How to Increase Yield on Unedged Boards: Multi-Rip Infeed, Wane Waste, and Positioning (Practical Guide)
How to Increase Yield on Unedged Boards: Multi-Rip Infeed, Wane Waste, and Positioning (Practical Guide) Unedged boards are hard material: variable width, wane on the edges, curvature, and high board-to-board variability. That is why yield at the multi-rip stage can change by shift even when the saw itself is mechanically fine.

Vision System for Cant Centering Before a Multi-Rip Saw: Yield, Quality, and ROI (No Hype) The problem: the cant enters the multi-rip “however it lands” On many lines, the biggest loss does not happen inside the multi-rip saw—it happens before it. If a cant enters:

Sawmill Yield Optimization: Multi-Rip Board Positioning Strategies That Improve Recovery and ROI The hidden cost of misalignment In sawmilling, the difference between profit and loss is often measured in millimeters. Timber is usually the largest operating cost, so lumber recovery (yield) is not a buzzword—it’s a primary business lever.

How to increase sawmill yield: where volume leaks out (and what to fix first) Yield rarely disappears in one place. It is usually a stack of small losses: a few millimeters wasted due to a bad multi-rip infeed, extra edge waste on wane, non-optimal rip patterns, kerf that is higher than it needs to be, and downtime that never shows up as “yield” but kills cost per m³.

Ripping optimization in a sawmill: how to choose widths for a multi-rip (without chaos) “Optimization” is not only for fully automated lines. In most sawmills, ripping optimization is simply the decision:

How to reduce wane waste on unedged boards: practical steps before the multi-rip Wane is one of the main reasons yield on unedged-board lines is unstable. The issue is rarely “the multi-rip is bad”. More often the issue is that boards enter the saw in random offset and angle, so even a good rip pattern is applied inconsistently.

Saw kerf vs yield: what 1 mm costs on a multi-rip line (simple math) Kerf is the “tax” you pay on every cut. On a multi-rip saw, where you make multiple cuts per board and run high volume, even a small kerf change can translate into measurable m³ over a week.

How to calculate sawmill yield (log recovery vs multi-rip yield) – formulas + example If you want to improve yield, you first need to measure it consistently. Most “yield confusion” comes from mixing different definitions: one week you count from logs, the next week you count from the multi-rip infeed, and then you compare numbers that are not comparable.

Ranking of Multi-Rip Saws for Unedged Boards (Poland/Europe) + Price Traps & TCO Sawmill owners typically search Google for phrases like: “multi rip saw for unedged boards”, “multi rip saw price”, “board edger multi rip ranking”, “twin shaft multi rip saw”, “multi rip saw reviews”. This post is a practical comparison of commercial multi-rip saws available in Poland and across Europe, focusing on cut quality, throughput, reliability, service availability, and real costs (TCO).
