Bolt each of the two dogging/rolling assemblies onto separate cross bunks. You’ll find your sawlog, resting right on the smooth-action rollers, is easier to turn – even by hand!  Dogging is also faster thanks to the one-handed, single-action log dog clamps designed specifically to handle this mid-size dimension logs. Two units per set. (Item No. 41295)

 

 

Patented AutoMatic Dogging Assist help you clamp your logs quickly on the HD36 and MX34 portable sawmills
AutoMatic Dogging Assist– Most logs are not perfectly round or straight and therefore often have a mind of their own when rotating and clamping them. Norwood’s patented AutoMatic Dog Assists tame those kinds of logs by automatically following the log’s contours when you rotate the log, and then holding the log firmly exactly where you want it. Streamlines the typical two-handed, two-step dogging process into one smooth and easy step. Norwood is the only company that offers this convenient patented invention.  One unit per set.  (Item No. 41289)

Norwood is the only company that offers the patented, time-saving Log Rest Actuators. Two units per set. (Item No. 41291)

 

Overview: 

Huge Capacity Maximizes Your Output

The LumberMate Pro MX34 portable sawmill has best-in-class log capacity of 34” (85cm), and throat opening of 28” (70cm).  Standard, it’ll mill logs and lumber 13-feet (3.9m) long. Or go as long as you want with bed extensions. Do you want to mill beams 41-feet (12.3m)? – No problem, just add seven extensions. Or go longer. Go ahead and compare – not many other band sawmills out there can handle logs this big!


No Other Mill has So Many Time-Saving Features

Multiple state-of-the-art automated features turbocharge your milling operation.  Time is money and the less you have to do means the more you’ll get done.
 

Quick-Cycle© Sawing– Automated operations increase efficiency by up to 40% to boost your production:
  • Auto-lock sawhead
  • Auto-flow sawblade-lube
  • Auto-engage clutch
  • Auto-engage blade-brake
  • Auto-lock adjustable blade guide
Quick-Lock Log Clamping– High-efficiency auto-lock log rests and cam-operated log dogs yield fast, professional throughput
 

Super-Duty Construction

Engineered from the ground up to be rugged yet easy to operate.  Norwood goes the extra mile to ensure your LM Pro MX34 portable sawmill is every bit as tough as the jobs you give it.

The LM Pro’s wide-track log deck built of twin double-plated commercial-grade-steel rails is stronger than the competition and 2X stiffer.  Sure, there’s a whole lot of steel, but the real secret to making the LM Pro’s log deck stronger than the others is the way it’s formed – 400-ton press-formed strengthening debossments boost rigidity and strength.  What’s more, the boxed front and rear end-frames are extra-rigid structures that provide added strength and torsional stability.

The LM Pro’s rigid 4-post carriage frame is fortified with structurally-engineered and reinforced 2” x 5” (5cm x 12.5cm) precision-extruded vertical guides, and heavy-gauge 2½” structural tubular-steel rear vertical mounts and front horizontal stabilizer bar.  The LM Pro’s solid 4-post frame effortlessly manages higher load inputs to mill with accuracy and control.


Operator Comfort

Dura-Guide© industrial-grade ceramic saw blade guides deliver superior triple-surface blade support while eliminating the metal on metal screech of ordinary machined guides.  This noise-reduction breakthrough, along with the adjustable comfort-height operator’s station, mean you’ll enjoy running your LM Pro as much as you enjoy its output.


The Most Versatile Mill Around … Period

Not sure where your milling operation could take you?  Don’t want to commit too much before you know exactly where your milling operation is headed?  Want to keep all your options open?              
            
The LumberMate Pro MX34 portable sawmill is the answer. Start with the Pro in its manual configuration – you’ll be able to mill huge logs, no problem!  Then, if you want to add functionality later on down the road … maybe a trailer package, more cutting length, log loader system, toe boards, or even full hydraulics… you can!  Nothing will stop you from growing your LM Pro sawmill into a fully-hydraulic, fully-powered, lumber-churning giant at any time down the line.             
        
Built to be the bedrock of your operation, the LM Pro’s one-two punch of high output features and unsurpassed heavy-duty construction will get the job done every time.  When you’re looking for a sawmill with high-production capacity plus standard features that can get you comfortably through the work day, look no further than the Norwood LumberMate Pro MX34.  Factor in the versatility to grow your LM Pro at any time, and you’ve guaranteed yourself a mill that can handle virtually anything you throw at it.

Features: 

Made in the U.S.A. & Canada– All parts in the LumberMate Pro MX34 are quality-built in Canada and the U.S.A. by highly-trained, highly-skilled operators with cutting-edge fabrication and machining technologies. Norwood does not make anything in China, Taiwan or Poland, like some other companies.

