Easy Shipping and Easy Assembly
The LX50START portable sawmill ships on a single pallet and requires minimal assembly time so you can start sawing within a few hours of receiving your sawmill.
Saw softwood and hardwood logs up to 26” in diameter with a 23-1/2” width of cut and an 8” depth of cut – more than enough capacity for the hobby sawyer. Maximize sawing capacity with the rectangular saw throat design that provides the same 23-1/2” width of cut from the blade all the way up to the saw head.
Reliable Power with KOHLER Gas Engine
The powerful and dependable KOHLER Command Pro 9.5HP gas engine (14HP gas engine included with the LX50SUPER) features Quad-Clean™ all-season four-stage cyclonic air filter for effective engine protection even in tough and dirty sawing conditions.
Optional GO Trailer
Go portable by adding the GO Trailer to an LX50 model sawmill! Includes durable steel frame, single axle with suspension, two wheels with removable fenders, set of six adjustable outriggers, two transport clamps, and hitch for off-road towing.
Strong Sawmill Frame with Premium Steel
The sawmill frame is constructed of premium steel to hold the controls, engine, and sawmill head in a strong and stable structure (heavier-duty premium bent steel sawmill frame included with the LX50SUPER). For smooth and accurate sawing, the sawmill frame runs forward/reverse on the sawmill bed using high-quality enclosed rollers that are protected from sawdust and debris.
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 68 locking locations to adjust the blade depth for the next cut in 1/68” increments. A log scale is also included for sawing 8/4”, 6/4”, 5/4”, 4/4”, and 3/4” lumber.
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 easier to refill and features an on/off valve for consistently distributing lubrication to the blade.
Secure Logs with 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 (two quick-set log clamps included with the LX50SUPER). The log clamp uses a large 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-Lock Drop-In Side Supports
Four strong tube steel quick-lock drop-in side supports (two short and two long) use a convenient and secure notching system for fast adjustment between cuts and when turning logs. An additional built-in bed side support on each cross section eliminates the need for quick-lock side supports while sawing a squared cant and allows for final cuts within 1” of the bed.
High-Performance Sawing with Blade Guide Rollers
High-performance blade guide rollers provide extra support and stability for sawmill blades to saw accurately and consistently compared to blade guide blocks. In addition to continuously feeding the blades, the blade guide rollers apply downward pressure on the blade while sawing for better cut quality.
