Diehl ProCut 725 High-Speed Crosscut Saw

The Diehl Machines ProCut 725 is a high speed crosscut saw built to cut solid wood to length fast, accurately, and repeatably. As an optimizing crosscut saw, it marks and cuts around defects and runs programmed cut lists — up to 138 cuts per minute at ±0.5 mm accuracy. It’s an industrial crosscut saw engineered for real production, giving manufacturers high-speed cut-to-length and defecting performance at a practical investment.

The Diehl Machines ProCut 725 is a heavy-duty industrial crosscut saw engineered for manufacturers that need fast, accurate, repeatable cutting without unnecessary complexity. Combining rugged construction, straightforward operation, and dependable cutting performance, the ProCut 725 is an ideal solution for woodworking operations looking to increase productivity while maintaining the quality and reliability expected from Diehl Machines.

Built for Production

Whether cutting components to finished length, removing defects, or processing material for downstream operations, the ProCut 725 is designed to keep production moving. Its powerful cutting system and production-focused design provide the speed and consistency required for demanding industrial applications while remaining simple for operators to set up and use.

How the ProCut 725 Works

The ProCut 725 is an in-line optimizing crosscut saw: boards feed continuously through the machine while it decides where to cut, removes defects, and cuts each piece to length.

  1. Feed. A high-performance AC servo motor drives the infeed conveyor, positioning each board precisely at feed speeds up to 190 FPM (servo).
  2. Mark & detect. Defects are marked with a fluorescent crayon and read by a photocell sensor, so the saw automatically cuts them out.
  3. Optimize the cut list. A Job Sheet system holds up to 36 sizes per sheet and 100 job sheets, with multiple cutting modes — so you set the exact lengths and quantities each run needs.
  4. Cut. A 20″ blade at 4,000 RPM crosscuts each piece to length at up to 138 cuts per minute (185 with the servo option), holding ±0.5 mm accuracy.

The result is a high speed crosscut saw that turns rough or random-length stock into accurate, defect-free, cut-to-length parts — with less labor and higher throughput.

  • Cut-to-length and defect-removal applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ProCut 725?

It’s Diehl Machines’ new high-speed optimizing crosscut saw — an in-line, cut-to-length saw that automatically removes defects and cuts solid-wood parts to programmed lengths at up to 138 cuts per minute.

What makes it an “optimizing” crosscut saw?

It reads each board, marks and cuts out defects (with a photocell sensor and fluorescent-crayon marking), and cuts to a programmed cut list — a Job Sheet holding up to 36 sizes across 100 job sheets, with multiple cutting modes — to maximize yield and the right part mix.

How fast and how accurate is it?

Up to 138 cuts per minute (185 with the servo option), at ±0.5 mm cutting accuracy, with feed speeds up to 190 FPM.

What size material can it cut?

Stock from 1/2″ to 3″ thick and 3/4″ to 9″ wide, with a 2″ minimum cutting size and a maximum timber cross-section up to 9-1/16″ × 1-1/2″ (or 6-5/16″ × 3″).

What is the ProCut 725 used for?

Cutting components to finished length, removing defects, and processing material for downstream operations — across furniture, cabinet, millwork, flooring, door and window, and pallet production.

Air cylinder or servo — what’s the difference?

The standard air-cylinder machine cuts up to 138 per minute at 150 FPM feed; the optional servo drive raises that to 185 cuts per minute at 190 FPM feed for higher throughput.

What support comes with it?

The ProCut 725 is backed by Diehl Machines, a division of Mereen-Johnson, with experienced parts, service, and application professionals who understand industrial woodworking machinery.
