We've been happy with Wood-Mizer service and saws so the LT70 is the logical choice as we look to increase production.

 With the most advanced hydraulics and turbo-charged power options,
the LT70 is the fastest, most functional portable mill available for the
professional sawyer. Hydraulic loading arms, a pair of hydraulic roller
toeboards, and a hydraulic log clamp are standard features for this
mill. Its unique hydraulic chain log turner is nearly twice as fast as
standard steel-claw turners and moves in both directions for added
convenience.
Accuset 2 and AutoClutch features are also standard. The
LubeMizer™ feature, along with airbag blade tensioning, offers better
blade performance and extends blade life. An optional 62 HP CAT®
diesel engine can boost productivity by up to 25%.
For stationary sawing environments, our industrial material handling
system is available which includes a log infeed deck, an inclined
conveyor, and a transfer table. A trailer
package is also standard for the LT70.
Exclusively for the LT70, an optional movable remote operator
station allows the sawyer to place the control console anywhere
within 6' around the mill, providing unlimited views of the log or cant.
The console houses all sawhead and log-handling controls. |

| LOG HANDLING |
 |
|
Hydraulic Roller Toeboards
Extra-wide roller toeboards compensate for log taper and allow easy log positioning. |
|
 |
|
Hydraulic Loading Arms
Logs can be loaded in seconds with the throw of a lever. Each arm features a self-leveling, heavy-duty cylinder. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Hydraulic Log Clamp
Special two-plane clamping system simplifies sawing of stressed logs. Cuts as close as 1" from the bed are possible. |
|
 |
|
Hydraulic Chain Turner
Turning a log or cant for the next cut is easy… just move a lever on the control box. Chain turner works twice as fast as standard steel claw turner — and moves in either direction! |
