Wood is cut by many different things and in many varied ways, any sharp implement or device will achieve a cutting, some of the more common devices are Axes, Saws, Shears, within just these 3 there can be hundreds of different varieties among them.

The types of cuts (the most common ones used) made by saws for commercial use are:

Through and through:

This cut is the most economical, it produces plain-sawn, rift-sawn and a few quarter-sawn boards

Quarter-sawn is the most expensive and wasteful, yet produces the most stable and beautiful figured wood.

In short 3 different milling cuts are:

1: Through and through/Plain-sawn

2: Rift-sawn

3: Quarter-sawn
