Efficiency With the Cornell Gang Saw


Our Cornell gang saw allows us to handle a wide range of lumber-cutting needs directly at our Gibsonburg, OH, facility. This capability provides us with unique advantages:

Versatile Cutting:

  • The Cornell gang saw gives us the flexibility to cut lumber into various sizes, tailored to your specific needs.
  • We can quickly adapt to custom requirements without relying on third-party mills, reducing lead times and improving order fulfillment.

Speed & Precision:

  • By processing lumber in-house, we eliminate delays that competitors often face when waiting for precut materials.
  • The gang saw ensures precise cuts every time, maintaining the accuracy needed for consistent pallet production.

The Process – From Cants to Custom Lumber

Our saw line process begins with the arrival of raw materials in the form of cants—large, uncut blocks of wood. Here’s how we turn those cants into high-quality lumber:

Step 1: Processing Cants

  • Cants are fed through the Cornell gang saw, which cuts them into specific sizes based on the needs of each pallet order.
  • The result is custom-sized boards and runners that are ready for the next stage of production.

Step 2: Hand Stacking for Quality

  • Once cut, the lumber is carefully hand-stacked onto staging pallets, ensuring it remains secure and protected during transit to the next phase.
  • This hands-on approach helps us maintain high standards of quality throughout the process.

Step 3: Notching for 4-Way Pallets

  • For pallets that require 4-way entry, the lumber is directed to a notching machine. This machine cuts precise notches into the runners, allowing forklifts to access the pallets from all sides, making handling more efficient.
