Summary: Over one-third of a million board feet of southern oak logs was recently timed and tallied by the United States Forest Service through 8 sawmills located in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Half of these mills were equipped with a band and resaw, and half had only a single band saw. No quarter sawing was done during the test, so that the output from each group of mills should be comparable, except as influenced by the use of a resaw. The tests showed that the addition of a resaw to a single band mill increases the output 70%, and results in a decreased mill labor cost.
