Available in Reedsville, Wisconsin, this used Brewco 5-head resaw for sale is an older, heavy-duty horizontal band-resaw system designed for sawmills, pallet manufacturers, lumber-remanufacturing businesses, and industrial wood-processing operations. The machine is priced at $30,000 OBO and includes five cutting heads, five 20 HP electric motors, 36-inch band wheels, hydraulic belt feed, hydraulic hold-down components, variable feed speed, and a hydraulic power pack.
The seller reports that the machine needs to be rebuilt, making it most appropriate for a buyer with the mechanical ability, facilities, personnel, and resources needed to inspect, repair, install, and place an older production resaw back into service.
Five-Head Production Configuration
This Brewco resaw is configured with five horizontal cutting heads. Each head is powered by an individual 20 HP electric motor, providing approximately 100 combined saw-head horsepower.
The multi-head design allows material to pass through several cutting stations during one production cycle. Depending on blade spacing, material size, feed settings, and the finished product being produced, this configuration may reduce the number of passes required compared with a single-head resaw.
Potential applications include:

Pallet deck boards
Pallet stringer material
Cant breakdown
Fence boards
Crating lumber
Dunnage
Hardwood and softwood lumber
Dimensional wood products
Reclaimed-lumber processing
Lumber recovery and remanufacturing

The seller reports a maximum cutting width of approximately 7 inches and a maximum cutting height of approximately 14 inches. The minimum board thickness is reported at approximately 7/16 inch, while the maximum board thickness is reported at approximately 6 inches. Buyers should confirm these measurements before purchase because the exact Brewco model and factory specifications have not been supplied.
Heavy-Duty Horizontal Band Resaw
The machine is described as an older, heavy-duty Brewco horizontal band resaw. It is equipped with five sets of 36-inch band wheels.
Additional seller-provided saw-head information includes:

Five horizontal band-saw heads
36-inch band wheels
Approximately 1½-inch wheel-face width
Approximately 1¼-inch blade width

The exact blade thickness, tooth profile, kerf, wheel specifications, and replacement-blade requirements should be verified before ordering blades or replacement components.

Each cutting head is powered by its own 20 HP electric motor. This provides dedicated power at each saw station instead of using a single motor to power the complete five-head arrangement.
Seller-reported motor information includes:

Five electric motors
20 HP per cutting head
Approximately 100 combined HP
460-volt electrical system
Three-phase power
