LumberMate Pro MX34 Full-Size Portable Sawmill
LumberMate Pro MX34 Full-Size Portable Sawmill
LumberMate® Pro MX34 portable sawmill was created to make your milling – and your workday – easier. Faster, bigger & more productive, whatever you throw at it, it’ll handle. Huge Capacity Maximizes Your OutputThe LumberMate Pro bandmill has best-in-class log capacity of 34” (85cm) and throat opening of 28” (70cm). Because we figured the more you can mill on your LM Pro, the more you’ll get out your LM Pro. Automated Features Turbocharge Your OperationThe LM Pro is so automated – so efficient – so fast – it’s hard to think of it as manual. Multiple state-of-the-art automated features turbocharge your milling operation. Time is money and the less you have to do means the more you’ll get done.
Quick-Cycle© Sawing – Automated operations increase efficiency by up to 40% to boost your production: ● Auto sawhead locking ● Auto blade-lube flow ● Auto clutch engagement ● Auto blade-brake engagement Quick-Set Setworks – Standard built-in 1” indexing and available quick-click detent setworks speed up cycle times and increase production. Quick-Lock Log Clamping – High-efficiency auto-lock log rests and cam-operated log dogs yield fast, professional throughput Super-Duty Construction Engineered from the ground up to be rugged yet easy to operate. Norwood goes the extra mile to ensure your LM Pro portable sawmill is every bit as tough as the jobs you give it. Stronger than the competition and 2X stiffer, the LM Pro uses twin double-plated commercial-grade-steel rails in its wide-track log deck. While impressive, the almost 1/4” (5.5mm) of steel isn’t the secret – What gives the LM Pro’s rugged log deck its muscle is the way it’s formed. 400-ton press-formed strengthening debossments boost rigidity and strength. What’s more, the boxed front and rear end-frames are extra-rigid structures that provide added strength and torsional stability. Greater strength, stiffness and lighter weight mean greater structural integrity. Next, we fortified the LM Pro’s 4-post carriage frame with structurally-engineered reinforced 2” x 5” (5cm x 12.5cm) precision-extruded vertical guides, and heavy-gauge 2½” structural tubular-steel rear vertical mounts and front horizontal stabilizer bar. The LM Pro’s solid frame effortlessly manages higher load inputs for better milling with more accuracy and control. Operator Comfort With our quiet Dura-Guide© technology, you’ll not compromise between comfort and capability. Industrial-grade ceramics deliver superior triple-surface blade support while eliminating the metal on metal screech of ordinary blade guides. This noise-reduction breakthrough, along with the adjustable comfort-height operator’s station, mean you’ll enjoy running your LM Pro as much as you enjoy its output. Built to be the bedrock of your operation, the LM Pro’s one-two punch of high output features and unsurpassed heavy-duty construction will get the job done every time. When you’re looking for a mill with high-production capacity plus standard features that can get you comfortably through the work day, look no further than the LumberMate Pro portable sawmill.