Rigid 4-Post Carriage Frame– The sawhead has to be stable and strong to make straight cuts. The only way to make absolutely sure that it can do its job is to support it on both sides. The LM Pro’s 4-post carriage frame does just that.

Customizable– Increase the LM Pro’s production, capacity, and efficiency by adding any of the optional manual or hydraulic commercial-capacity sawmill attachments at any time.

Dura-Guide© Ceramic Blade Guides– Full 3-sided saw blade support maximizes stability in the cut.  More durable than bearings & rollers, they also run cooler and virtually silent, and are less affected by sawdust buildup and freezing.  Because they eliminate blade deflection and down-pressure, they extend sawmill blade life by up to 40%.

Single-Action 4-Function Operator’s Control– Activate the lever at the operator’s station and simultaneously throttle up the engine, turn on the saw blade lubrication system, disengage the blade-brake, and engage the clutch.  These time-saving automated functions boost your efficiency, and your production.

Auto-Lock Sawhead– Patented Norwood sawhead friction makes raising and lowering the sawhead effortless and also automatically locks the sawhead. By eliminating two operator functions on every cut (locking and unlocking the sawhead), your sawing cycle times are faster and your output is greater.

Patented Laminated Sawhead Technology – Extra-rigid laminated sawhead structure with twin-reinforcing beams provide maximum strength and torsional stability for superior accuracy.

International Safety Standards– Integrated safety features including full sawmill blade protection, safety-switch equipped guards and rapid blade-brake meet rigorous international safety standards. 

Oversize Bandwheels– Custom industrial-size cast-iron, precision-machined and balanced. Measuring 20¼” x 7/8” (50cm x 2.2cm), the super-wide surface area maximizes sawmill blade support, minimizes cupping and extends blade life.  Firm, smooth, long-life polyurethane bandwheel/blade interface belts reduce system resistance.

Belt-Tensioning Clutch – Simple, reliable, responsive.

Worry-Free Cross-Bunks– Narrow cross-bunk design eliminates debris build-up. Standard stainless-steel caps protect your sawmill investment and prevent staining of your valuable lumber.

Extreme-Duty Log Clamping System– Dual patented quick-locking log clamping systems lock fast, and hold firm even the knottiest logs.  Fast, no-fuss functions minimize log-handling time and maximize production throughput.  Designed for rapid-repositioning with available extra receivers for milling different log lengths.

Rugged Over-Centre Cam Dogs – Bite firm into both logs and cants.

Patented Norwood Quick-Set Log Rests– Adjust vertically in ¾” increments and automatically lock in position. Log rest scale decals give quick visual reference of height to the sawmill blade.  Top-mounted roller wheels help with log rolling.  Or, activate the back-stops for small logs and cants.  Lateral quick-adjust design to independently relocate the log rests well clear of the fixed blade guide for safe milling of irregular and knotty logs.

Laser-Straight Track– Laser-machined running surface and precision-CNC-machined upper carriage wheels deliver unparalleled milling accuracy.  Carriage equipped with under-track wheels for additional stability and security.

1½” Blade-Capable– The LM Pro is 1¼” and 1½” blade-capable.  (Shipped standard with 1¼” blade)

Hydraulics: 

 

Manual Hydraulic Pump System for the Norwood Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Pump System (Manual)– A powerful and low-cost entry into hydraulically-powered log-handling capabilities. The manual hydraulic hand pump can power the hydraulic log loaders. Hand pump kit comes complete with bracket.
(Item No. LM34-HD-P2)

 

 

Powered Hydraulic Pump System for the LM Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Pump Systems (Integrated Power or Auxiliary 5hp Gas Power) – Power all your hydraulic attachments with either the optional integrated or the auxiliary hydraulic pump system. Both systems deliver reliable power to all your hydraulic log-handling attachments – log loaders, log clamping, log turner and toe boards.

Picking the right power system for you depends on your operation. Powering the hydraulic pump integrated with the sawmill engine eliminates the noise and hassle of an independent pump powered by a separate engine.  Powering the hydraulic pump with a separate (auxiliary) engine simplifies the system and provides constant and uninterrupted flow to all of the hydraulic attachments.

The integrated hydraulic pump system comes complete with the auxiliary alternator system & housing, hydraulic pump, deep-cycle/high- capacity battery, standard 8-section valve-body, hydraulic hoses & fittings, mounting brackets and hardware. (Item No. LM34-HD-P1) 
The auxiliary hydraulic pump system comes complete with a 5hp Honda GX gas engine, the hydraulic pump, standard 8-section valve-body, hydraulic hoses & fittings, mounting brackets and hardware.
(Item No. LM34-HD-P4)
*Briggs gas engine required. 23hp model recommended for integrated power pack.

