Saw mills are machines where logs are processed and cut into smaller boards. Its basic operation starts when the log enters in one end before it goes to the other as a high quality board or dimensional lumber. This process is not possible without other important steps. Before they go into the machines, the logs are taken by a truck to the saw mill. They are weighed then decked to sort the logs by size and end use. All irregular edges are removed from the four corners of the log. It is then dried to remove moisture. Look into the different machines used in saw mills.
