ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for precision cutting a bundle of mill length lumber into a plurality of strapped and trimmed bundles of lumber of desired shorter length(s). The bundle of mill length lumber is placed on an elongated conveyor and moved longitudinally by means of an advancing moveable carriage until the leading edge of the bundle of lumber abuts a surface of a set work carriage positioned downstream of a circular saw which can selectively be advanced across the conveyor path. The ends of the bundle of lumber are then squared by advancing a ram on the moveable carriage. The squared bundle of lumber is banded or strapped by a banding apparatus disposed slightly upstream of the saw and thereafter the leading edge of the bundle of lumber is precision trimmed by advancing the saw across the conveyor path. After trimming, the setwork carriage is moved a distance away from the cutting plane of the saw corresponding to the desired length of cut lumber, the bundle of lumber is pushed along the conveyor path by means of the moveable carriage until its trimmed leading edge abuts the surface of the set work carriage, the bundle of lumber is again strapped by the banding apparatus and then precision cut by the saw, and the strapped bundle of lumber between the saw and the set work carriage is removed from the conveyor path in a transverse direction and preferably directly placed on a pallet. The advancing, strapping, cutting and removal steps are continued until the original bundle of mill length lumber has been cut into the desired number of strapped bundles of lumber of desired shorter length.
