What it does well

  • Takes logs to 1,126 mm on the H44; the H28 cuts 680 mm wide by 640 mm deep
  • Portal frame with four guide posts keeps the head square over the full 3 m cut
  • Quick tension lever releases the band between jobs, so the blade lasts longer
  • Water is metered onto the blade at the cut, keeping the band cool and the kerf clear

What's included

  • Sawmill head, band wheels and four-section track
  • Blade guide assembly with water tank and metering valve
  • 10 hp petrol engine on the H28; 22 hp twin or 28 hp on H36/H44
  • Log clamp, adjustable support feet, tool kit and operating manual

How it works

The assemblies that decide how the cut comes out.

Portal frame and lifting structure

Gantry frame that stays square

The head rides on a portal frame with four chrome guide posts. Cutting load goes into the frame rather than the bed, so the blade stays square even when the log is off-centre.

Quick blade tension lever

Quick blade tension

A cam lever releases the band in one movement. Take the tension off between jobs and the blade lasts longer; a blade change takes minutes, not an hour.

10 hp petrol engine

10 hp petrol, or electric

The H28 runs a pull-start 10 hp petrol engine. H36 and H44 use a 22 hp twin-cylinder or 28 hp engine, and electric motors are available for indoor sites.

Blade guide with water feed

Water at the cut

A gravity tank and copper nozzle drop water on the blade where it enters the log. Cooler band, cleaner kerf, less resin on the wheels.
