Saw logs into lumber, slabs, and more with the exceptional value LX50SUPER portable sawmill! Combining premium quality features with an entry-level price, the LX50SUPER is one of the best portable sawmills for the money. Compared to the LX50START portable sawmill, the LX50SUPER includes multiple upgrades for better sawing performance and operation including a heavier-duty bent steel sawmill frame, more powerful KOHLER gas engine, longer sawing length, bed leveling feet, heavier-duty side supports, extra log clamp, and more. This small portable sawmill can take on most of the softwood and hardwood logs you’ll come across with the ability to saw 26” diameter logs with a 23-1/2” width of cut, 8” depth of cut, and 12’ 5” length of cut. Maximize sawing capacity with the rectangular throat design that provides full width sawing at any cutting depth or saw longer logs with optional 5’ bed extensions with no practical limit. The LX50SUPER adds strength and durability where it counts with a heavy-duty bent steel sawmill frame, laser cut steel bed, diagonal bed crossbars for additional stability, and more. Packed with performance-enhancing features, the LX50SUPER includes a reliable 14HP KOHLER gas engine, high-performance blade guide rollers, gravity-fed blade lubrication, convenient sawdust port, quick up/down sawhead, and quick-set log handling for a user-friendly sawing experience. These performance-rich features combined with the industry-leading reliability and durability of Wood-Mizer equipment makes the LX50SUPER one of the best-valued portable sawmills in its class.
Maximize Sawing Capacity with Rectangular Throat
Saw softwood and hardwood logs up to 26” in diameter with a 23-1/2” width of cut and an 8” depth of cut – more than enough capacity for the hobby sawyer. Maximize sawing capacity with the rectangular saw throat design that provides the same 23-1/2” width of cut from the blade all the way up to the saw head compared to triangular designs that lose sawing width capacity the deeper you cut.
Reliable Power with KOHLER Gas Engine
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.
Strong Sawmill Frame with Heavier-Duty Bent Steel
The sawmill frame is constructed of heavier-duty premium bent steel to hold the controls, engine, and sawmill head in a strong and stable structure. The extra weight of the sawmill frame provides for enhanced sawing stability and quality. For smooth and accurate sawing, the sawmill frame runs forward/reverse on the sawmill bed using high-quality enclosed rollers that are protected from sawdust and debris.
Durable Sawmill Bed with Diagonal Crossbars
The sawmill bed adds strength and durability where it counts with ¼” thick laser cut steel bed rails, cross sections with wide top surface areas for easier log handling, and extra diagonal crossbars for additional stability. In addition, the entire sawmill bed is painted and constructed of the same premium solid steel throughout the bed to last for years, not seasons.
Saw Longer Logs with Optional Bed Extensions
Saw logs up to 12’ 5” in length with the included sawmill bed sections. Optional 5’ bed extensions are available for sawing longer lengths with no practical limit. All sawmill bed sections are modular and easily bolt together for seamless extension of your sawmill. Simplify leveling of the sawmill bed with included adjustable bed leveling feet available for each bed section.
High-Performance Sawing with Blade Guide Rollers
High-performance blade guide rollers provide extra support and stability for sawmill blades to saw accurately and consistently compared to blade guide blocks. In addition to continuously feeding the blades, the blade guide rollers apply downward pressure on the blade while sawing for better cut quality. Sawmill blades run on belted 16" diameter cast iron band wheels for additional stability in the cut.
Quick Sawhead Up/Down with Crank Handle
Quickly and accurately move the sawhead up and down to prepare for sawing with the crank handle. Easily turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise with 68 locking locations to adjust the blade depth for the next cut in 1/68” increments. A log scale is also included for sawing 8/4”, 6/4”, 5/4”, 4/4”, and 3/4” lumber.
Secure Logs with 2 Quick-Set Log Clamps
Constructed of strong tube steel, two quick-set log clamps tightly fasten logs for sawing and are adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. Comparable plated style log clamps are lightweight and difficult to provide a safe and secure clamp on heavier logs. The log clamp uses a large acme thread screw for better durability 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.
Support Logs with 2 Quick-Set Side Supports
Two strong tube steel quick-set side supports are adjustable up/down to stabilize logs during sawing and turning logs. Each side support is mounted on the same steel bar as an adjustable log clamp for improved log stability. An additional built-in bed side support on each cross section eliminates the need for quick-lock side supports while sawing a squared cant and allows for final cuts within 1” of the bed.
Convenient Sawdust Management with Port
Keep sawdust away from the band wheels, belts, and sawmill blade with the 4” diameter sawdust port conveniently located on the opposite side of the operator. In addition, the open slots on the bottom of the saw head direct additional sawdust away from moving parts to further reduce sawdust build-up that can impact sawmill and blade performance.
Easy Blade Changes with One-Piece Sawhead
Sawmill blade changes are easy with the one-piece saw head cover that is secured by two outside fasteners and two inside clips. The space-saving cover opens above the sawmill and locks into place for convenience and safety. To change a sawmill blade, simply release the blade tension, replace the blade, and tension the blade with the simple screw indicator without having to remove any extra parts.
Easy Shipping and Assembly
The LX50SUPER 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.
