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 1/32nd 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 ˝" 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 2˝" 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.
