Watching a machine grade lumber at the Eugene mill made me rethink my whole shop setup
Last month I toured the mill up in Eugene with my brother in law and watched a scanner read a board and flip it to the best face in under a second, and it hit me that I'd been doing the same thing by eye for 12 years. I came home and started logging how long I spend choosing cuts, and it came out to almost an hour a day on a good day. I'm not trying to buy some big rig for a one man shop, but now I catch myself wondering if a cheap camera and some basic vision software could sort my shorts bin. Has anyone here cobbled together a small setup for grading or sorting stock without sinking a car payment into it?
