ABSTRACT:
A method for producing rough cut lumber from small diameter poles of varying size at the pole harvest site including the steps of removing the bark from the pole, cutting longitudinal notches spaced around the periphery of the pole aligning and supporting the pole on rails disposed in these notches, shaping the pole with rotary cutting heads to form a rectangular beam while additionally supporting the pole by means of guides associated with each of the cutterheads.
Portable apparatus for producing rough cut lumber from a small diameter wood pole at the harvest site including rotary debarking knives, kerf cutting saws, support rails adapted to run in kerfs spaced around the periphery of the pole, cutterheads adapted to form the pole into rough cut lumber of rectangular cross section, each cutterhead having a planar support associated therewith. All of said wood forming tools and supports mounted on a frame and aligned along the path of travel of the pole to be processed through the apparatus, and all of said tools and supports, as well as the pole conveying means being simultaneously adjustable to process poles of varying diameter.
