High-production super hydraulic portable sawmill featuring a strong twin rail LX frame, advanced hydraulic log handling, advanced powered saw head controls with setworks, dragback fingers with outfeed table, and chain log turner.
The LX450 Hydraulic is a twin-rail portable sawmill engineered for high-production sawyers who prefer a twin-rail sawmill design. With many of the proven, robust features of the Wood-Mizer LT50 sawmill model, the LX450 is designed with a rigid LXFrame sawhead tower that travels on parallel hardened steel bars and holds the sturdy sawmill head and control panel which is on an adjustable arm for optimal visibility. The sawmill is completely portable and ready for road travel with a standard single axle trailer and electric brakes. Six fine-adjust outriggers and bubble levels on the head and mast assist with set-up and leveling of the bed prior to sawing. All log handling functions are hydraulically driven and controlled from a centralized station at the front of the sawmill.
Operation
Loaded and turned hydraulically with loading arms and a heavy-duty bi-directional chain log turner, logs are secured onto the bed by four side supports (two hydraulically controlled vertical supports) and a heavy-duty hydraulic log clamp. Two hydraulic roller toeboards assist with precise leveling of the log on the bed for tapered logs. Accuset2 Setworks and powered head controls position the saw head height to prepare for sawing. Accuset2 calculates board thickness to quickly and accurately reposition the sawing head automatically for the next cut. Once the blade is engaged with an auto clutch, the saw head advances through the log with the power feed control that includes variable speed for optimal sawing control. The power feed includes an individual motor that delivers greater forward/reverse head speeds for increased performance. A water tank feeds lubrication directly to the blade to improve cutting performance and keep the blade clean. Material dragback fingers and a 2' x 2' outfeed table assists with offbearing boards. An optional debarker helps extend blade life between sharpenings by clearing a ¼” wide path in front of the sawmill blade’s cut entry. The adjustable blade guide arm keeps the blade well supported while cutting various sized material. Blade tension is easily adjusted, and keeps the blade at the proper tension for cutting.
Features
- 36" max log diameter with 34" max width of cut and 21' length of cut
- Advanced hydraulic log handling (log loading arms, toeboards, bi-directional chain log turner, log clamp, and two vertical side supports)
- Powered saw head up/down & forward/reverse with high-output feed motors for fast head positioning
- Accuset2 Setworks allows 16 pre-set board thicknesses to quickly and accurately calculate and control blade height while referencing from the previous cut or desired finished product. Operates in five control modes and includes on-board diagnostics
- Rigid LX Frame sawhead tower with heavy-duty twin rail bed construction
- Material dragback fingers with 2' x 2' outfeed table for easy offbearing
- Standard trailer with bubble levels on the head and mast, plus six fine-adjust
- Built in the USA
Popular Options
- Debarker removes dirt and bark from the blade path for longer blade life
- Stationary command control eliminates standard walk-along controls by placing the operator at a fixed location at the front of the sawmill to control all head and hydraulic bed functions
- LED light package for better visibility when sawing dawn or dusk

Material Dragback Fingers
Material dragback fingers and a 2' x 2' outfeed table assists with offbearing boards
Fine-Adjust Outriggers
Six fine-adjust outriggers allow for set-up and leveling of the bed prior to sawing
Bubble Levels on Head and Mast

Hydraulic Loading Arms
Logs are easily loaded onto the sawmill bed by hydraulically controlled loading arms. Each arm features a self-leveling, heavy-duty cylinder
4 Side Supports
Four side supports (two hydraulically controlled vertical supports) assist as back stops for log loading and turning while also providing stability when log clamping.
Hydraulic Log Clamp
Logs are secured onto the bed by four side supports (two hydraulically controlled vertical supports) and a heavy-duty hydraulic log clamp that uses a special two-plane clamping system for simplifying sawing of stressed logs
Bi-directional Chain Log Turner
Twice as fast as a claw log turner, logs and cants are easily turned for maximum log control with a hydraulically controlled bi-directional chain log turner
Two Log Leveling Toeboards
Two hydraulic roller toeboards assist with precise leveling of the log on the bed for tapered and uneven logs
Optional Command Control
The Command Control places the operator at a fixed location at the front of the sawmill and gives the ability to control all sawhead and hydraulic bed functions