Features Industrial-Grade Dura-Guide© Ceramic Blade Guides Full 3-sided blade support maximizes stability in the cut. More durable than bearings & rollers, they also run cooler and virtually silent, and are less affected by sawdust buildup and freezing. They eliminate blade deflection and down-pressure and extend blade life by 40%. Single-Action 4-Function Operator’s Control Activate the lever at the operator’s station and simultaneously throttle up the engine, turn on the blade lubrication system, disengage the blade-brake, and engage the clutch. Time-saving automated functions boost efficiency and your production. Auto-Lock Sawhead Patented Norwood sawhead friction winch makes raising and lowering the sawhead effortless. Auto-sawhead locking eliminates two operator functions for fast sawing cycles and greater output. Auto 1” Indexing One revolution of the sawhead winch handle yields perfect 1” boards. Or, mill boards of any dimension using the standard 2”, 1” and ¾” scale. Patented Norwood Laminated Sawhead TechnologyExtra-rigid laminated sawhead structure with twin-reinforcing beams provide maximum strength and torsional stability for superior accuracy. International Safety Standards Integrated safety features including full blade protection, safety-switch equipped guards and rapid blade-brake meet rigorous international safety standards. Oversize Bandwheels Custom industrial-size cast-iron, precision-machined and balanced. Measuring 20¼” x 7/8” (50cm x 2.2cm), the super-wide surface area delivers maximum blade support for truer cuts, minimizes cupping and extends blade life. Firm, smooth, long-life polyurethane bandwheel/blade interface belts reduce system resistance. Belt-Tensioning Clutch Simple, reliable, responsive. Worry-Free Cross-Bunks Narrow cross-bunk design eliminates debris build-up. Standard stainless-steel caps protect your sawmill investment and prevent damaging staining of your valuable lumber. Extreme-Duty Log Clamping System Dual patented quick-locking log clamping systems lock fast, and hold firm even the knottiest logs. Fast, no-fuss functions minimize log-handling time and maximize production throughput. Designed for rapid-repositioning with available extra receivers for milling different log lengths. Rugged Over-Centre Cam Dogs Bite firm into both logs and cants. Patented Norwood Quick-Lock Log Rests Adjust vertically in ¾” increments and automatically lock in position. Log rest scale decals give quick visual reference of height to the blade. Top-mounted roller wheels help with log rolling. Or, activate the back-stops for small logs and cants. Lateral quick-adjust design to independently relocate the log rests well clear of the fixed blade guide for safe milling of irregular and knotty logs. Laser-Straight Track Laser-machined running surface and precision-CNC-machined upper carriage wheels deliver unparalleled milling accuracy. Carriage equipped with under-track wheels for additional stability and security. 1½” Blade-Capable The LM Pro is 1¼” and 1½” blade-capable.* It’s your choice.

(Item No. LM34-DRRCRKIT) Also available, additional complete log dog/rest clamping systems (one log dog/rest station per set). (Item No. LM34-DRKIT) |  | Rapid-Dogging and Rolling System - If you mill mainly small to mid-sized sawlogs 6” - 16” (15 - 40cm) in diameter, this patented dogging and rolling system is engineered to save you time and hassle. Bolt each of the two dogging/rolling assemblies onto separate cross bunks. You’ll find your sawlog, resting right on the smooth-action rollers, is easier to turn – even by hand! Dogging is also faster thanks to the one-handed, single-action log dog clamps designed specifically to handle this mid-size dimension logs. Two units per set. (Item No. 41295) |  | Hydraulic Pump System (Manual) – A powerful and low-cost entry into hydraulically-powered log-handling capabilities. The manual hydraulic hand pump can power the hydraulic log loaders as well as hydraulic toe boards. For more than one function, order the selector valve to direct the hydraulic flow to either the log loader or to the toe boards, either individually or simultaneously. Hand pump kit comes complete with bracket. (Item No. LM34-HD-P2) | | Hydraulic Selector Valve (for Manual Pump) – A simple, reliable, 3-way valve that makes selecting the hydraulic flow from the manual hydraulic pump quick and easy. Required where the manual hydraulic pump powers the hydraulic log loader system and toe board(s). (Item No. LM34-HD-P3) | | | Hydraulic Pump System (Integrated Power) – Power all your hydraulic attachments with the optional integrated hydraulic pump system. This system supplies seamless power for all your hydraulic log-handling attachments – log loaders, log clamping, log turner and toe boards. Powering the hydraulic pump with the sawmill engine eliminates the noise and hassle of an independent pump powered by a separate engine. The integrated hydraulic pump system