STS Technical Info
Yield Gain Visualized
Fixed Width Input Example
The following case study is as an example of the added value by running premium thin kerf STS blades for high-volume ripping applications. The following data is based on an application with an undisclosed current customer
MDF Dip-Chain Gang Saw
Producing 1 1/8” Style & Rails Squares
Rips are face glued directly from ripped edge
The following section highlights the yield gains for this example application. Both the input board width and the output (slat width) remain unchanged with the improved setup. As highlighted with the improved setup, two additional slats are produced. This is done without sacrificing any stiffness and strength using Integral Flange Technology with our Yield Saver Pro tooling.