 

 

Hydraulic Log Loaders on the LM Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Log Loaders– Load logs onto your log deck with a simple flick of a lever. The hydraulic log loaders can handle logs nearly 3000lbs (1360kg). Steel “spans” automatically drop down to bridge the gap between the loaders and your bed, and help protect your track. Engineered for easy removal and safe trailering, you can quickly remove the loaders from your mill in just minutes thanks to the quick-connect/disconnect pins and hydraulic fittings. The same quick-connect system means you can reinstall the loaders in just as little time. This system can be used with either the manual or power hydraulic pump system. (Item No. LM34-HD-41400)

 

 

Hydraulic Toe Boards on the LM Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Roller Toe Boards– Compensate for the natural taper in logs with toe boards. Increase lumber yield and increase the quality of your boards, by keeping the face of your cuts parallel to the grain. This is especially important when milling for grade. Each hydraulic roller toe board is equipped with a powerful hydraulic cylinder that can lift full-size logs up to 3 ½”.  A pair of roller toe boards also makes repositioning logs along the mill easier thanks to rugged integrated steel rollers. Toe boards can be used with either the manual or power hydraulic pump systems. (Item No. LM34-HD-41285)

 

 

Hydraulic Log Turner System on the LM Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Log Turner – Rolling big logs is virtually effortless with the hydraulic log turner. A hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic motor give you separate control of vertical and rotation functions. Features dual-direction rotation – turn your log in either direction. Equipped with deep-toothed chain, the log turner bites hard into gnarly bark to maximize traction.  Use the log turner to roll logs into position for the first, second and third cuts. The hydraulic log turner requires the power hydraulic pump system.
(Item No. LM34-HD-41500)

 

 

Hydraulic Log Clamping System on the LM Pro Hydraulic Portable Sawmill
Hydraulic Log Clamping System– Clamp logs with vise-like power with this combined hydraulic log rests and hydraulic log dog system. Raise and lower the twin log rests, simultaneously, simply by operating a single lever. Built of precision laser-cut ¾” steel, they can travel up to 12 ½” above the log deck to clamp full-size logs and down as low as 7/8” above the log deck to mill boards within 1” of the bed.  The four-way acting, dual-function, log dog not only gives you the dexterity and power to securely clamp even the biggest logs, the integrated four-way acting log dog can also be used to manipulate and turn cants. Because the log dog is not suitable for turning logs in the round, consider equipping your Pro with the hydraulic log turner to roll logs into position for the first, second and third cuts. The hydraulic log clamping system requires the power hydraulic pump system. (Item No. LM34-HD-41600)

 

 

Power Feed & Power Sawhead System for the Norwood Pro band sawmill
Power Feed & Power Sawhead– From a single hand-held remote, direct multiple functions on your Pro’s sawhead: set the depth-of-cut, control the throttle, activate the sawmill blade lube system and power the carriage through the cut … all while standing comfortably at the head of your sawmill.

Controlled by a 3-way momentary switch on the remote, the power drive motor with chain-drive system positively powers your saw carriage along the log deck, through the cut … and back.   Adjust your feed rate, on-the-go, thanks to the speed-adjusting dial integrated right into the remote control … speed up, or slow down, as you’re cutting, so you get smooth boards, every time.  The control panel is programmed to make all your power-feed transitions smooth – Stop  Forward, Stop  Reverse, and Forward  Reverse.  From the same remote, activate the dedicated 3-way momentary switch to raise and lower the sawhead. (Item No. LM34-PSH-5000) Add a chain kit for each 4-foot bed extension (Item No. LM34-PSH-5020)

 

 

Board Drag-Back (Board Return) System for the Power Feed & Power Sawhead-Equipped Norwood Pro Band Sawmill
Board Return– If your Pro is equipped with the remote-controlled power sawhead, you can boost production more by equipping your sawmill with the board return system.  When you power the carriage back after making a cut, the steel drag-back fingers firmly and steadily return the board to the head of the mill. Just direct each board into your waiting trailer or lumber pile. (Item No. LM34-PSH-5010)

Intro: 

LumberLite® ML26 Mid-Sized Band SawmillIn mid-2013, Norwood Sawmills rebranded the LumberLite ML26 as the LumberMate LM29 band sawmill. The new larger LumberMate LM29 is modeled after Norwood’s popular LumberLite ML26-series sawmill.  The LM29 features larger log capacity, almost 50% wider maximum board size and an adjustable guide.

