How to Ensure Accurate Cuts With Your Lumber Saw

The process of handling lumber packages in lumber mills can be quite challenging. However, a Verticut machine requiring only one operator can enable an efficient package cut-off process with accuracy and precision – and all in as little as 55 seconds per cycle. At L-M Equipment Co., Inc., we are your source for lumber saws that produce swift and accurate cutting results.

Producing Accurate Lumber Saw Cuts

Making accurate cuts with an L-M Vertcut 2000 or Yard Saw requires the operator to invest some dedicated effort and time. By following the user manual instruction closely, however, you can produce accurate cuts.

Some tips to ensure accurate cuts with a lumber saw like the Verticut 2000 include:

• Prepare you lumber saw properly to ensure cut quality, including supports and strapping.
• Periodically sharpen the saw chain – every 400 cuts with a carbide chain or every 75 cuts otherwise.
• Per L-M Equipment manual instructions, properly align the saw head. We can help you achieve the high precision levels you need for proper alignment. Improper alignment can lead to subpar quality cuts.
• Add lubrication to the saw bar and chain as needed to avoid a hot-running saw that can damage the saw and chain and require costly repairs.
• Employ the proper cut speed when executing lumber cuts. It should take around 60 seconds to completely cut a full unit of lumber.
• Adjust the chain grind angles as needed to enhance cut quality. We can explain to you how to do this.
• Send us your saw bar for any needed repairs

Cutting accuracy is important when it comes to any equipment or package cut-off saws we offer. The Verticut 2020 we offer provides a +/- 0.04 inch cutting tolerance which enables the desired speed and efficiency of cuts.

Also, for higher efficiency and less waste, we offer the Verticut saw with a thin chainsaw blade that includes only a 3/8 kerf.
