The Pole Peeling Machine FMS peels in a single pass rods and poles between 8 and 40 cm diameter and a minimum length of 4 m, by means of the 16 spiral milling cutters gimbal-mounted in the 4 peeling heads. The spiral peeling knives of the milling cutter cut over the rotating wood in the fibre direction and, even with dry wood, peel through knots, butt swellings and similar difficult log parts, leaving them splinter-proof and smooth.
