Abstract

A method and a device for carrying out the method of guiding the blades (4) of a circular saw in operation, such as at the sawing of, for example, saw timber, timber blocks, battens or other workpieces on wood basis, where one or several blades (4) are located at an axle (6) and each blade is guided by at least one guide (9,11) acting on the blade. At least one of the guides (9,11) of each blade (4), and in such a case guides corresponding to each other for all blades (4), separate or together with said corresponding guide of remaining blades in the form of a guide package (9',11') during the sawing are floating substantially in the axial direction of the blades (4) and hereby continuously positioned laterally in response to movements and position of the workpiece (1) being sawn, substantially in the axial direction of the blades in connection to the guide or guide package and/or the lateral movements and lateral position of the blade(s) in connection to the guide (9,11) or guide package (9',11').
