About This Product

START sawing with the world’s most popular LT15 sawmill series design! The LT15START portable sawmill features a cutting capacity for sawing 28" diameter logs into 26" wide boards up to 11' in length with optional 6' 8" extensions for sawing longer lengths. Built in the USA with premium quality steel and industrial-grade powder coat paint, the LT15START sawmill adds durability with a steel box bed frame and features a quick up/down sawhead, gravity-fed blade lubrication, steel side supports, steel log clamps, and optional GO trailer. Engineered for sawyers looking for a portable sawmill that is low cost, highly durable, and saws accurately, the popular LT15 sawmill series is known throughout the world for its quality, versatility and affordability.

Key Features

Large In-Class Sawing Capacity

Saw softwood and hardwood logs up to 28” in diameter with a 26” width of cut and a 10-½” depth of cut – more than enough capacity for most logs you'll come across.

Convenient Sawdust Management with Port

Keep sawdust away from the band wheels, belts, and sawmill blade with the included sawdust port.

Reliable Power with KOHLER Gas Engine

The powerful and dependable Kohler Command Pro 14HP gas engine features Quad-Clean™ all-season four-stage cyclonic air filter for effective engine protection even in tough and dirty sawing conditions. Plus, a large-capacity fuel tank means more time sawing and less time refueling.

Quick Sawhead Up/Down with Crank Handle

Quickly and accurately move the sawhead up and down to prepare for sawing with the crank handle. Easily turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise with 16 locking locations to adjust the blade depth 1” for each full rotation or 1/16” for each notch to prepare for the next cut. A quarter scale is also included for sawing 8/4”, 6/4”, 5/4”, and 4/4” lumber.

Precision Sawing with Thin-Kerf Sawmill Blades

Engage the sawmill blade with the convenient pull handle that engages the mechanical clutch. The LT15START sawmill uses 158” length sawmill blades. We recommend having at least 10 sawmill blades on hand to minimize sawing downtime when sharpening blades. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, you get the most usable lumber out of every log.

Clean Blades with Gravity-Fed Blade Lubrication

Keep the sawmill blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the gravity-fed blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade. A water tank conveniently located close to the operator is easy to refill and features an on/off valve for consistently distributing lubrication to the blade.

Extra Durable Sawmill Bed with Box Steel Rails and Cross Sections

The sawmill bed adds extra strength and durability where it counts with box steel bed rails and cross sections featuring wide top surface areas for better weight distribution and easier log handling. Each cross section is welded to the bed rails for added stability. In addition, the entire sawmill bed is painted and constructed of the same premium solid steel throughout the bed to last for years, not seasons.

Secure Logs with 1 Quick-Set Log Clamp

Constructed of strong tube steel, the quick-set log clamp tightly fastens logs for sawing and is adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. The log clamp uses an acme thread screw for better durability and a clamp point block for an extra grip on a round log or squared cant.

Support Logs with 4 Quick-Set Side Supports

Four strong steel quick-set side supports are adjustable up/down to stabilize logs on the bed during loading, turning, clamping, and sawing. Each side support is mounted directly on the bed and includes rust-resistant paint for durability. An additional built-in bed side support on each cross section eliminates the need for adjustable side supports while sawing a squared cant and allows for final cuts within 1” of the bed.

Premium Quality Manufacturing

Manufacturing the LT15START portable sawmills by the Wood-Mizer owned and operated factory in the United States provides for the best combination of premium quality equipment at a low cost to you. With decades of manufacturing experience, Wood-Mizer employees in the heart of the Midwest USA have been manufacturing high-quality Wood-Mizer equipment for global markets since 1982. Sales of parts and blades, service, and support are always available through your local Wood-Mizer representative.

Optional GO Trailer

GO completely portable by adding a GO Trailer to your LT15START portable sawmill. Complete with a durable steel frame, single axle, two wheels, two fenders, set of 6 adjustable outriggers, lights, and hitch, the GO Trailer for LT15 portable sawmills allows sawing logs directly on the trailer with the ability to easily hook-up and GO to your next sawing site. The LT15START requires an extra bed section to be compatible with a GO Trailer.

Easy Shipping and Assembly

The LT15START portable sawmill ships on a single pallet, comes with one Wood-Mizer sawmill blade, and requires minimal assembly time so you can start sawing within a few hours of receiving your sawmill.
