From high-speed optimized linear systems to combination and manual models, McDonough edgers maximize board recovery for hardwood and softwood mills. Our OptiFit linear design is a leading choice among modern hardwood operations for its yield and short payback.

Double-column, Air‑Strain bandmills range from 54″ to 96″ throat, featuring cartridge-type pressure guides, cast iron wheels, hydraulic lifts, saw cleaning systems, and heavy-duty construction. These mills consistently outperform legacy competition.

We offer everything from classic Linebar and Center‑Split models to high-speed automated headrigs and modular horizontals. Includes computerized setworks, operator cabs, and high-speed infeeds built for modern production lines.

Available in 36″, 42″, and 48″ openings, McDonough carriages come with features like slanted beds, UHMW cant kickers, manual and chain turners, computerized setworks, and cab options—designed for precision and low maintenance.

Engineered for maximum yield, our gang edgers include curve‑sawing configurations for crooked hardwood logs and thin‑kerf models for softwood production—plus combo units that handle both boards and cants in one frame.

From transfer decks to the MAXX Resaw Infeed—the fastest linebar feed in the industry—our engineered material handling systems support McDonough equipment or retrofits of other brands, improving mill flow and throughput.
