2.19 Edging
The following steps guide you through edging boards on the Wood-Mizer sawmill.
1. Raise the side supports to 1/2 the height of the flitches, or the boards that need to be edged.
2. Stack the flitches on edge against the side supports.
3. Clamp the flitches against the side supports halfway up the flitch height. (Wider flitches should be
placed to the clamp side. When they are edged, flip them over to edge the second side without
disturbing the other flitches or without having to pull them from the middle of the stack).
4. Adjust the blade height to edge a few of the widest boards.
5. Loosen the clamp and turn the edged boards over to edge the other side.
6. Repeat steps 2-4.
7. Loosen the clamp and remove the boards that have good clean edges on both sides. Clamp the
remaining flitches and repeat steps 2-5.
2.20 Optional Cutting Procedure for Super Series Mills
In order to achieve maximum production rates with Super Series mills; it may be desirable to leave
the blade engaged when returning the carriage. (Normal operation procedures recommend
disengaging the blade before returning the carriage for maximum blade life and fuel economy.)
DANGER! If leaving the blade engaged for maximum production rates,
make sure the off-bearer stays out of the path of the blade. Failure to
do so will result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! If you choose to leave the blade engaged; raise the blade
to clear the log before returning the carriage. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the blade and/or sawmill.
