INDIANAPOLIS , IN – Wood-Mizer Products Inc. has launched another new portable sawmill just weeks after they introduced their new ultra-compact model. The LT28 is a manual mill and is designed for wood enthusiasts who want to saw part-time for hobby or to supplement their income.

The LT28 features an 18 HP engine and will cut up to 200 board feet per hour using a manual crank and walk-along cutting technique. The sawmill handles 32” diameter logs up to 21’ long and comes standard with a trailer package. Wood-Mizer engineers point out that with this new model, there are many power options to boost productivity.

The optional power feed replaces the manual hand crank feature with an electronic driven system. This allows sawyers to move the head down the log and back at a faster pace to further increase production. Additionally, the log deck package, which includes manual winch, a log turner, and toeboards, is a labor saving option that assists in loading, leveling and turning logs.

Wood-Mizer’s VP of the Portable Sawmill Division, Dave Mann , commented that the new mill is easy to operate and enticing to those wanting to turn logs into lumber. “The LT28 is a simple mill to run that doesn’t sacrifice quality. As one of our entry level models, we anticipate that it will get many people started in portable sawmilling.”

The LT28 is backed with the same legendary service, quality and safety features shared by the other Wood-Mizer sawmills. It is part of the company’s seven mill line-up and orders can be placed at 1-877-866-0667 and information is available online at www.woodmizer.ca
