Charge ahead with the future of sawmilling with the LT15WIDE Battery-Powered portable sawmill! The industry"s first battery-powered portable sawmill gives sawyers an alternative power choice which is environmentally friendly and delivers consistent, reliable, and high-quality sawing performance in all weather conditions. Packed with power, groundbreaking features, and technology to optimize sawing performance, the LT15WIDE Battery-Powered portable sawmill features four to six rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, up to 8-hour run time with a 4 to 6-hour charge time, powered up/down/forward/reverse, patent-pending Smart Feed™ technology, advanced head return, quick-program setworks, and more for the modern sawyer. Similar to the widely popular LT15WIDE gas, diesel, and electric portable sawmills, the LT15WIDE Battery-Powered portable sawmill features the widest in-class cutting capacity for sawing 36" diameter logs into 35-1/2" wide boards up to 17" 8" in length with optional 6" 8" extensions for sawing longer lengths. An optional GO Trailer allows sawing logs directly on the trailer with the ability to easily hook-up and GO to your next sawing site.
Four to Six Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries
The sawmill comes standard with four rechargeable lithium-ion batteries but can run on up to five or six batteries. Each battery weighs 21 pounds, has a 1.4 kWh capacity, and is covered by a 5-year warranty.
Up to 8-Hour Run Time with 4 to 6-Hour Charging
Fully-charged batteries can run the sawmill an estimated 8 hours, depending on the wood species and sawing conditions. The included 6-battery charging base allows sawyers to charge 4 batteries in under 4 hours, 5 batteries in under 5 hours, 6 batteries in under 6 hours, and is compatible with a standard wall outlet connection.
Smart Feed™ Technology
The patent-pending Smart Feed™ gauges the mill’s performance and makes automatic adjustments to optimize sawing performance. When enabled, the Smart Feed™ calculates the best feed speed for the head while sawing based on species and blade sharpness. The Smart Feed™ continuously monitors the amperage while sawing and will speed up or slow down the feed rate for best performance.
Powered Up/Down with Quick-Program Setworks
Quickly and accurately position the sawmill blade for the next cut with powered up/down controls. The quick-program setworks saves pre-set board thicknesses to control blade height while referencing quickly and accurately from the previous cut allowing the sawyer to repetitively cut the same thickness of board. In addition, there are 3 independent libraries within the setworks that allow the sawyer to hold up to 13 board thicknesses within each library for creating custom cutting programs.
Powerful and Efficient Drive Motor
The main drive motor powered by the batteries is rated for continuous duty at 10HP and will increase to a maximum output of 18.75 HP dependent on sawing requirements.
Weather-Resistant Battery Compartment
The IP67 battery compartment is air-tight and weather resistant to protect batteries from dust and moisture, allowing sawyers to mill, rain or shine. Battery changes are easy with the one-piece battery cover that is secured by one fastener. To remove batteries, simply open the compartment, charge the batteries, and insert the batteries to begin sawing.
Wide In-Class Sawing Capacity
The LT15WIDE features the widest in-class sawing capacity for milling 36” diameter logs with a 35-1/2” max width of cut. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, you can be confident that you will get the most lumber out of your logs.
Operator Presence Control and Blade Engage
Easily engage the sawmill blade by holding down the operator presence control button and pressing the blade engage switch.
Hydraulic Blade Tensioning
Keep your sawmill blades properly tensioned for longer blade life and enhanced sawing performance with hydraulic blade tensioning and hydraulic gauge.
Adjustable Blade Guide Arm
Reduce blade travel and support the blade when sawing narrow and wide material with the adjustable blade guide arm.
Auto-Flow Blade Lubrication
Keep the blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the auto-flow blade lubrication. When the sawmill blade is engaged, water automatically applies directly to the blade from the water tank.
Two Quick-Set Log Clamps
Constructed of solid tube steel, the quick-set log clamps tightly secure logs for sawing and are adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. The log clamps use an acme thread screw for better durability, rust-resistant powder-coat paint, and a clamp point block for an extra grip on a round log or squared cant. Each log clamp is able to move between other cross sections and additional log clamps are available as needed.
