The Valley Junior Edger

Valley machine Works Ltd designed and developed the incomparable Valley Junior Edger, the ideal companion for portable sawmills. This machine has proven so productive and reliable it has become the edger of choice for the successful portable sawmill owner.

The Junior Edger shares the configuration and many of the features of our renowned high production edgers. It is rugged, reliable, and precisely aligned during manufacture to ensure accurate lumber is always produced.

The Junior Edger has the best set works in the business. It's easy to set, both in 1/4 inch and 10mm increments. The rack and pinion shifter eliminates the inaccuracy and jamming problems on machines with cross chain setworks. The sealed ball bearing in the shifting arm needs no lubrication and eliminates saw collar play.

This machine is loaded with safety features. It has an industrial grade safety switch (kill switch) and a limit switch on the cover. All moving parts are well guarded, and there's a full width set of kickback fingers. There's even an exhaust stack (with rain cap) to keep fumes away from operator.

The Junior Edger hauls easily and is quick to set up on its leveling jacks. The 20 HP Honda gas motor gives excellent fuel economy. The Junior Edger ships complete with saws and battery, ready to work.
