ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The width of a piece of timber, such as a board is measured with a device including a laser tube emitting a laser beam to be reflected by a rotatable mirror polyhedron and a para- bolic reflector into a direction along the board, mirror rasters being provided at intervals along the board so as to reflect laser beam pulses onto the board, each raster including a group of mirrors reflecting the beam pulses onto spots of the board that are spaced apart laterally across the board, and detecting means being provided for receiving the pulses reflected from the board surface in order to obtain information about the board width. Preferably, the pulses received by the detectors are transferred to a computer which calculates, in a manner known per se, the optimal sawing width for the board. Instead of the reflector, lens means may be used for directing the beam along the board.
