The story of the HELLE
Vertical Edger goes back to the early 1970's, when our customers began
requesting this labor saving device. Quite frankly we observed what was
available and it was, in the opinion of the sawyer, junk. So we decided
that if we are going to build one, it will be a reliable piece of machinery
worth the name Helle.

Our standard model machine has
22" diameter blades for 9" slab clearance and 8 " depth of cut. The horsepower
is sized for 4" depth of cut using Delbert Helle's rules of 15 HP per blade.
2 Saw Machine = 30 HP
3 Saw Machine = 40 HP
4 Saw Machine = 75 HP
We at Sawmill Hydraulics put a little
extra on the 4 Saw because once you have one that big, it does not cost much
more for the reserve power.
Also now available with Shaver or Sawdust heads! Need to get rid of the Edging Strips? Want Sawdust OR Shavings? Want QUALITY? Call us today.

Why Buy a Vertical Edger?
Saves a Man:
This one is so obvious that we debated even saying it.
Straight Boards:
A lot of people will testify that a horizontal edger has a tendency to "run
with the sapwood!"
Replaces a Top Saw:
How many times have you had your edgerman chopping the wide board or a slab?
Speaking of Slabs:
Tried running the slab thru a
horizontal edger for recovery resaws lately?
Less Maintenance:
Just grease it 4 times a day and keep the blades sharp!
Safety:
Everybody knows a horror story about a board kicking out of a horizontal
edger.
Quality Production:
We will be the first to admit that it can't compete with a GOOD Edgerman. We sell Vertical Edgers because of the growing shortage of
Good Edgerman.
