Hello,

 

The F2 is pressure tested for 1000kg and we recommend to keep the maximum weights to between 500-600kg since you always get a bump when you turn the log after the first off cuts.

In terms of diameter the biggest logs you can load will be around 600mm. The log lifters are 500mm wide and you want to be able to use the clamps to secure the log. I have added a picture of when I cut a decent sized cherry log.

 

We are in the works with a larger sawbench which will be called the F2+ that will replace the M8. With that sawbench you will able to cut logs with a diameter of about 700mm. We are looking to launch this model in March or April.

 

 

Kind Regards,

Morning Per. Nice to see you on here.

if size of the log is putting you off, there is a way to mount the mill to the log and work things upside down, sounds daft doesnt it, but it does work, I've used this way to knock down some massive bits of beech with my M7, at full log bunk retraction you can take a 16" cut, width ......how long is your bar (36" in my case), and by taking 4 cuts, squaring off the round, (rolling the tree rather than trying to roll it on the mill, you end up with  a square cant and 4 slabs of a "workable" size, ok an alaskan, or a big mill might have been easier, but then straight into dimmensional lumber without to much grief is what makes the logosol so handy.......I now use mine for mostly the bigger  stuff  24"-36"  to produce cants for the bandsaw, really speeds things up

For big stuff I use the Logosol timberjig

I think I will wait until this is released , a beefed up f2 would be good.
700 mm would be reasonable.
What sort of weight will it be able to cope with ?

Thanks

Greetings,

 

I have been happy using my Logosol F2plus for a few months and it worked surprisingly well but have now taken delivery of a bandsaw as an upgrade and I must let it go. 

Already assembled and can be collected in sections from Norfolk NR10

 

Anyone interested?
