When the job used in this example is cut, the 20 ft. 2x4
SP SS boards will be cut rst as they are rst on the
pick list. The saw computer will continue to ask for this
size and grade lumber until all 13 boards are cut into
the required truss components. At this point the saw
computer will ask for the next grade and size lumber
listed on the pick list which has been sorted from
highest to lowest grade lumber.

NOTE
This list can be printed and used to pick lumber in the yard.
8. Most of the material required on this example list
(Number 8 on Figure 47) is 2x4 SP #1 and SP #2
in 14 and 20 foot length. In this case it would be
advantageous to store one bunk of each grade of
lumber at the saw. Other sizes and grades required
for the job should be picked before cutting is
started. The pick list not only shows the required
lumber, but also the order in which it is required.
!
CAUTION
It is very important that this order be maintained in the picked
lumber as no pieces requiring high grade lumber will ever be
placed on lower grade lumber.
