The best Edger for medium capacity Mills is one that will handle all med- ium sized cants that come through, that will operate with little power, that will take up a minimum of floor space and that is built strong enough to handle the work fast and continu- ously.

You will agree with this definition We build up-to-date Saw Mill Machinery for Mills of every capacity—Circular or Band. Write for Catalogue The Waterous New Champion Edger Combines All These Features It is built with 40", 48" and 56" working opening, to carry as many as four movable and two stationary-saws, and will take all sized cants up to 6 inches. The saw mandrel is 37/g" diameter, saw collars 6", and saws 22" in diameter. This leaves 8" of saw above the collar—plenty of margin to allow saw to clear itself in a 6" cant. Saws are shifted by straight line levers; they can be approached within 2 of the stationary saws, and will approach each other within the same distance. To space them absolutely accurately, a steel setting gauge operated by foot tread from the front of the machine, drops over the guides and automatically crowds them into correct position and holds them there without shift. This is a Waterous feature. Four chain driven feed rolls and four heavy press rolls handle the stock safely and easily. All boxes are fitted to require little attention. The feed rolls and mandrel drive is simple and positive and requires little power. The edger is built compact and strong of selected materials, and tested before leaving the shop.
