Explanation:
If this is about cutting of the tops (thin ends) of logs or trees, the term is lopping.

Here's the term used for shears: http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/Products.asp...

cut-off station


Explanation:
I expect this would be the station where the timber is cut to length. This term is in use, in any case. Search the page referenced. However yours is probably using a chainsaw and this reference seems to have a circular saw.
