ABSTRACT:
A processing system for processing logs having a curvature into lumber pieces. The system has a cutting station including a saw box with a chipper and a vertical arbor saw mounted to the saw box. The saw box is movable upwardly and downwardly and angularly for tilting. The movement of the saw box orients the chipper relative to the log and provides the capability of the saw to follow a curved saw path. A scanner scans the log and a computer processes the scan data to determine the optimum saw path.
