Edg′er.

A circular saw or pair of circular saws by which the bark and “waney” portions are ripped from slab-boards or boards made by ripping logs through and through, without squaring.

A double-edger has one permanent saw and one capable of regulation as to distance from the former one, so as to adapt the pair of saws to edge boards of varying width.
