The definitive book on lumber maufacturing techniques looks at the modern mill as a total system, beginning with the handling of raw materials on through the finished product. Included are developments in scanner-computer systems; automatic grading, sorting, and packaging systems; automatic data collection. Each unit of the mill is examined and described in detail. Every method, operation, and technique is illustrated and documented, with graphs and tables. Over 30 chapters examine five topics: I. Supplying and Preparing the Raw Material; II. Rough Lumber Manufacturing; III. Manufacturing Dry Lumber, Chips, and Fuel; IV. Measuring Performance, Controlling Quality, and Maintaining Equipment; and V. Principal Sawmill Types. This is a practical book for management, technical and operations people.
