MP100 Log Moulder / Planer
A specialized moulder head that planes rough wood surfaces smooth and moulds patterns to create columns or interlocking beams. The MP100 can be used standalone or integrated with the LT15 sawmill for complete log processing.
The MP100 Log Moulder/Planer is a specialized processing head designed to transform rough-sawn lumber into finished moulded and planed timber products. It performs dual-function operations: surfacing rough wood to precise tolerances while simultaneously cutting custom profiles into the workpiece to create architectural elements such as columns, beams, and interlocking structural components. The machine integrates seamlessly with Wood-Mizer's LT15 sawmill platform, utilizing a common log bed to streamline workflow and reduce capital equipment investment for mills seeking to expand product lines beyond primary breakdown. The MP100 delivers consistent surface quality and profile accuracy through its specialized moulder head configuration, which accommodates custom knife arrangements for both flat-face planing and decorative or functional pattern work. By leveraging the established log positioning and handling infrastructure of the LT15 sawmill, the MP100 reduces setup complexity and allows operators to transition between primary sawing and value-added moulding without extensive repositioning or additional material handling equipment. This design philosophy minimizes floor space requirements while maintaining efficient material flow for integrated operations. The MP100 is well-suited for medium-sized sawmills and wood processing operations looking to capture margin on secondary processing without capital-intensive separate equipment purchases. It serves producers of specialty lumber, architectural mouldings, timber frame components, and custom millwork who process 50–500 board feet per shift of value-added products. The machine is particularly valuable for mills handling hardwood species where profile moulding and precision planing justify the secondary processing investment and command premium pricing. Within the mid-range moulder category, the MP100's integration with the LT15 platform differentiates it from standalone planer-moulders by reducing total cost of ownership and floor space footprint. Operations already running LT15 sawmills can add moulding capability with minimal infrastructure expansion, making it an economical path to product diversification compared to purchasing independent moulder equipment.
