Stenner produce the most extensive range
of wide band resaws in the world
U
K based Stenner Ltd
produced their first 36” wide
band resaw in the 1950’s.
The original machine was known as
the VHM36. Over a period of about
45 years more than 7000 VHM36
machines were despatched from
their Devon factory to destinations
all around the world. Many are still
functioning today.
The 36” resaw is still very much
in demand and is available in 3
new models launched in 2018. The
ST100RB is the entry level machine
with the classic 36” diameter cast
iron pulleys.
Modern features such
as pneumatic saw straining
and pressure sawguides are
standard and a heavy duty fence
complements these features
ensuring fast accurate resawing of
hardwoods and softwoods.
The ST100 range are
“pitless” machines requiring
no underground foundation.
The ST100R has all the features
of the entry level machine plus
HMI control of the key machine
functions, and, as an option is
