Why you should use a toe board with tapered logs on a sawmill
Here I talk about the geometry and mechanics of using a toe board with tapered logs on a sawmill to reduce waste, increase yield, and improve lumber quality. Then I'll show a low cost way to setup a toe board with a scissor lift jack. We'll close out by sawing some southern yellow pine.
Here are some links to inexpensive scissor lift jacks on Amazon.
