Abstract
A device for feeding a workpiece into a gang saw sawblade cluster has a longitudinal drive for selectively longitudinally translating a workpiece, which has been sequenced onto the longitudinal drive, into a gang saw sawblade cluster, and a selective positioner for selectively positioning and presetting for each workpiece the longitudinal drive height relative to the gang saw sawblade cluster as the longitudinal drive translates the workpiece longitudinally into the gang saw sawblade cluster.
