German Style Peelers
Introduced at the 54th annual logging congress in Escanaba, Michigan, the W. G. Benjey Inc. brand German Style Peeler has become increasingly popular with log home manufactures. These machines are designed for quick and efficient peeling of smaller logs, 12" or less in diameter. If you are presently peeling by hand, this machine will increase production dramatically.

Model 3250 - The "workhorse" of the Benjey German Style Peelers, this model features a 32" wheel to easily face material between 2" and 12" in diameter.

Model 2450 - This mid-size peeler is perfect for most peeling applications.  The 24" wheel will handle material up to 10" in diameter, while offering great performance at a lower price.

Model 2030 - The smallest of the German Style Peelers, this model has been designed specifically for log furniture railings and spindles.  The 20" wheel peels logs up to 8" in diameter.

Model 2426 - In this configuration, the work piece is supported at each end by roller saddles.  Driven rollers at the head end allow the log to be turned, while the saddles can be raised or lowered to match the size of the log.  The cutting head is mounted to a space frame that rides on tracks common to the base frame.  This allows the head to travel the entire length of the frame.

Model 2430 - With this machine, the cutting head is limited to 14 feet of travel.  Driven rollers not only allow the log to be turned, but also shuttled to the left or right.  Logs are loaded onto the bed from one end of the machine and can exit on the other end, which gives an assembly line effect.  Logs of varying length can be used without having to make adjustments.

Model 2430LLP - The largest version of the long log peelers, this model allows the option of a log turning chuck over the standard turning rollers.  The cutting head is suspended from tracks that run the entire length of the frame, which allows more flexibility and clearance in the working area.

Model 2023HH -  This machine is designed to create a "hand hewn" or "hand scalloped" look on the face of pre-molded siding.  Three long-sweep disc-style cutting heads shape the material while it rides on a tilting belt conveyor.

Model 2023HPS - Opposed to the shorter and more curved features of hand hewn material, this machine gives the look of logs peeled using a standard draw knife.  Longer, straighter cuts are achieved using a series of straight bore, arbor type cutting heads.
