LT50WIDE hydraulic portable sawmill is a powerhouse! LT50WIDE hydraulic portable sawmill features a cutting capacity for sawing 41" diameter logs into 34-1/2" wide boards up to 21' in length. Built in the USA with a premium quality welded steel frame, the patented open side of the LT50 hydraulic sawhead allows for minimal leveling during set-up, easy off-bearing with the trapezoid shaped bed, and sawing of odd shaped logs. Featuring Deluxe Accuset® 2 Setworks, auto clutch, hydraulic loading arms, hydraulic toeboards, power feed motor, auto board return arm and table and optional debarker to help remove dirt and bark from the blade path to keep blades sharp longer, the LT50WIDE hydraulic portable sawmill delivers rockstar results.


Built in the USA
From raw steel fabrication, forming, welding, paint, assembly and final inspection, our dedicated employees at the Wood-Mizer owned and operated factory in the heart of the Midwest USA have been manufacturing premium quality Wood-Mizer equipment at a low cost to you since 1982.
Hydraulic Bi-Directional Chain Log Turner
Twice as fast as a claw turner, logs and cants are easily turned and rotated for maximum control with a hydraulically controlled bi-directional steel chain log turner.
Hydraulic Log Loading Arms
Load large logs onto the sawmill bed with the hydraulically controlled loading arms. Each arm features a self-leveling, heavy-duty cylinder.
Fast Powered Saw Head with Advanced Setworks
Quickly and accurately move the saw head up/down and forward/reverse for sawing with the easy-to-use powered saw head controls. An individual power feed motor delivers faster forward/reverse saw head speeds for increased production. Plus, the advanced setworks allow for pre-set board thicknesses to automatically calculate and control blade height while referencing from the previous cut or from the bed of the sawmill for increased efficiency and performance.
Gas, Diesel, or Electric Power
The powerful and reliable 38HP gas, 35HP diesel, or 25HP electric power options deliver the necessary power to meet your high-production sawing needs.
Hydraulic Bi-Directional Log Clamp
The heavy-duty bi-directional hydraulic log clamp tightly fastens logs for sawing and is adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut.
Auto Blade Lubrication
Keep the sawmill blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the auto blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade. The lubrication valve automatically opens when the sawmill controls are in the forward feed position and closes in neutral or reverse for consistently distributing lubrication to the blade when you need it.
Road-Ready Trailer
The LT50WIDE is completely portable and ready for road travel with a standard single axle trailer, hitch, taillights, and electric brakes.
Power Feed Motor
Individual power feed motor delivers greater forward/reverse sawhead speeds and increased performance
Hydraulic Vertical Side Supports
Four strong steel side supports – two manual and two vertical hydraulically controlled with heavy-duty rollers to assist with turning logs - are adjustable up/down to stabilize logs on the bed during loading, turning, clamping, and sawing. An additional built-in bed side support on each bunk allows for final cuts as low as 1” of the bed.

Building Wooden Toy Cars in Michigan for Operation Christmas Child
From Maleny to the World: Unlocking the Sound of Australian Timber
For over 30 years, David Linton has been revealing the hidden beauty of Australia’s unique timbers. With his Wood-Mizer LT40 and RazorTip blades, he mills rare species like Blackwood, Bunya Pine, and Red Cedar into tonewoods prized by guitar makers worldwide. “The colours, the figure, the surprises inside — it’s mind-blowing,” David says. His careful process — air-drying for years before finishing — ensures that every log is treated with patience and respect. The result: timber that travels from Maleny’s forests to global stages in the form of world-class instruments.
