Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneously orienting and positioning first and second different boards, and for feeding the first and second boards along first and second saw axes, respectively, into at least one saw feeds sets of at least two boards at a time to increase the piece rate, while orienting and positioning each board individually to increase the yield rate. A lateral feed mechanism displaces the boards in laterally to a staging area. A first pair of movable stops cooperatively and independently moves to orient and position the first board axis parallel with a first alignment axes. Similarly, a second pair of movable stops cooperatively and independently moves to orient and position the second board axis parallel with a second alignment axes. A moveable displacement arm moves in the lateral direction between the staging area and a feed area for engaging and simultaneously displacing the boards together from the staging area to the feed area.
