N2 - The preliminary mill trials at a Southern OSB mill where the effects of temperature and knife angle on fines generation was examined were discussed. The research demonstrated that fines generation could be reduced at OSB flakers by adjusting sharpness angles as ambient temperature varies. Many wood and flaker knife factors contributed to the generation of fines in OSB mill trials such as wood moisture content, wood temperature, wood density, log geometry, knife angle and knife hardness. The results indicated that strong linear relationships existed between the previous day's ambient temperature and fines generation for knife angles of 26 and 29 degrees.
