In a components plant, particularly in the context of framing and trusses, a lumber catcher is responsible for catching or handling wood materials as they come off of saws or cutting machines. The role typically involves:

Receiving and Stacking Lumber: The lumber catcher ensures that cut pieces of wood are properly collected, organized, and stacked in the correct order for further processing or transport.

Quality Control: They may inspect the lumber for any defects or irregularities that could affect the final product, discarding or flagging pieces that don’t meet quality standards.

Assisting the Saw Operator: They help the saw operator by clearing cut pieces from the saw area, ensuring a smooth workflow and preventing the machine from becoming cluttered or blocked.

Organizing Materials for Assembly: Once the lumber is cut to specification, the catcher helps organize the materials to ensure the right pieces go to the correct areas for building components like trusses or frames.
