Abstract
A apparatus, system, and method are provided for positioning a log for cutting. The apparatus includes a plurality of log-transferring members having a common rotational axis and each having a plurality of log positioner arms extending generally about the rotational axis. The log positioner arms include a lifting surface and a supporting surface circumferentially spaced from the lifting surface such that the lifting and supporting surfaces define a cradle therebetween. The apparatus also includes a drive shaft operable to rotate the plurality of log-transferring members such that a log is retained within the cradle during rotation of the log from a first position adjacent to the lifting surface to a stationary position adjacent to the supporting surface. The log is operable to be cut while supported in the stationary position.
