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.

In mid-2013, Norwood Sawmills will launch a new, even bigger, even more capable super-size portable sawmill to meet the needs of its global customers. Modeled after Norwood’s successful LumberMate Pro MX34-series sawmill, Norwood increased log capacity and added features to build the new LumberPro HD36.
Like the LumberMate Pro MX34, the new LumberPro HD36 can be manually configured, or be fully hydraulic, or a hybrid of both. And, like every Norwood sawmill, the HD36 is quality-built in the U.S.A. and Canada.

U.S. Patent Nos. 7,784,387, 11/005,186, 8,215, 216, 8,261,645, 8,261,647, 12/949,877, D639,319 & D654,101; Canada Patent Nos. 2,488,216, 132823, 2,687,619, 2,687,622, 2,687,623, 2,688,407, 2,696,974 & 134185; EU Patent Nos. 001212393-0001 & 001217277-0001; Brazil Patent No. DI 7001877-4; Other patents pending in multiple jurisdictions.
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)
