The portability and versatile design of the
Mobile Dimension Saw make it adaptable to virtually any work
site. And, it gives you a choice: take the sawmill to the
log, or bring the log to the sawmill. With the Mobile Dimension
Saw you have a choice: you can choose one or the other or
both.
The Standard Sawmill Using the Board and
Block Method of Operation
 The
standard sawmill, with its detachable two-wheel trailer is
ideal for use in hard-to-get-to or environmentally sensitive
areas; in locations where the logs are too scattered or too
large to be easily moved; or when no log handling equipment
is available or able to move the logs.
This forest giant that is over 9 feet (2.75
m) in diameter has been set up with the board and block method.
The light end of the sawmill has been placed on the set up
board and the saw engine is powering the saw carriage up the
track to the saw starting point.
The positioning of the
sawmill was easy because the engine and saw carriage provided
the counter-weight to lift the opposite end of the track
onto the log. Each set-up board position determines the height
of the sawed lumber. The saw will cut the log by moving across
the board. It will then be lowered to the next board to continue
the sawing operation.
Standard Sawmill Operation
 The
standard sawmill is quickly and easily moved from log
to log with the small two-wheeled trailer. It can be
moved by any motor device or by one person. |
 The
log is prepared by simply stacking boards and spacer
blocks at each end of the log. Different dimensions are
obtained by various size spacer blocks. The boards are
attached to the log with lag bolts. The special tools
to set up the board and block method of sawing are included
with the saw. |
 Once
the board and block frame is completed, one man can easily
position the track on the board. |
 The
engine and saw carriage is transferred to the starting
end of the track. The weight of the two units will now
counterweight the track weight. |
 The
track is now easily lifted by one man and placed on the
other end of the framework. |
 The
sawmill has been transferred from the trailer to the
log and is ready to saw the complete log. Once the log
has been sawed the sawmill can be transferred back to
the trailer by reversing the sequence. |
