Built To Mill

688cc V-Twin OHV engine delivers 25 net HP with 17-amp charging and electric key start. Fires the first turn, every time.

23-position locking handle dials in precise board thickness up to 7" — perfect cuts for any project.

Mill logs up to 36 inches across. Handles serious hardwood without bogging down.

Big red E-stop on top of the carriage kills the engine instantly in any emergency.

Adjust blade length to your log — full 36" live-edge boards on demand.

Two quick-lock spiral clamps hold logs rock-solid through every pass.

Setup took an afternoon with a buddy. Track is dead level and the spiral clamps grip logs rock-solid. Already paid for itself in lumber savings.

36-inch capacity is the real deal. Milled a 34" walnut butt log into 12/4 slabs with zero drama. Blade tension lever makes swaps quick.

Compared this to a Wood-Mizer LT35 side by side — cut quality is on par at less than half the price. The electric start is a game changer.

Extension track lets me handle 20-foot beams for a barn build. Water lube system keeps blades cool and cuts clean. Very impressed.
