑the‑art high‑performance cross‑cutting technology and maximum efficiency throughout the production process. Thanks to the movable, electrically controlled package carriage, each package is positioned with exceptional precision and reliability. The innovative guide bar guidance system enables cross cuts at angles from 0–15°, offering maximum flexibility, material‑saving operation, and outstanding accuracy. Timber packages can be cross‑cut steplessly to any required package height. The integrated set-off device  opens the kerf and ensures perfect cutting results, even when processing multiple lengths.

Designed for the highest throughput demands, the VarioCut package cross‑cut saw impresses with its extremely robust machine design, vertical guide bar guidance, and variable guide bar control during the cutting process. The powerful 15‑kW drive guarantees short cycle times, high process reliability, and maximum productivity — making the VarioCut SHK the ideal solution for high‑performance cross‑cutting applications in industrial production environments. The idea was as simple as it was revolutionary: instead of cutting each board individually, the entire package is crosscut to length in a single cut. Less handling, higher throughput and significantly greater precision.
