Lumber Sawing

Professional Lumber Sawing Services: Custom Ripping, Re-Sawing & Precision Cutting

Finding lumber in exact dimensions for manufacturing, construction, or woodworking projects is apersistent challenge. Standard lumber dimensions rarely match specific project requirements,forcing companies to purchase oversized material and waste valuable time, money, and wood onsecondary processing. Western Lumber Company eliminates this inefficiency by deliveringprecisely dimensioned lumber ready for your immediate application.

Whether you need custom widths for architectural millwork, thickness-reduced stock for furniturecomponents, or precision-cut lengths for door manufacturing, our professional sawing servicesprovide the exact specifications you require. With industrial-grade equipment, experienced
operators, and strict quality control, we deliver tolerances and consistency that are impossible toachieve with standard shop equipment.

Precision Ripping (Width Cutting)

Ripping cuts lumber to custom widths along the grain using straight-line rip saws or gang rip saws.This service is essential for millwork, flooring, custom trim, and any application requiring specificwidths not available in standard dimensions. Our straight-line rip saws handle single-piece cuttingwith exceptional precision, while gang rip saws process multiple boards simultaneously for high-volume production.

Re-sawing (Thickness Reduction)

Re-sawing cuts lumber through its thickness to create thinner pieces, often producing two or moreboards from a single piece of thicker stock. This technique is invaluable for bookmatching,creating matched lumber sets, producing custom veneers, and maximizing yield from premium orfigured wood. Our thin-kerf bandsaws minimize material loss during the cutting process.

Crosscutting (Length Cutting)

Crosscutting trims lumber to precise lengths across the grain. While simpler than ripping or re-sawing, our professional crosscutting offers accuracy and consistency difficult to achieve withstandard shop equipment. Automated crosscut saws with digital positioning systems ensure squarecuts and exact lengths repeatedly across large production runs.
