Wood-Mizer presents the EG350 board edger, a high-performance machine that maximises sawmill productivity by combining edger and multirip functions.
Designed for efficiency and precision, the EG350 increases output and profitability while ensuring accurate board edging.
Precision & flexibility
The EG350 removes rough board edges with a cutting capacity of 100mm thick and 550mm wide, with a maximum cutting width of 420mm between blades. It offers two operating modes:
- Edger mode: one fixed and one movable blade for precise trimming
- Multirip mode: up to five blades on a special sleeve with spacers for custom cuts. Blades are easily changed through the side cover.
For maximum accuracy, an optional laser alignment system with two lasers (fixed and adjustable) ensures consistent cuts. Operators can also use manual measurement scales above the infeed slot.
Efficient material handling
The modular infeed and outfeed roller tables extend to accommodate longer cants (each module: 1.8 meters). The double roller infeed system allows smooth feeding of material up to 100mm thick. A pivot-mounted 200mm roller on the outfeed ensures easy handling of thick cants. The powered feed system (2-20 m/min) optimizes cutting speed based on wood type and conditions.
Power & safety
The EG350 is powered by an 18.5 kW (25 HP) or 22 kW (30 HP) motor. A remote-control panel provides easy operation, including an emergency stop switch, blade adjustment buttons, and a power feed potentiometer. For operator safety, the EG350 features anti-kickback fingers, an electric interlock on the top cover, and dust extraction outlets to keep the workspace clean.
An essential sawmill investment
With precision cutting, modular handling, and safety features, the Wood-Mizer EG350 is a game-changer for sawmills looking to increase yield, reduce waste, and boost efficiency.
