START sawing with the world’s most popular portable sawmill design featuring a durable steel box bed frame, quick up/down saw head, and optional GO trailer.
START sawing with the world’s most popular LT15 sawmill series design! The LT15START portable sawmill features a cutting capacity for sawing 28" diameter logs into 26" wide boards up to 11' in length with optional 6' 8" extensions for sawing longer lengths. Built in the USA with premium quality steel and industrial-grade powder coat paint, the LT15START sawmill adds durability with a steel box bed frame and features a quick up/down sawhead, gravity-fed blade lubrication, steel side supports, steel log clamps, and optional GO trailer. Engineered for sawyers looking for a portable sawmill that is low cost, highly durable, and saws accurately, the popular LT15 sawmill series is known throughout the world for its quality, versatility and affordability.
Large In-Class Cutting Capacity
The LT15START features a large in-class cutting capacity for sawing 28” diameter logs into 26” wide boards up to 11’ in length. Optional 6’ 8" bed extensions for sawing longer lengths are available with no practical limit. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, the log clamp and built in bed side support allow for final cuts within 1” of the sawmill bed so you get the most usable lumber out of every log.
Reliable Kohler Power
The powerful and dependable Kohler Command Pro 14HP gas engine features Quad-Clean™ all-season four-stage cyclonic air filter for effective engine protection even in tough and dirty sawing conditions. In addition, performance-driven features include a forged-steel crankshaft, electronic ignition and cast-iron cylinder liner for professional grade power and performance. Plus, a large-capacity fuel tank means more time sawing and less time refueling. Each Kohler engine includes a 3-year commercial limited warranty.
Quick Sawhead Up/Down
Quickly and accurately move the sawhead up and down to prepare for sawing with the crank handle. Easily turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the blade depth 1” for each full rotation or 1/16” for each notch to prepare for the next cut. A log scale is also included for sawing 8/4”, 6/4”, 5/4”, 4/4”, and 3/4” lumber.
Adjustable Blade Guide Arm and Blade Engage
Reduce blade travel and support the blade when sawing narrow and wide material with the adjustable blade guide arm. Engage the sawmill blade with one handle that engages the mechanical clutch and throttles the engine at the same time. Keep the blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the gravity-fed blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade.
Quick-Set Log Clamp
Constructed of solid tube steel, the quick-set log clamp tightly fastens logs for sawing and is adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. The log clamp uses an acme thread screw for better durability, rust-resistant powder-coat paint, and a clamp point block for an extra grip on a round log or squared cant. Each log clamp is able to move between other cross sections and additional log clamps are available.
Four Steel Adjustable Side Supports
Four durable steel side supports are adjustable up/down to stabilize logs during loading, sawing, and turning logs. Each side support is mounted on the bed and includes rust-resistant powder-coat paint for durability. An additional built-in bed side support on each cross section eliminates the need for adjustable side supports while sawing a squared cant and allows for final cuts within 1” of the bed.
Adjustable Bed Leveling Feet
Eight adjustable bed leveling feet are included with every LT15START sawmill for simple leveling of the bed. Additional LT15 bed extensions also include adjustable feet to help keep your sawmill bed level at any sawing length.
Easy Shipping and Assembly
The LT15START portable sawmill ships on a single pallet, comes with one Wood-Mizer sawmill blade, and requires minimal assembly time so you can start sawing within a few hours of receiving your sawmill.
