ROYAL BOARD SAW MILL ( PARAPPADY FURNITURE TIMBER& SAW MILL )

A sawmill is a facility where logs are cut into boards.

Sawmill process

A sawmill's basic operation is much like those of hundreds of years ago; a log enters on one end and dimensional lumber exits on the other end.

Logging fells the trees, and log bucking cuts them to length. Logs are taken by truck, rail or river to the sawmill. Logs are scaled either on the way to the mill or upon arrival at the mill. Decking is the process for sorting the logs by species, size and end use (lumber, plywood, chips). Debarking removes bark from the logs. The head saw, head rig or primary saw, breaks the log into cants (unfinished logs to be further processed) and flitches (unfinished planks) with a smooth edge. Depending upon the species and quality of the log, the cants will either be further broken down by a resaw or a gang edger into multiple flitches and/or boards Edging will take the flitch and trim off all irregular edges leaving four-sided lumber. Trimming squares the ends at typical lumber lengths. Drying removes naturally occurring moisture from the lumber. This can be done with kilns or air-dried. Planing smooths the surface of the lumber leaving a uniform width and thickness. Shipping transports the finished lumber to market.
