Can anyone here explain to me hands off, no touch scaling at the mill?
A local mill around here has gone to this. No more scalers, They are going total hands of milling, the only thing a person touches are buttons, control boards and levers to make machines work. How does this work? How do they account for defect or any of the other things a scaler used to do?
All I now is, not one good thing has been heard about this new process. the only thing the drivers get is an off-load number, mill numbers aren't lining up with anyone else's numbers, lots of bad blood starting to come about over this. Best thing for the mill is they're the only game within reasonable distance.
A few have heard of this process, most, including me have not. How in the world can you scale a log with out hands or eyeballs?
