EG350 Wood-Mizer Multirip Board Edger
The Wood-Mizer EG350 board edger is a powerful, dual-function machine designed to boost sawmill productivity by combining edging and multirip capabilities. Built on proven designs, the EG350 maximizes yield from each log, offering efficiency and precision.
The EG350 can process cants up to 100 mm thick and 550 mm wide, delivering a maximum cutting width of 420 mm between blades. This enhanced capacity allows for handling larger material, setting it apart from smaller models. The EG350 can be used in one of these modes: Edging Mode – Equipped with two blades (400 mm diameter), one fixed and one movable, for edging rough boards to the desired width. Multirip Mode – Up to five blades can be mounted on a special sleeve with spacers that adjust the width of the final product. Blade spacers are available in various widths and can be customized upon request. The infeed mechanism features a double roller system for handling multiple thicknesses. The lower roller handles material up to 65 mm thick, while the upper roller accommodates between 65-100 mm. Adjustable bumpers allow the operator to preset roller height, ensuring smoother feeding, especially when dealing with cants of consistent thickness. On the outfeed side, a 200 mm diameter roller on a pivoted bracket facilitates easier cant feeding by reducing manual effort. The powered feed (2-20 m/min) helps to maintain the optimal speed of the material that enters the machine, depending on the wood species and cutting conditions. Four powered rollers inside feed the material and press it down for increased cutting stability. The EG350 has two rows of anti-kickback fingers, which protect the operator from accidental splinters that might be thrown out inside the machine. The EG350 features an optional laser alignment system with one fixed and one adjustable laser to ensure precise cuts. A scale (metric and imperial) is included above the infeed slot for manual measurements. Its modular roller tables (each 1.8 meters) simplify material handling and can be extended. One infeed table is standard, with additional modules available. Powered by an 18.5 kW or 22 kW motor, the EG350 easily handles thick hardwoods. Underneath the machine, there’s a sawdust box that can collect dust from three sides. The box is designed to work with a universal, efficient dust extraction system. The mobile operator panel allows users to place it near the machine conveniently. It features an emergency stop, a switch to toggle between manual and Setworks modes, and two additional buttons for blade movement and width adjustment in manual mode. The panel includes simple and efficient Setworks that automatically adjust cutting width.
