2.16 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 sec-
ond side without disturbing the other flitches or without having to pull them from the mid-
dle 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.
