LumberLite 24 Mid-Size Band Sawmill (available until January 2010)

Click here to learn more about the NEW LumberLite ML26 available spring 2010.

Give the lumberyard a pass. Mill your own lumber, beams and boards – how you want, when you want. With your own LumberLite 24 sawmill –

Mill hardwood and softwood logs up to 24” (60cm)* in diameter

Cut boards and beams up to 17” (42.5cm) wide accurately to 1/16th of an inch

Built specifically for hobbyists and craftsmen, the LumberLite makes short work of milling lumber for all your small projects – fencing, sheds, decking, siding, you name it. So economical, your LumberLite could well pay for itself after your very first project.

Like its big brother, the full-size LumberMate, you guide the sawhead manually. The result? – Quality lumber. As you advance the blade through the cut, you feel knots and denser core wood so you can adjust the feed speed to make perfect, smooth cuts.

The backbone of this little workhorse is its patented laminated sawhead construction. Engineered for superior strength and torsional stability, this revolutionary innovation is a quantum-leap in sawmill design.

Built for years of trouble-free service, the LumberLite boasts many of the same commercial-grade features as the LumberMate, including industrial powder-coating, cast-iron bandwheels, precision-machined blade guides, and, of course, it’s backed by Norwood’s two-year bandmill warranty.

The Norwood LumberLite 24 is the most economical, reliable, user-friendly compact band sawmill available … period.

Features

Blade Lube System

Blade-Guide Rollers

Precision-machined, hardened and zinc-dichromate-plated 1 ¼” blade guide rollers each fitted with sealed double ball-bearings. Sawdust Exhaust – Sawdust exhausts on far side of the mill away from the operator – not at your feet like other sawmills.

Safe and Easy Working Position

Sawmill sits right on the ground for easy log loading.

Double Sealed Ball-Bearings

Carriage wheels and blade-guides fitted with sealed double ball bearings for smooth, trouble-free operation – not bushings like you find on some other mills.

Solid Bed

Bed installs permanently to any solid foundation like laminated planks, steel beams or concrete. Includes a log-dog and two log-rest assemblies.

Patented Technology

Patented laminated sawhead construction engineered for superior strength and ease of assembly.

Commercial-Grade Powder Coating

Premium-quality commercial powder-coat process delivers superior rust-resistance and longer wear than paint.

Smooth Sawhead Feed

Guide the sawhead through the cut with fingertip pressure – allows you to judge the best speed for smooth cuts through knots and denser core-wood. No tiresome arm-numbing cranking.
