What happens here
The Wood-Mizer LT40 features a 'Simple Set' computer system. This digital interface allows you to program specific cut sizes for your lumber. You can input desired dimensions (e.g., 1-inch boards, 2x4s) and the system will automatically lower the saw head by the precise amount needed for each successive cut. This greatly simplifies the milling process, ensuring consistent board thickness without manual measurements for every cut. The system allows for setting two different programs for varied lumber production.
Goal: Program and execute precise, repeatable cuts using the sawmill's digital interface.
