The best edge glue result is single rip saw. The main reason is that there is only one single blade, and the pressure rollers can provide firm grip to the board to keep the board stay straight during ripping.

The gang rip saw takes second place. Since the movable rip saw seat can move which is more variable. This makes the edge glue effect become more difficult.

Kuang Yung Machinery’s movable rip saw arbor features in:

• Precisely made saw arbor.
• Pressure roller housing provides firm grip to the board.
• Feed chain and track with unique design.

The board can maintain straight and stable during ripping. The cut surface is smooth and without saw marks. This is the reason you can edge glue the board directly after ripping.

A. Excessive board warp or inconsistent board thickness

Boards that are excessively crooked or vary too much in thickness will bounce or squeeze against the saw blade during ripping. This creates saw marks on the edge surface and causes gaps when gluing boards together.

How to solve the issue:

• Use a double-side planer to ensure uniform thickness before ripping.
• Remove boards that are warped or too thick for the pressure roller to press firmly.

Key point: Avoid vibration during the ripping process to prevent saw marks.

B. Improper drying process causing internal stress release

Improper kiln drying can cause internal stress in the wood. During ripping, this stress is released, which can deform the board. Environmental growth factors like sunlight and uneven moisture also cause irregular fiber distribution.

As a result, the board may become curved and lose straightness after ripping.

How to solve the issue:

• Re-rip the board from both edges instead of the center to reduce deformation caused by stress release.
• Use a high-performance edge gluing machine with strong bonding strength for better joint quality.

(1) Use professional saw blades and periodically grind them.

(2) Clean and lubricate the movable saw seat properly.

(3) Daily clean and periodically preserving the track and the feed chain. The track and feed chain can run over 5 years with proper preserving.

Since 1971 Kuang Yung made the first Rip Saw has accumulated the experience of rip saw edge gluing. We know how to make cutting edge rip saws that can do board edge gluing.

Kuang Yung’s scanning system recognize the board area and shape immediately after scanning and arrange the pattern to gain the best yield.

There is no way manual operation is going to achieve it. Moreover, Kuang Yung’s unique skew function and super thin 2.6 mm saw blades can increases 2~3 % of the board yield with these two features.

1. Operators do not need to precisely position the board at the edging station.
2. The scanner rip saw eliminates the need for fence movement.
3. Joystick operation is unnecessary, saving substantial setup time.

It features a 3-zone continuous workflow that combines board feeding, scanning calibration, and sawing simultaneously:

Three-zone process:

• 1st Area – Preloading Zone: Place the board in advance.
• 2nd Area – Scanning Zone: Laser calibration confirms cut position precisely.
• 3rd Area – Saw Feeding Zone: While the current board is being ripped, the next board is scanned and fed.

This streamlined process significantly increases production efficiency and reduces downtime.

All the rip saws of Kuang Yung are qualified with CE certificate. No worries about safety. Also, the operator position is not at the kickback area when combining Kuang Yung’s cross infeed table, Quick Rip or Skew which can make sure the operator’s safety.

18~22 cubic meters per day according to operator’s proficiency when ripping one inch thick, 100 mm wide , 3-meter long boards.

10~12 cubic meters per day according to operator’s proficiency when ripping one inch thick, 100 mm wide , 3-meter long boards.
