Norwood Lumbermate 2000 Sawmill

Mobile sawmill with lots of upgrades

This is an earlier model than the current one, and is built far heavier and stronger than the current model. The log bunks are 6”x2” steel box, whereas today’s model is just a steel pressing, for example.

This sawmill was fitted with many upgrades from new, as below:-

·       23hp vee-twin electric-start engine – the largest available

·       Road tow kit – turns a static mill into a go-anywhere mobile sawmill.

·       Log loading kit, consisting of a set of ramps on one side and a winch on the other.

·       1½” blade system - wider blade than normal for better cutting.

·       Extended bed – now 24’ in length, giving a loading capacity of 20’ x 36” log

·       Quick dog kit – allows cutting right down to the last ¾” board so no wood is wasted.

The mill has capacity for a log 20’ long by 3’ diameter, and this allows for cutting a maximum board width of 26”, which I can say I have done many times and the motor copes with that without difficulty.

The sawmill can be towed by any car as it is well under the 750kg weight limit for unbraked trailers. It tows well and is surprisingly easy to manoeuvre. I have often taken it out on location where you can set up beside a fallen tree and mill it in situ.

I am the second owner and had it set up at my farm where I cut timber for many customers. Seems that as soon as it’s known that you have a mill, everyone wants something cut on it! I recouped my initial investment within the first year after I bought it.

The mill has been in dry storage in a lock-up, as shown in two of the pictures, and will need a couple of hours to re-commission it.

I have included a selection of pictures of work done during my ownership.

Also included is a comprehensive build and parts manual from the manufacturer.

 This sawmill was fitted with many upgrades from new, as below:-

·       Road tow kit – turns a static mill into a go-anywhere mobile sawmill.

·       Log loading kit, consisting of a set of ramps on one side and a winch on the other.

·       1½” band system - wider blade than normal for straighter sawing in wide boards.

·       Extended bed – now 24’ in length, giving a loading capacity of 20’ x 36” log

·       Quick dog kit – allows sawing right down to the last ¾” board so no wood is wasted.

    Also included are a large amount of bands for cutting both hardwoods and softwoods. Some of these are either new or used once and all can be sharpened many times. Any woodmizer dealer should be able to service your bands.
