MACHINE FOR REDUCING LOGS ABSTRACT A decortication or debasting machine receives raw uncut logs from a conveyor and reduces each raw log to a uniform reference cross-section along the length of the log and delivers the log to a conveyor which automatically feeds it onto a sawmill. Cutting tools are swingable in planes which contain the rotational axis of the tool and the longitudinal axis of a log. the cutting tools and their driving motors are sup- ported by parallel guide rods each of which is pivoted about an axis that is perpendicular to the cutting tool's swing plane. Hydraulic actuators, connected to the distal ends of the guide rods, cause them to pivot upon receipt of a signal from an electronic controller. Sensing rollers acting through the electronic control maintain the speed of advance of the log through the machine relative to the depth of cut of the cutting tools. Runners in contact with the finished surface of the log guide the cutting tools to maintain the uniformity of the finished log's cross-section. Adjustable guides or springs limit the swinging motion of the cutting tools which in turn limit the depth of cut.
