Redco™ Oregon Bends

Oregon bends are segments of Redco chain channels that have been cut to a specified length and bent to a certain radius to go around equipment. These bends are essential to allow the sawmill chain to return to the start of the table in a smooth and unbroken pattern.  Redco™ Oregon Bends eliminate the metal-to-metal wear that requires chains to be replaced too frequently. Our Oregon Bends have a low coefficient of friction and provide for proper chain flow to maximize chain life.

  • Low coefficient of friction for smooth chain flow
  • Easy installation
  • Protects chain from metal-to-metal wear
  • Custom made configurations are available.

 

Redco™ Trimmer Lugs

White or black UHMW trimmer lugs are ubiquitous at most sawmills. Unlike metal lugs, the softer UHMW takes impact while being gentle and non-marking with the lumber. Redco™ roller lug assemblies are excellent for moving boards on double end trimmer set-ups. The roller sits on a steel pin and turns freely.

  • Base of Pin: 1 1/2″ Diameter
  • Pin Shaft: 1″ Diameter
  • Part includes Pin, Roller, and Weld Washer for installation on top of the roller.
