Manual Design - Quality Lumber -
The Norwood® LumberMate™ is an easy-to-operate, all-manual mill. The result? - Quality lumber. As you advance the blade through the cut, you can feel knots and denser core wood. This means that you can adjust the feed speed to make perfect cuts.

Superb Accuracy -
With the LumberMate™, you can cut through hardwood and softwood logs accurately to 1/32^nd of an inch - More accurately than many high-priced sawmills.

Large Capacity -
Standard, the Norwood LumberMate™ can handle logs up to 31" in diameter (77.5cm) and mill boards and beams up to 24" wide (60cm) and 13-feet long (3.9m) (or as long as you need with additional optional 4-foot bed extensions (1.2m)). Many LumberMate™ owners are milling logs 40-feet long or more!

Easy-Operating Counter-Balanced Sawhead -
Accurately and effortlessly raise and lower the counter-balanced sawhead with a quick spin of the wheel. Advance the sawhead along the track with only finger-tip pressure.

No Wasted Wood -
The LumberMate's narrow-kerf band blade delivers up to 30% more lumber than circular saws … so you produce boards, not sawdust. Also, the LumberMate™ allows you to mill to within 1 inch (2.5cm) of the bed.

Steel-Strong Bed -
The LumberMate™ boasts a rigid bed constructed of 2 ½" x 8" twin debossed-steel rails galvanized for lifetime rust-resistance and 3" x 6" steel box-beam cross-bunks protected by automotive-grade powder coating. The LumberMate comes standard with two log dog/log rest assemblies.

Rugged Carriage Construction -
The LumberMate's carriage is constructed of 2½" tubular steel reinforced with steel gussets. The carriage top-frame is shipped fully welded.

Sawdust and Engine Exhaust -
Both the engine exhaust and sawdust chute are on the far side of the LumberMate™ … directed away from the operator. So, unlike other mills out there, you don't wade through and inhale sawdust and exhaust fumes when operating the Norwood LumberMate™.

Powder-Coating & Zinc-Plating -
Don't settle for just paint. Norwood insists on using only tough, long-lasting powder-coating and zinc-plating for maximum rust-resistance.

Customizable -
The Norwood LumberMate™ is the only customizable mill on the market. Select from 4 engine choices and a multitude of commercial-capacity options. Tailor your LumberMate™ to match your unique needs - Now … or later - It's your choice. So, even if your sawmilling goals are personal to start, you can expand your LumberMate to meet new professional demands that may arise as your milling operation grows in the future.

Truly Portable -
Equipped with the optional trailer package, the Norwood LumberMate™ is truly portable. Trailer the LumberMate right to the milling site behind your car or truck on the highways or behind your ATV in the woods.

Quick Connect/Disconnect Trailer Design -
The LumberMate's trailer package is designed to be quick-connect/quick-disconnect so that, after arriving at the milling site, you can lower your LumberMate right down to the ground in only a few minutes. Why bother? - Because it is far easier, and safer, to load and mill the logs down low. Also, when on the ground, the bed is fully supported all the way along so that you make perfectly straight cuts.

Value -
Because Norwood ships the LumberMate™ in knock-down form on a 4-foot x 4-foot pallet (1.2m x 1.2m), you don't pay for inflated labor or shipping charges.

Reliability -
There are thousands and thousands of Norwood LumberMate™ sawmills hard at work all over the world. Many are being used year-round, day-in and day-out under some of the harshest conditions. We build them to work as hard as you.

Easy-Operating Crank Sawhead -

No Wasted Wood -
The LumberLite's narrow-kerf band blade delivers up to 30% more lumber than circular saws … so you produce boards, not sawdust. Also, the LumberLite™ allows you to mill to within 1 inch (2.5cm) of the bed.

Quality Components -
The Norwood® LumberLite™ shares many of the same superior-quality features and components as its big brother, the LumberMate™ 2000, including the same large-diameter cast-iron bandwheels, precision-machined, hardened and zinc-dichromate-plated blade-guide rollers, and carriage-wheels fitted with sealed bearings.
