Features
Maxmise 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.
Rigid xFRAME
LX frame mast with reinforced twin rail bed construction.
Durable Sawmill Bed with Diagonal Crossbars
The sawmill bed adds strength and durability where it counts with laser cut steel bed rails, cross sections with wide top surface areas for better weight distribution and 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.
Precision Sawing with Thin-Kerf Sawmill Blades
Engage the sawmill blade with the convenient pull handle that engages the mechanical clutch and throttles the engine at the same time. The LX50SUPER requires 132” length sawmill blades (sold separately) and it is recommended to have at least 10 sawmill blades on hand to minimize sawing downtime when sharpening blades. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, you get the most usable lumber out of every log.
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.
Clean Blades with Gravity-Fed Blade Lubrication
Keep the sawmill blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the gravity-fed blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade. A water tank conveniently located close to the operator is easy to refill and features an on/off valve for consistently distributing lubrication to the blade.
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. 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 on the bed during loading, turning, clamping, and sawing. 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.
Conveinient 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.
