Cut Stock, Resawing Lumber, and Planing
Cut stock, resawing lumber and planing operations receive raw logs, cants or lumber, break them down into boards, resaw to thickness, plane to dimension and cut to specific lengths or patterns for further manufacturing. For a mill that receives green or dried lumber, processes custom orders for kiln-dried S4S boards, finger-joint blanks or dimensioned cut stock, the specialists turn customer specs into optimized cutting bills, schedule resaw and planer runs, maintain blade and knife inventories, track moisture content and grade yields, prepare bundles for shipment and generate required safety and maintenance records while the sawyers, graders and operators handle the physical cuts, setups, quality calls and final approvals.
