Sawmill Lap Siding Attachment

Traditionally, logs are first squared into cants on the sawmill and then stacked nearby. Later, a jig or fixture is attached to the sawmill track, and the cants are placed back onto this fixture to be cut into boards. This method involves multiple handling steps and requires tilting the fixture for each cut. At Woodland Mills, we’ve revolutionized this process with our lap siding attachment. Installed permanently on the sawmill head, it eliminates the need for removal. Operators can effortlessly tilt the entire sawmill head between indexing positions for angled cuts and secure it in place. After squaring the log into a cant, there’s no need to remove it for jig installation. Operators can adjust the saw head angle from their position, optimizing efficiency compared to walking to the side of the sawmill track. This accessory is compatible with Woodland Mills portable sawmills featuring the laser-cut plate 4-post design.
