How to increase sawmill yield: where volume leaks out (and what to fix first)
How to increase sawmill yield: where volume leaks out (and what to fix first) Yield rarely disappears in one place. It is usually a stack of small losses: a few millimeters wasted due to a bad multi-rip infeed, extra edge waste on wane, non-optimal rip patterns, kerf that is higher than it needs to be, and downtime that never shows up as “yield” but kills cost per m³.
