Mill Rough-sawn Lumber

What happens here

The rough-sawn ash boards are first cross-cut to a manageable, approximate length using a miter saw. Following this, each board is passed through a jointer (specifically a Ridgid jointer is visible) to create one perfectly flat face and one perfectly square edge. After jointing, the boards are fed through a planer (a Ridgid planer is seen) to mill the opposite face to a uniform thickness, resulting in smooth, dimensionally accurate lumber ready for further processing.

Goal: Rough-sawn ash boards are cut to approximate length, then jointed on one face and one edge, and finally planed to achieve consistent thickness and smooth surfaces.
