Abstract: An improved method and arrangement for increasing the yield in the production of edge glued laminations for the manufacture of edge glued laminated panels from thin timber. The edge glued laminations are manufactured from planed boards with residual waney edge by longitudinal sawing on an edging line including an upper and lower inlet feed conveyor, and edging machine and an upper and lower outlet feed conveyor, the edging machine preferably including a number of saw blades which are laterally adjustable, and the feed conveyors including endless belts of reinforced rubber 5-10 mm thick, having an underside provided with longitudinal channels with a width of 2-10 mm and a depth of 2-10 mm, the feed conveyors running on a number of tracked rollers adapted to the belts. An edge glued laminated panel based on varying lamination widths manufactured according to the method is also described.
