Linck equipped sawmill - Gebruder Hosenfeld 

Diese Mühle schneidet Kiefer, Lärche, Douglasie und Fichte.

Linck has always preferred to have a flat face on the bottom to work against the forces of the profiling action. In the first pass, the bottom of the log is still rounded. I can envision that if there is a protrusion on the bottom of the log, the log will rock from the forces of the first canter chipping the vertical faces on each side. Those faces would not be affected by such an occurrence, but trying to profile and have that happen sounds like trouble. I hope this helps. If I were operating the mill, I would do some tests to see if, and under what conditions, profiling on the first pass caused any problems.

@@billcraig Thanks Bill!

@@billcraig Just wondering how much this mill produces a shift (how many hours a shift) Thanks!

Die Dorne drehen sich in die gleiche Richtung. Die obere Säge schneidet gegen den Holzfluss und die untere Laube schneidet mit dem Holzfluss.

Alles klar. Wo ich arbeite ich muss beide sagen gegen holzfluss einstelen.

This section from about 1:40 to1:43 is a top-down view of the multi-function infeed to the canter. The log is being turned to the proper orientation for maximum recovery as determined by the Linck optimization software working with the data of the 3-D scanner which has determined the true shape of the log. See this video for an animation of the process ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gs5sgWg8HI8.html
