Exhaust fan for CBN sharpening machine

Rough spruce lumber
The term rough lumber generally refers to fully dimension lumber. Let’s use 2×4’s as an example. While this size lumber at the big box stores are measured at 1.5×3.5 inches, it’s generally called a “2×4”. Why? Well, there are historical reasons, but for now the simple answer is because when the board comes off the mill, it is 2 x 4 inches in size, after which it is planed on 4 sides and dried, thus reducing its dimensions. The lumber produced from this log is double rough, and I’ll explain why.

A bit cooler this January Tuesday. -11ºC with the wind chill. Just warm enough at the start of the afternoon to get out and spend the day sawmilling. With sharp blades, big logs and two people, the work seems to cruise right along.
