Twin blade board edger. Squares both edges in one pass after the mill.

Description

The twin blade board edger from NorthForest takes a rough board off the mill and squares both edges in one pass. Because bark edges cut the value of lumber, you get a clean board you can stack, dry, or sell. This machine sits after the mill. It is not a lawn tool and not a firewood processor.

First, set the movable blade to the width you want. Then feed the board. One blade stays fixed. The other slides. Therefore both wane edges come off together. In addition, you are not walking the same board past a single blade twice. As a result, width stays consistent from board to board.

Why this twin blade board edger

A mill makes the face. An edger makes the width. After the cut on a band mill, the board still has bark on the sides. So you still need this unit if you want square lumber. However, it will not saw a log into boards. Instead, it only edges what the mill already cut.

How it works

One circular blade is fixed. The second circular blade moves to the finished width. Feed rollers carry the board through. Meanwhile you keep hands off the infeed. After the pass, you have two clean edges and a board you can sticker. In other words, one pass replaces two single-blade runs.
