3.25 Edging
The following steps guide you through edging boards on the LX50 sawmill.
1. Raise the side supports to 1/2 the height of the boards that need to be edged.
2. Stack these boards on edges against the side supports.
3. Clamp the boards against the side supports halfway up the board height. (Wider boards should be
placed to the clamp side. When they are edged, flip them over to edge the second side without
disturbing the other boards 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 clamps and turn the edged boards over to edge the other side.
6. Repeat steps 2-4.
7. Loosen the clamps and remove the boards that have good clean edges on both sides. Clamp the
remaining boards and repeat steps 2-5.
3.26 Blade Height Scale
See Figure 3-25. The blade height scale is mounted on the vertical mast. It includes:
a blade height indicator,
a centimeter scale (or quarter inch scale).
Blade Height Indicator
Readings should be taken with eyes level with the indicator. This will allow to avoid the parallax error
(different scale readings depending on the angle of vision).
