Sawmill

The sawmill has become one of the most efficient small Southern yellow pine mills in the South East.  Log trucks are unloaded with a circular crane and a front end loader.  The logs are cut to length at a bucking deck and run through a metal detector just before entering the mill.  Over sized logs are run through a skragg mill and normal logs are run through a a primary saw carriage.  The logs then pass through a secondary saw gang.  At this point a board is produced and is sent to a separation station where the boards are sent to the re-saw or the edger.  The last saw before leaving the mill is the trim saw.  After going through the trim saw, the boards are scanned for dimension and length.
