Cutting The Log
blade before returning the cutting head for the next cut.
8. Repeat until the first side of the log is cut as desired. Set aside the usable flitches (boards
with bark on one or both sides).You can edge them on the mill later.
9. Remove the leveling wedge if it was used. Release the clamps and turn the log 90 or 180
degrees. Make sure the flat on the log is placed flat against side supports if turned 90
degrees. Make sure it is placed on bed rails if turned 180 degrees. If the log was turned
90 degrees and you are using the wedge to compensate for taper in the log, use the
wedge again to adjust the heart of the log parallel with the bed.
10. Repeat the steps used to cut the first side of the log until the log is square. Cut boards
from the remaining cant.
Example: Remember that the blade cuts a 1/16 - 1/8" (1.6 - 3.2 mm) wide kerf. If you
want 1" (25 mm) thick boards, lower the carriage 1 1/16 - 1 1/8" (27 - 29 mm) for each
board.
