摘要

The commercial feasibility of sawmilling mainly depends on the expected production yield. At the same time, the choice of sawing method is one of primary factors affecting yield. Therefore, choosing a reasonable sawing method is also necessary in small-diameter logs sawing process. In this study, a novel sawing method was proposed, and a comparison was made between the volume yield for the most common sawing method in China, and the yield produced by a novel sawing method. This study shows that hexagon sawing give higher yield than the other sawing methods. The mean yield for the whole diameter range is: 82.7 % for hexagon sawing, 53.3 % for live sawing, 56.7 % for hexagon sawing, 63.2 % for hexagon sawing.
