Potential for Yield Improvement in Combined Rip-First and Crosscut-First Rough Mill Processing

Traditionally, lumber cutting systems in rough mills have either first ripped lumber into wide strips and then crosscut the resulting strips into component lengths (rip-first), or first crosscut the lumber into component lengths, then ripped the segments to the required widths (crosscut-first). Each...
