Fast and fully-loaded with high-production features, the LT70 super hydraulic portable sawmill is engineered for sawyers that demand high-production sawing from a portable sawmill day in and day out. The LT70 is fully-loaded with engine-powered hydraulic log handling and head controls, pedestal remote control station with joystick controls, deluxe board return with outfeed table, debarker, LubeMizer blade lubrication, and more.
The LT70 super hydraulic is completely portable and ready for road travel with a standard single axle trailer and electric brakes. Six fine-adjust outriggers allow for quick set-up and precise leveling of the bed prior to sawing. The patented open side of the LT70 hydraulic sawhead allows for minimal leveling during set-up, easy off-bearing with the trapezoid shaped bed, and sawing of odd shaped logs.
Operation
Logs are loaded and turned hydraulically with loading arms and a heavy-duty bi-directional chain log turner for maximum log control. Logs are secured onto the bed by four side supports (two hydraulically controlled vertical supports for fast positioning) and a heavy-duty hydraulic log clamp. Two hydraulic roller toeboards assist with precise leveling of the log on the bed for tapered logs. Dual hydraulic pumps allow for up to twice as fast hydraulic log handling than the standard hydraulic portable sawmills. Engine-powered hydraulics efficiently control all head and bed functions through the use of high-performance horizontal and vertical energy chains. The operator can be set up at either end of the sawmill with the pedestal remote control station. Two joysticks control all head and bed functions of the sawmill including side supports, log clamp, log turner, toeboards, blade guide arm, and debarker. The joysticks can also control additional accessories such as log decks and incline conveyors. Similar to Accuset2 setworks, the control panel calculates board thickness to quickly and accurately position the sawing head automatically for the next cut while maximizing the yield per log. Once the blade is engaged with an auto clutch, the saw head advances through the log with the power feed control that includes variable speed for optimal sawing control. Once the cut is completed, the saw head is raised and reversed by the powered saw head controls and positioned for the next cut. LubeMizer blade lubrication features an adjustable electronic flow controller and pump that applies a special lubricating solution to both sides of the blade in order to melt away sap that can slow down the blade while sawing. Deluxe board return fingers and a 3' x 5' outfeed table assists with offbearing boards. A debarker helps extend blade life between sharpenings by clearing a ¼” wide path in front of the sawmill blade’s cut entry. The adjustable blade guide arm keeps the blade well supported while cutting various sized material. Blade tension is easily adjusted, and keeps the blade at the proper tension for cutting.

The LT70 super hydraulic portable sawmill comes fully assembled with one Wood-Mizer sawmill blade. Free one-on-one sawmill training by an experienced service representative is included during your Wood-Mizer location pick up or home delivery. With a 30-day money back guarantee, 2-year sawmill warranty, and 5-year chassis warranty, the LT70 super hydraulic is backed by the same level of service, quality and safety features shared by the entire family of Wood-Mizer wood processing equipment.
Saw 36" diameter logs into wide slabs and boards up to 35-1/2" using accurate and easy-to-use powered saw head controls (forward/reverse & up/down) with the LX150 twin rail portable sawmill! Designed for hobbyists and professional sawyers, the highly durable bed configuration, optional SimpleSet Setworks, and optional Debarker make the LX150 a high performing manual sawmill with features not available anywhere else in its class.
From raw steel to fabrication, forming, welding, paint, assembly and final inspection, our dedicated employees at the Wood-Mizer owned and operated factory in the heart of the Midwest USA have been manufacturing premium quality Wood-Mizer equipment at a low cost to you since 1982.
Widest In-Class Cutting Capacity
The LX150 features the widest in-class cutting capacity for sawing 36” diameter logs into 35-1/2” wide boards up to 18’ 5" in length with a 11” max depth of cut. Optional 6’ 1" bed extensions for sawing longer lengths are available with no practical limit. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, the log clamp and built in bed side support allow for final cuts within 1” of the sawmill bed so you get the most usable lumber out of every log.
Heavy-Duty Twin Rail Construction
The LX frame holds the control panel, engine, and the sawmill head in a rigid, stable structure. Twin parallel hardened steel rods on the bed provide a smooth and stable track for the saw head to travel on. The durable steel bed is designed to withstand continuous sawing and the weight requirement of larger logs. Convenient raised cross sections on the bed enable easy loading of logs with a forklift or tractor, without having to drop or roll logs onto the saw bed.
Reliable Gas or Diesel Power
Reliable power options are available including 25HP gas or 24HP diesel engines for sawing outdoors. The powerful and dependable Kohler Command Pro 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.
Powered Saw Head Up/Down & Forward/Reverse
The saw head controls feature powered up/down and forward/reverse for ease of operation and increased production.
Powered Blade Guide Arm and Blade Engage
Reduce blade travel and support the blade when sawing narrow and wide material with the powered blade guide arm that is adjusted from the control console for operator convenience and precision. Engage the sawmill blade with one handle that engages the mechanical clutch and throttles the engine at the same time.
Gravity Fed Blade Lubrication
Keep the blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the gravity-fed blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade.
Hydraulic Blade Tensioning
Keep your sawmill blades properly tensioned for longer blade life and enhanced sawing performance with hydraulic blade tensioning.
Two Quick-Set Log Clamps
Constructed of solid tube steel, the quick-set log clamps tightly fasten logs for sawing and are adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. The log clamps use an acme thread screw for better durability, rust-resistant powder-coat paint, 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.
Three Adjustable Steel Side Supports
Three durable steel side supports are adjustable up/down to stabilize logs during loading, sawing, and turning logs. Each side support is mounted on the bed and includes rust-resistant powder-coat paint for durability. An additional built-in bed side support on each cross section eliminates the need for adjustable side supports while sawing a squared cant and allows for final cuts within 1” of the bed.
Adjustable Bed Leveling Feet
Sixteen adjustable bed leveling feet are included with every LX150 sawmill for simple leveling of the bed. Additional LX150 bed extensions also include adjustable feet to help keep your sawmill bed level at any sawing length.
Easy Shipping and Assembly
The LX150 portable sawmill ships on a single pallet, comes with one Wood-Mizer sawmill blade, and requires minimal assembly time so you can start sawing within a few hours of receiving your sawmill.
