Abstract
The invention relates to a method for cutting a log into pieces. The log is cut into pieces with at least two nearly diametrical cuts (S , S ), where the outermost lie essentially symmetrically around the pith of the stock. Each so-obtained plank is edged (S , S ) with the outer side as a reference for the trimming direction. Two planks are formed through a cut (S , S ) being placed near to the pith essentially parallel with each edged outer side. The cutting is performed on the outermost part of the log with the alignment cut (S , S ) essentially parallel with the nearly diametrical cuts (S , S ) preferably in the same operation as the cutting into pieces with the nearly diametrical cuts. Each block with the alignment cut (S , S ) is conveyed through at least one twin-bladed saw, the cuts of which are inclined with respect to the base surface of the block, for example 30° and cut essentially radially symmetrically around the position of the pith. This can be performed twice with different inclinations in a twin-bladed saw.