Like its predecessor, the new LumberMate LM29 is very easy to use and can “grow-as-you-go” by adding optional attachments as your milling needs evolve.  And, like every Norwood sawmill, the LM29 bandmill is quality-built in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Features: 

Made in the U.S.A. & Canada– All parts in the LumberLite ML26 are quality-built in Canada and the U.S.A. by highly-trained, highly-skilled operators with cutting-edge fabrication and machining technologies. Norwood does not make anything in China, Taiwan or Poland, like some other companies.

Industrial-Grade Powder-Coat– Like all forestry equipment bearing the Norwood name, the LumberLite is protected by industrial-grade powder-coat – electrostatically-applied, thermoset polymer cured under heat to create a hard finish which is much tougher than the old-fashioned spray paint used by other companies which is more prone to premature rust, chips and scratches.

Smooth Sawhead Feed – Guide the sawhead through the cut with finger-tip pressure – allows you to judge the best speed for smooth cuts through knots and denser core wood. No arm-numbing cranking.

Effortless Sawhead-Adjustment– Patented Norwood sawhead friction-winch system delivers easy, effortless vertical sawhead operation.  Auto-locking sawhead eliminates two time-consuming operations at every cut – the ML26 looks after locking and unlocking the sawhead for every board you mill. That saves hours of wasted time and increases your production.

Blade-Guide Rollers– Precision-machined, hardened and zinc-dichromate-plated 1¼” blade-guide rollers each fitted with sealed double ball-bearings.

Sawdust Exhaust– Sawdust exhausts on far side of mill away from you – not at your feet and in your shoes like other sawmills.

Leveling Feet– Equipped standard with leveling feet for quick, accurate bed leveling.

Blade Lube System– Keeps the saw blade pitch-free in softwoods.  Delivers water directly to the blade at the point of entry into the cut.  Large custom-molded water bottle with wide-mouth filling port for easy refilling.

Comfort-Height Operator’s Station– Standard on the LumberLite ML26, the convenience and comfort of the ergonomic tilt operator’s station.

Easy Working Position– Elevate as desired for easy log loading or add the optional trailer system with support legs.

Log-Clamping System– Screw-crank log-dog and opposing dual vertical-adjust log-rests firmly clamp logs in the round, cants and boards as thin as 1” (2.5cm).  3-function log rests simplify clamping both logs in the round and squared cants, and rotating logs without hang-ups.  Micro-precision log-rest adjusting bolts guarantee perfectly true 90-degree cuts.

Smooth-Action Carriage Wheels– Large CNC-machined upper carriage wheels fitted with sealed double bearings key to smooth, effortless rolling action.  Rubber under-track wheels for extra security and stability.

Versatile– Backed by the brand-name company you can trust, the LumberLite ML26 comes standard as the most reliable, easiest-to-use  sawmill in its class.  And it gets better … At any time … now, or ten years from now, you can add sawmill attachments to grow your ML26 – add extra extensions to mill longer logs, trailer system, log loading/rolling system and more.  So you keep all of your options open.

Equipping your chainsaw with proper ripping chain improves both performance and yield when you saw boards with your chainsaw and Norwood’s PortaMill PM14 chainsaw sawmill.

Intro: 

Ripping Chain for your PortaMill

GIVE YOUR CHAINSAW SAWMILL AN EDGE …
SPECIALTY FACTORY-CONFIGURED RIPPING CHAINS

Chainsaws are normally used to fell trees, and the normal chainsaw chain we are all familiar with is specifically meant for that cross-cutting application. But sawing boards, lengthwise down the grain as versus cutting across the grain for felling, involves different considerations.
 
Ripping chain features a special factory grind for making dimensional boards and planks from timber by "ripping" it (cutting parallel to the wood grain). Equipping your chainsaw with proper ripping chain improves both performance and yield when you saw boards with your chainsaw and Norwood’s PortaMill PM14 chainsaw sawmill.

Specifications and features:   

  • Norwood’s ripping chain features standard chassis and cutter parts. The cutter grind is the only difference from standard chain.

  • Made from patented steel alloy that is more durable in both cold and standard weather conditions, Norwood ripping chain is tested and proven to be 125% tougher at minus 20° Fahrenheit and 20% tougher at room temperature.

  • Norwood ripping chain feature Oregon’s LubriLink™ cavities in the chain tie-straps that act like reservoirs, reducing oil dispersal off the chain by centrifugal force. This helps hold oil in the chain parts when it slows or stops, thereby improving chain performance and helping extend chain life.

Ripping Chain for your PortaMill

Here’s how to pick the right chain for you:
 
All the information is on your chainsaw bar:

  1. Chain Gauge
