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. Reference: http://murphyauction.com/Content/Static/Auction/FGL/FGLBroch... |
