38mm or 50mm thickness. The boards are then sent off to the
automatic rip saw where laser technology is used to
determine the best cutting method to be used, thus ensuring
maximum board utilisation and minimum wastage. At this
point, the boards have been planed and cut to various sizes,
and all that remains is to cut each board to the longest
possible stock length according to the SATAS specifications.
The boards are cut to lengths from 900mm to 6 600mm,
generally in 300mm increments. After all the cuts have been
made the timber is visually and/or stress graded and stamped
to SATAS specification, then bundled and strapped by size
and length, and finally the timber is safely transported to the
proud new owner. Selati sells and distributes timber all over
