1.400-500 CUTS PER HOUR: Enough cut wood to build approximately 2,000 pallets per 8h shift — production-grade output with a single operator.
2.FULLY AUTOMATIC PLC CYCLE: The operator only places the timber; the machine automatically clamps, cuts, retracts and feeds — true full automation, not just "powered".
3.HANDLES HARDWOODS & SOFTWOODS: Cuts oak, beech, pine, spruce, eucalyptus, rubberwood and tropical hardwoods — adapts to the timber you actually use.
4.±1 mm CUTTING PRECISION: PLC-servo-positioned cutting holds ±1 mm tolerance across thick blocks and stringers.
5.BIG CUTTING ENVELOPE: Cut up to 140 × 300 mm cross-section (or 150 × 280 mm) — handles the heavy block-and-stringer profiles real pallet production demands.
6.THREE FEEDING TABLE LENGTHS: 2 m, 4 m or 6 m feeding tables — choose the footprint that fits your workshop and your raw material lengths.


SF6060 is a fully automatic PLC-controlled cross-cut saw — reliable, fast, and built for continuous daily duty. If your production needs go further, the SF6060S adds:
Choose SF6060 for cost-effective fully automatic pallet cross-cutting; choose SF6060S for higher automation, photo-eye yield optimization and full-line integration.
At pallet-production volumes, manual or basic chop saws bleed time and accuracy. SF6060 delivers a fully automatic PLC cycle and a cast-steel 11 kW cutting head — at a fraction of the cost of comparable European saws.

Q: What is the SF6060 used for?
A: Fully automatic PLC-controlled cross-cutting of pallet blocks, stringers and solid-wood boards.
Q: How fast is it?
A: 400-500 cuts per hour, enough cut wood to build approximately 2,000 pallets per 8h shift, with a single operator.
Q: How automatic is the cycle?
A: Fully automatic — the operator only places the timber; the machine clamps, cuts, retracts and feeds automatically under PLC control.
Q: What woods can it cut?
A: Oak, beech, pine, spruce, eucalyptus, rubberwood and tropical hardwoods, with a 600 mm carbide blade.
Q: How accurate is the cut?
A: ±1 mm cutting tolerance, held by a Siemens PLC + servo motor and a 600 mm blade running at 3,150 rpm.
Q: What feeding table lengths are available?
A: 2 m, 4 m or 6 m — choose the model that fits your workshop and raw material.
Q: What's the maximum cutting section?
A: 150 × 280 mm or 140 × 300 mm (thickness × width).
Q: How long can it run per day?
A: Engineered for 16+ hours of continuous daily operation on its cast-steel frame.
Q: What control system does it use?
A: Siemens PLC and touchscreen, with Schneider electrics and Honeywell intermediate relays.
Q: How is it different from the SF6060S?
A: SF6060 is the fully automatic standard cross-cut saw; SF6060S adds an automatic feeding platform (up to 50 m/min), photo-eye smart length detection and a heavier 4-tonne frame for higher-automation production.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
A: 30% T/T deposit, LC at sight, and SINOSURE export credit insurance.
