LT40 Wood-Mizer Sawmill

The Wood-Mizer LT40 is a portable band saw mill designed for primary log conversion in small-to-medium production environments. It accepts logs up to 90 cm in diameter and 5–8.6 m in length, making it suitable for processing both hardwood and softwood species across a range of diameters. The machine features a belted, cast iron blade wheel design mounted on a monorail bed construction with cantilever frame geometry, enabling stable operation under continuous cutting loads.

The LT40's control architecture emphasizes operator flexibility and precision. Electric setworks manage head up/down positioning, head forward/reverse travel, and blade guide arm adjustment—eliminating manual intervention for repetitive positioning tasks. The monorail bed design minimizes deflection under log weight, while the 150 mm diameter sawdust collection port integrates with standard dust extraction systems. Optional angled bed rails and trailer packages allow configuration for stationary mill setups or mobile operations on job sites. The machine meets CE safety standards, confirming compliance with European machinery directives.

This mill class targets small workshops (1–3 operators) through medium operations (4–8 staff) that process 5–15 logs per shift and value portability without sacrificing cut consistency. The LT40 excels in custom timber production, specialty hardwood milling, and rural on-site conversion where log transport costs justify mobile infrastructure. It bridges the gap between manual portable mills and fully automated industrial systems, making it cost-accessible for operations that cannot justify 50,000+ board-foot weekly targets.
