The Endstand Option
 To increase production -
and simplify operations - Mobile Manufacturing Company also
offers endstands that allow the operator to raise and lower
all four corners of the sawmill at one time - from the operator’s
position at the head of the saw - without constructing a
board-and-block framework. The smaller diameter of trees
in many regions today results in a majority of our customers
utilizing this system.
 Available with either a hand crank or an efficient
motorized control system, endstands can be raised and lowered
quickly and easily.
Endstands are available in a variety of heights
to accommodate logs of any diameter. Endstands can be mounted
on a framework constructed at your cutting site, installed
on a trailer you build yourself, or placed on a portable
endstand trailer built by Mobile Manufacturing Co.

The Mobile Dimension Saw delivers all the power
you need.
 The
Mobile Dimension Saw offers two different power options to
fit different sawing requirements. The power unit recommended
will depend on a number of factors - log species, climate,
altitude at the cutting site, dimensions being cut and level
of production desired. A 57-horsepower Volkswagen engine
- modified to reduce weight and improve performance in adverse
operating environments - is standard equipment on the Mobile
Dimension Saw. This lightweight yet powerful economical gasoline
engine is also available in a 67-horsepower model. All engines
are completely assembled in our own plant and modified using
purchased original equipment parts and parts manufactured
by Mobile Manufacturing Company. In thousands of hours of
operation in every kind of climate, these engines have proven
to be exceedingly reliable, requiring only routine maintenance
and minimal care.
Extensive modification to the cooling, fuel
system and crankshaft provide unmatched reliability and economy
in even the harshest environments. One gallon (3.7 L) of
regular gasoline cuts from 500 to 2000 board feet (1.2 to
4.8 m3) of lumber depending on the species and dimensions
being sawed. The gasoline engine is easily removed and reinstalled
on the sawmill, so it can be used to power other equipment
such as planers, table saws, pumps or electric power generators.
These engines are equipped with U.S. Forest Service-approved
spark arrestors and a detachable gas tank.
Electric Powered Mobile Dimension Saw
 The
Mobile Dimension Saw is also available with electric motors.
For operations that have adequate electric power available
and equipment to deliver the logs to the cutting site, the
electric powered model is the saw to use. Assuming other
factors - dimensions cut, log species, and operator efficiency
- remain the same, the electric powered Mobile Dimension
Saw is capable of producing up to 3 times the lumber produced
by the gasoline powered models. Each saw shaft is powered
by it’s own
motor. The main saw by a 25 hp motor and the edger saws by
a 15 hp motor. The work cycle of the sawing operation allows
these motors to perform at three times their rated horsepower.
Maintenance requirements for electric motors are minimal.
So if you intend to install a Mobile Dimension Saw at a permanent
site with access to electric power or if you have a generator,
consider the electric motor option. It will pay off in greater
production, low maintenance and lower operating costs.
Electric Sawmills can be set up in one location
with commercial power or can remain portable and use a generator.
All Mobile Dimension Saw models come with two main guard
saw dust discharge chutes.

Hydrostatic
feed control
The operator has complete control of the Mobile
Dimension Saw throughout the sawing sequence. The variable-speed
hydrostatic controls give the operator positive, fingertip
control of the complete sawing cycle from a stationary position
at the head of the saw. The forward-neutral-reverse movement
and fast-to-slow feed rate may be changed at any time and
as often as you wish. So you can move into and out of knots,
twisted wood grain, or from softwood to hardwood and still
maintain optimum production.
Hydrostatic control provides more feed speed
options with fewer moving parts involved in the feedworks
system. The hydrostatic unit is sealed and self contained,
and has an excellent record of giving years of dependable
service with very little maintenance. This unit goes along
with Mobile Dimension Saw’s modular construction
practice that makes it extremely easy to field maintain and
replace parts with little or no special training.
