Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the straightness of a lumber cut. A transit type of precision telescope is positioned to view in a vertical sweep plane essentially parallel to that of the cut surface of the timber stock on the log carriage. A hand held scale is placed against the cut surface with a constant, spring controlled force in a plurality of positions distributed over the cut surface. The scale is read by the telescope in each position and the readings compared to determine the degree of straightness of the saw cut.
