The production rates range up to 1000 to 2000bdft and hour when cutting cants. 2 sided cants will double production.
The saws set hydraulically for fast easy productive operation. It takes 3 men to run this mill and a loader. Logs are loaded on to the infeed deck and are passed through the 2 saws producing a 2 sided cant. This cant is then pushed off the right hand side of the mill and once the deck of logs are cut they then can be returned to the live deck to be passed through again to produce you square. This mill can be used in conjunction with a bull edger to produce dimensional lumber. After 2 siding the cants they then can be put through the bull edger for high production dimensional lumber cutting or cants up to 6”

The Edger Saw

This saw which trails the head saw is working like a built in edger edging all you lumber while the head saw is make its vertical cut through the log. This advantage means no log turning, higher yield , and less handling. The splitter system that has been designed to follow both saws keeps the boards separated from each of the saws.

Advantage

The head saw starts into the log first and then as the edger saw trails edging the board the log tension is released after the head saw not onto the head saw. This allows no clamping onto the head saw . The results are higher yields and less waste and less saw maintenance.

Inserted Saws

Allows operator to change the teeth in the field. There is a total of 10 teeth on the 30 inch head saw and 8″ edger saw costing a maximum of $2 per day for replacement saw teeth. Less teeth on the smaller models. You never will have to replace the actual blade.

Board Return

With the board return built right into the carriage, the lumber returns out the back of mill direct to the lumber pile as the carriage is returning back to the operator. The operator has only to handle the last few feet of the fully edged board.
