Sawmill Edger

Sawmill edgers are a type of machinery used in the woodworking industry, specifically in sawmills and planing mills. They are classified under the supply class "Sawmill And Planing Mill Machinery" and belong to the supply group "Woodworking Machinery And Equipment."

Sawmill edgers are designed to trim and square the edges of lumber boards. They are used to remove irregularities, bark, and other defects from the sides of the boards, resulting in straight and smooth edges. This process is essential for producing high-quality lumber that can be used in various woodworking applications.

Sawmill edgers typically consist of a conveyor system that feeds the lumber boards into the machine. The boards are then guided through a series of saw blades or cutters that remove the excess material from the edges. The depth and width of the cuts can be adjusted to meet specific requirements.

Some sawmill edgers also have additional features, such as laser guides or computerized controls, to ensure precise and accurate cutting. These advanced features help optimize the efficiency and productivity of the edging process.

Overall, sawmill edgers play a crucial role in the lumber industry by improving the quality and value of the wood products produced. They help maximize the yield from each log and ensure that the resulting lumber meets the desired specifications.
