Rough Surface
The stem’s cutting surface is in general rougher during the use of a gang saw, than a circular saw. Under certain circumstances, cutting with the gang saw can lead to a rougher surface of the stem, which might be too rough to ensure economic further processing.
Possible causes:
The gang saw is set unevenly- Dismantlement and repair (re-set of teeth)
- Dismantlement and repair (re-sharpening a/o new stellite tips)
- Re-sharpening of the gang saw
- Sawmill needs to check and adjust the preparation of the wood
