What is S2S, S3S, S4S, and Re-saw?
•
S2S means two board faces are surfaced (planed) to a specified thickness.
• S3S, also known as S2S 1E, means two board faces are surfaced and one edge is straight-lined on a jointer. For wood workers
with a table saw the boards are ready to cut to width after S3S.• S4S, or Surfaced 4 Sides, means four sides are milled two faces planed, one edge straight-lined, and the 2nd edge cut on a table
saw to when the board is cut to a specific width.• S2S and S3S boards are sold by the board foot. S4S boards are sold by the lineal foot.
• Re-saw means to rip wood across the thickness, resulting in two or more thinner pieces from one board.
The bandsaw at High Desert Hardwood is capable of re-sawing wood with square edges up to 10' high.
