Edgers & Combination Edgers
An edger works behind the sawmill. A board cut off the log still carries the rounded edge of the log. Laid flat and run through an edger, the rounded edge comes off each side and what comes out is a rectangular, uniform board.
An edger also takes larger material and splits it, turning one bigger piece into two. A combination edger does both: it edges boards and cants, and breaks a bigger block down on the far side, producing multiple boards in a single pass.
Pendu does not sell a price book edger. Every edger is built to fit the operation it's going into, which is why no two are the same.
The starting point is the narrowest and widest board you need to edge. From there, width, height, and horsepower are set to the material and the production rate you're holding.
Width: Built from 28” to 66”, sized to your material.
Height: Built in 4”, 6”, 7”, 8”, and 10” heights, to handle material up to the size you're running.
Horsepower: Motors from 50 to 300 horsepower, sized to the speed you need to hold.
Third Saw Blade: An option for breaking cants in half on the same pass.
Combination Edger: Takes a larger block through and produces multiple boards in one pass, rather than edging boards alone.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a board edger and a combination edger?
A board edger squares up boards and cants. A combination edger does that and also takes a larger block through, breaking it down into multiple boards on the same pass.
Can you add a third saw blade to break cants in half?
Yes. That's one of the first questions we ask when configuring an edger.
Do you sell a standard edger?
No. Every edger is built to fit the operation it's going into.
What kind of support can I expect after installation?
Pendu is based in New Holland, PA. When you call, you reach people who know the equipment. Reach out for parts, troubleshooting, or with service questions. See our After-Purchase Support page for more information.
Not Seeing What You Need?
Tell us the boards you're running, whether you need a third blade to break cants in half, and whether you're looking to take a larger block through in one pass. Pendu doesn't build a catalog edger. Each edger is built to the operation it's going into, and if what you need falls outside what's described here, that's a conversation worth having with us directly.
