How much does this Job Pay?

It's like a canter and a gang all in one. tail it with an edger and a trimmer and you could produce alot with 3 operators if you fixed that one flaw of your horrizontle saws and made it so they didnt cut deeper then 2 inch flitch

OK, I'm no expert, but aren't those edging saws leaving slight cuts in the bigger piece of lumber?

@donkeymorris Seems like the head saw is "running out" Typically that is caused when, in basic terms, one side of the saw is duller than the other. This is normal and can be fixed by sharpening the saw. The grooves aren't a really big deal as rough lumber is finished before sale. Example, a 2X4 you buy doesn't measure actually 2X4, it's generally 1 1/2 X 3 3/4 or 1 1/2 X 3 1/2. The grooves will "plane out" In time though the saw "running off" spell trouble as the blade will begin to heat.

@MiscCheetah. As a rule of thumb, you are correct, but watch the video, Donkey has a point, some of the slight cuts that he is talking about, are more than slight, and are too deep to plane out. The 8x8 or whatever he is sawing has to go into some sort of gang saw system, and then the deep cuts will show there true colors. Most of the slight cuts wont hurt, but i did see a couple that would.