comes complete with the auxiliary alternator system & housing, hydraulic pump, deep-cycle/high-capacity battery, standard 8-section valve-body, hydraulic hoses and fittings, mounting brackets and hardware. (Item No. LM34-HD-P1) |  | Hydraulic Log Loaders – Load logs onto your log deck with a simple flick of a lever. The hydraulic log loaders can handle logs nearly 3000lbs (1360kg). Steel “spans” automatically drop down to bridge the gap between the loaders and your bed, and help protect your track. Engineered for easy removal for safe trailering, you can quickly remove the loaders from your mill in just minutes thanks to the quick-connect/disconnect pins and hydraulic fittings. The same quick-connect system means you can reinstall the loaders in just as little time. This system can be used with either the manual or power hydraulic pump system. (Item No. LM34-HD-41400) |  | Hydraulic Roller Toe Boards – Compensate for the natural taper in logs with toe boards. Increase lumber yield, and increase the quality of your boards, by keeping the face of your cuts parallel to the grain. This is especially important when milling for grade. Each hydraulic roller toe board is equipped with a powerful hydraulic cylinder that can lift full-size logs up to 3 ½”. A pair of roller toe boards also makes repositioning logs along the mill easier thanks to rugged integrated steel rollers. Toe boards can be used with either the manual or power hydraulic pump systems. (Item No. LM34-HD-41285) |  | Hydraulic Log Turner – Rolling big logs is virtually effortless with the hydraulic log turner. A hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic motor give you separate control of vertical and rotation functions. Features dual-direction rotation – turn your log in either direction. Equipped with deep-toothed chain, the log turner bites hard into gnarly bark to maximize traction. Use the log turner to roll logs into position for the first, second and third cuts. The hydraulic log turner requires the power hydraulic pump system. (Item No. LM34-HD-41500) |  | Hydraulic Log Clamping System – Clamp logs with vise-like power with this combined hydraulic log rests and hydraulic log dog system. Raise and lower the twin log rests, simultaneously, simply by operating a single lever. Built of precision laser-cut ¾” steel, they can travel up to 12 ½” above the log deck to clamp full-size logs, and down as low as 7/8” above the log deck to mill boards within 1” of the bed. The four-way acting, dual-function, log dog not only gives you the dexterity, and power, to securely clamp even the biggest logs, the integrated four-way acting log dog can also be used to manipulate and turn cants. Because the log dog is not suitable for turning logs in the round, consider equipping your Pro with the hydraulic log turner to roll logs into position for the first, second and third cuts. The hydraulic log clamping system requires the power hydraulic pump system. (Item No. LM34-HD-41600) |  | Power Feed & Power Sawhead – From a single hand-held remote, direct 5 functions on your LM Pro’s sawhead: set the depth-of-cut, control the throttle, activate the blade lube system, engage the clutch, and power the carriage through the cut … all while standing comfortably at the head of your mill. Controlled by a 3-way momentary switch on the remote, the power drive motor with chain-drive system positively powers your saw carriage along the log deck, through the cut … and back. Adjust your feed rate, on-the-go, thanks to the speed-adjusting dial integrated right into the remote control … speed up, or slow down, as you’re cutting, so you get smooth boards, every time. The control panel is programmed to make all your power-feed transitions smooth – Stop n Forward, Stop n Reverse, and Forward n Reverse. From the same remote, activate the dedicated 3-way momentary switch to raise and lower the sawhead. (Item No. LM34-PSH-5000) |  | Board Return – If your LumberMate Pro is equipped with the remote-controlled power sawhead, you can boost production more by equipping your mill with the board return system. When you power the carriage back after making a cut, the steel drag-back fingers firmly, and steadily, return the board to the head of the mill. Just direct each board into your waiting trailer or lumber pile. (Item No. LM34-PSH-5010) | | IMPORTANT: All capacities and load figures cited may vary depending on the species, dimensions, weight distribution, and shape of each sawlog. Experience and good judgment required. | * Verify with your local vehicle licensing bureau / highway traffic regulations authority what licensing requirements and/or operational restrictions, if any, are applicable to towing the sawmill on public roads and highways in your jurisdiction. Some European jurisdictions prohibit towing the sawmill with the optional trailer package on public roads and highways or prescribe particular rules, requirements and speed limits.
