Multiblade Saw (Wooden Box)

About the sound

Model: Raimann K 23
dB: 88.8 (max)
Recording distance: 1,5m

The first step in crafting a wooden box is to cut long wooden planks to a specific, pre-set width. One person feeds the planks into the machine while another removes them.
In the recording, you can clearly hear the machine starting up and the wood coming into contact with it. When the wood hits the blade, a sharp, piercing pricing noise resounds through the constant humming of the machine.

Since 1949, the name Lessmann has been synonymous with traditional box-making craftsmanship, based in Nördlingen, Bavaria. The workshop is now in its third generation of family ownership under Werner Lessmann.
They manufacture wooden boxes for all types of beverages and gift packaging. The company is dedicated to producing beer and wine boxes, as well as custom-made products and designs from sustainable wood.
Most of their machines date back to the 1960s, with a few newer ones from the 1980s onwards . And that makes it all the more important to capture their sound.
The company’s main customers are beer, wine, and coffee distributors who require special packaging.
Here we hear how a six-pack carrier suitable for beer or similar types of bottles is made
