Small Sawmills: A Pocket Guide

USDA Agriculture handbook No. 70. "Small sawmills play an important part in the harvesting of our timber crop. If properly installed and maintained, they can be an important asset in the general progress toward more efficient utilization of our forests. For many years, the Forest Products Laboratory has studied ways to improve the efficiency of small sawmills. This guide, based on the results of these studies, is intended to serve as a handy reference for the operators, foremen, and workers of small mills. It contains suggestions for setting up a mill, keeping it in good condition, and increasing its output -- thereby leading to the more efficient utilization of wood."
