McDonough Slabber

If you're looking to increase production and improve first-cut quality, a McDonough Slabber System is a smart addition to your line.

Why Add a Slabber?

• Two cuts at once: The slabber chips off the flitch while your band mill or circle mill cuts the board — doubling your production on the first cut without slowing anything down.
• Cleaner first cuts: The flitch is chipped immediately, keeping your headrig clear and improving downstream flow.
• Better material handling: Removing the flitch early means fewer jams, easier handling, and less wear on your breakdown equipment.
• Fits your setup:
  • Works on McDonough band mills, traditional circle mills, and quad lines.
  • Handles logs from 35"+ down to 12" diameter.
• Flexible for hardwood mills: Designed to work with double cut systems — the slabber is built on heavy duty round ways which allows the machine to move in and out quickly
• Proven solution: Whether you’re running the latest quad line or a traditional headrig, a slabber helps you get more out of every shift.
