This advanced system fully automates turning, fence set adjustments, gap control, and feeding, allowing operators to concentrate on cutting strategies and board grading. ### Key Advantages - **Fully Automated Operation** – Everything from turning to feeding is controlled by an advanced system, freeing your operator to focus on high-level tasks. - **Superior Yield on High-Grade Products** – Automation keeps tight tolerances and consistent settings, improving lumber recovery. - **Superior Throughput** – Higher line counts are achievable at the same feed speeds, boosting productivity and maximizing saw efficiency. - **Requires Only One Operator** – Automated feeding means fewer personnel required; more work gets done with less. - **Saw-Friendly Performance** – Optimized feed speeds reduce saw fatigue and extend blade life, maintaining production flow. - **Precision Gap Management** – PLC-controlled turning and feeding keep gap sizes minimal and uniform—even during set changes. ![Horizontal Resaw Outfeed Mike Shelton](https://www.mcdonough-mfg.com/hubfs/Horizontal%20Resaw%20Outfeed%20Mike%20Shelton.png "Horizontal Resaw Outfeed Mike Shelton") ![McDonough Manufacturing Maxx resaw controls close-up rotated](https://www.mcdonough-mfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/McDonough%20Manufacturing%20Maxx%20resaw%20controls%20close-up%20rotated.png?width=962&height=541&name=McDonough%20Manufacturing%20Maxx%20resaw%20controls%20close-up%20rotated.png "McDonough Manufacturing Maxx resaw controls close-up rotated") ### Built to Transform McDonough’s AutoMAXX Resaw builds on a legacy of innovation and trusted industry standards. It’s not just a machine, it’s a production partner that helps mills amplify quality, reduce wear, and simplify operations. Ready to raise your hardwood mill’s performance? This system is engineered with yield, automation, and operator efficiency in mind, just what high-volume operations demand.   ## Ready to Grow Your Business?
