PROSPECTS OF BAND SAW TECHNOLOGIES IN WOODWORKING

The article discusses the prospects for using band saw technologies in woodworking in Russia. The author notes a decrease in timber harvests in recent years due to sanctions, but emphasizes the active actions of the regions to compensate for this decrease, for example, by creating new sales markets abroad. The main emphasis in the article is on the need for rational use of wood raw materials, especially soft-leaved species. The author expresses an opinion about the low efficiency of forest management in Russia and the ineffectiveness of using expensive foreign band saws under sanctions. The development of domestic production of band saws and their use in small enterprises in various regions of Russia, especially in the forest-steppe, seems to the author as a more competitive and economically feasible solution. The advantages of the band saw over other methods of wood processing, such as continuity of the cutting process, high productivity, low cost of tools and energy saving, make it promising for use in various industries and enterprises. The main idea of the article is that the development of domestic production and the use of band saw technologies in woodworking can help improve the efficiency of the wood processing process in various regions of Russia and make the national industry more competitive both in the domestic and international markets.
