Features
Industrial-Grade Powder-Coat
Like all equipment bearing the Norwood name, the LumberLite is protected by industrial-grade powder-coat – electrostatically-applied thermoset polymer cured under heat to create a hard finish much tougher than conventional paint.
Smooth Sawhead Feed
Guide the sawhead through the cut with finger-tip pressure – allows you to judge the best speed for smooth cuts through knots and denser core wood.
Blade-Guide Rollers
Precision-machined, hardened and zinc-dichromate-plated 1¼” blade-guide rollers each fitted with sealed double ball-bearings.
Sawdust Exhaust
Sawdust exhausts on far side of mill away from you – not at your feet and in your shoes like other mills.
Leveling Feet
Equipped standard with leveling feet for quick, accurate bed leveling.
Blade Lube System
Keeps blade pitch-free in softwoods. Delivers water directly to the blade at the point of entry into the cut. Large custom-molded water bottle with wide-mouth filling port for easy refilling.
Comfort-Height Operator’s Station

Easy Working Position
Sits at ground level or elevate as desired for easy log loading.
Log-Clamping System
Screw-crank log-dog and opposing dual vertical-adjust log-rests hold firm logs in the round, cants, and boards as thin as 1” (2.5cm). Micro-precision log-rest adjusting bolts guarantee perfectly true 90-degree cuts.
Smooth-Action Carriage Wheels
Large CNC-machined upper carriage wheels fitted with sealed double bearings key to smooth, effortless rolling action. Rubber under-track wheels for extra security and stability.
Laser-Straight Track
Laser-machined rail running surface for perfectly straight track/wheel rolling interface.
