These settings are approved to permit each piece of timber to be graded as if it is two pieces of timber of smaller widths. The timber is subsequently cut lengthwise into two pieces with the correct grade marked on each piece. This requires the machine to have the appropriate software, and the timber sizes before and after grading, to be as required by that software.
