Description
The LT15 portable sawmill features a cutting capacity for sawing 28″ diameter logs into 26″ wide boards up to 17′ 8″ in length with optional 6′ 8″ extensions for sawing longer lengths. Built in the USA with premium quality steel and industrial-grade powder coat paint, the LT15 adds durability with a steel box bed frame and features gas, diesel, or electric sawmill options, a quick up/down sawhead, gravity-fed blade lubrication, steel side supports, steel log clamps, optional saw head power feed, optional GO trailer, and more for a portable sawmill that is versatile, reliable and trusted throughout the world
Large In-Class Sawing Capacity
Saw softwood and hardwood logs up to 28” in diameter with a 26” width of cut and a 10-½” depth of cut – more than enough capacity for most logs you’ll come across.
Reliable Power with Gas, Diesel, or Electric
Versatile and reliable power options are available to fit your needs. For portable and outdoor sawing, 19HP or 25HP gas and 10HP or 17HP diesel engines with electric start are available. A 10HP electric motor is also available for sawing indoors in a garage or workshop with a single or three-phase connection.
Quick Sawhead Up/Down with Crank Handle
Quickly and accurately move the sawhead up and down to prepare for sawing with the crank handle and lift assist. Easily turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise with 32 locking locations to adjust the blade depth 2” for each full rotation or 1/16” for each notch to prepare for the next cut. A quarter scale is also included for sawing 8/4”, 6/4”, 5/4”, and 4/4” lumber.
Precision Sawing with Thin-Kerf Sawmill Blades
Engage the sawmill blade with the convenient pull handle that engages the mechanical clutch and automatically throttles the engine at the same time. The LT15 sawmill uses 158” length sawmill blades. We recommend having at least 10 sawmill blades on hand to minimize sawing downtime when sharpening blades. With the ability to saw as precise as 1/16” with the thin-kerf sawmill blade, you get the most usable lumber out of every log.
High-Performance Sawing with Blade Guide Rollers
High-performance blade guide rollers provide extra support and stability for sawmill blades to saw accurately and consistently compared to blade guide blocks. In addition to continuously feeding the blades, the blade guide rollers apply downward pressure on the blade while sawing for better cut quality. Sawmill blades run on belted 19″ diameter cast iron band wheels for additional stability in the cut.
Clean Blades with Gravity-Fed Blade Lubrication
Keep the sawmill blade cool and free of pitch, sap, and sawdust while sawing with the gravity-fed blade lubrication that applies directly to the blade. A water tank conveniently located close to the operator is easy to refill and features an on/off valve for consistently distributing lubrication to the blade.
Extra Durable Sawmill Bed with Box Steel Rails and Cross Sections
The sawmill bed adds extra strength and durability where it counts with box steel bed rails and cross sections featuring wide top surface areas for better weight distribution and easier log handling. Each cross section is welded to the bed rails for added stability. In addition, the entire sawmill bed is painted and constructed of the same premium solid steel throughout the bed to last for years, not seasons.
Secure Logs with 2 Quick-Set Log Clamps
Constructed of strong tube steel, two quick-set log clamps tightly fasten logs for sawing and are adjustable up/down and in/out as material is cut. The log clamp uses an acme thread screw for better durability and a clamp point block for an extra grip on a round log or squared cant. Each log clamp is able to move between other cross sections and additional log clamps are available as needed.
Premium Quality Manufacturing

Easy Shipping and Assembly
The LT15 portable sawmill ships on a single pallet and requires minimal assembly time so you can start sawing within a few hours of receiving your sawmill.
Optional GO Trailer
GO completely portable by adding the GO Trailer to your LT15 portable sawmill. Complete with a durable steel frame, single axle, two wheels, two fenders, set of 6 adjustable outriggers, lights, and hitch, the GO Trailer allows sawing logs directly on the trailer with the ability to easily hook-up and GO to your next sawing site.
Optional Power Feed
Power up your LT15 portable sawmill with an efficient power feed system. This easy-to-use, bolt-on, electronic control replaces the manual crank feed and allows you to move the saw head forward and reverse with 12 volt power for more production with less effort. In addition, a power feed improves the quality of the cut by providing a consistent, even feed speed that yields the best surface on lumber. Forward saw head speed is variable up to 90 feet per minute with the simple turn of a dial and the reverse saw head control is one speed.
John Woodson –
The LT15 Portable Sawmill is an absolute beast for its size! I’ve been using it for several projects now, and it’s proven to be efficient, reliable, and easy to use. What I love the most is its versatility—I’ve milled everything from small logs to large hardwoods with precision. The assembly was straightforward, and the performance is top-notch for its price range. I highly recommend it for any small to mid-size lumber operations or DIY enthusiasts looking for high-quality cuts without breaking the bank.

I’ve owned the LT15 Portable Sawmill for about a year, and I’m extremely impressed with its durability and performance. I run a small farm, and the sawmill has been perfect for processing timber from my own land. It’s very portable, which makes it easy to move around the property, and the cutting precision is excellent. The machine is built to last and requires very little maintenance. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, the LT15 is a great investment for turning logs into lumber efficiently
