Claim:
1. A log saw machine for cutting a log of wound material normal to its axis comprising: a first arm; a second arm parallel to the first arm; a shaft comprising a first end section and an opposing second end section, the first end section rotatably installed on the first arm, and the second end section rotatably installed on the second arm, wherein the first end section and the second end section are detachably engaged with each other; at least one driving spindle associated with the shaft, wherein at least one transmission component associates the first end section of the shaft with at least one driving spindle, and at least one transmission component likewise associates the opposing second end section of the shaft with at least one driving spindle, whereby torque is applied from the at least one driving spindle to both the first and the opposing second end sections of the shaft; and a circular knife fixed on the shaft, the circular knife being positioned between the first and second arms, and the circular knife defining a plane parallel to the first and second arms, wherein the circular knife is secured and sandwiched between the first end section and second end section of the shaft, wherein the torque that is applied from the at least one driving spindle to both the first and the opposing second end sections of the shaft drives rotation of the circular knife, and wherein the log saw further comprises a support attached to the first and second arms, the support being engaged with a transport mechanism which is adapted to change the position of the support and thereby move the first and second arms to induce motion of the circular knife toward the log to facilitate cutting of the log.
