The Sawmill Shootout 1999 - Logosol enters the scene


This was the first time a chainsaw mill was competing with bandsaws, many at a price 10 times as high!

Most of the sawmills at the competition were bandsaws, the cheapest cost double the Logosol. Logosol participaded with the Logosol M5, an earlier version of the now popular M7.

Champions league

12 of the world’s top portable sawmills was there. Saturday afternoon, May 15, Logosol was right in the middle of the battle, going head to head with portable band saws costing thousands of dollars more than the Logosol Swedish Mill. Rob and Martin cut 182 board feet of lumber per hour, beating some of the bandsaw mills!

They didn't take home the title to this shootout challenge, but, they certainly showed what the Swedish Mill can do. They chose some of the worst logs that were on the competition pile, logs that other competitors ignored, to show the versatility of the Swedish Mill. This was a 6.6 hp chainsaw mill going against other mills that were running up to 40 hp diesel engines.

Logosol Crew Volunteers for Ugly Wood

Rob explains that at the 1st Annual Great Portable Sawmill Shootout, pre-contest meeting, there was one log that no one wanted to take. The contest sponsors had only so many logs and one of them was particularly bad. Rather than assign it to someone, they asked for volunteers to take it. Rob raised his hand, and volunteered for the log. However, instead of one bad log, they got 4 "ugly" logs.

Result: 182 BF/HR

Logosol produced 182 BF/HR and the winning $31.000 Wood-Mizer 725 BF/HR. If the price of the Logosol was divided with the cost of purchase, the Logosol value is $14/BF/HR and WoodMizer $42/BF/HR.

Martin, in his interview with Sawmill and Woodlot Management Magazine, explains that the Swedish Mill is there to show how easy it is to produce quality lumber without having to make a huge investment in equipment. As you can see from the charts on the next page, the Swedish Mill would win if the competition were for the lowest price sawmill. Plus, you don't need a $30,000 vehicle to transport it.

Not only did the Swedish Mill beat some of the other mills on the time it took to saw the logs, all of the 1" boards it produced were accepted by the certified lumber grader. The Sawmills had to produce lumber of a correct size and dimension in order for the planks to be counted in the total score.

Our two Sawmill Shootout competitors were Rob Bjorklund and Martin Hall. They are really excited about the results, and immediately started to make plans for the next competition!
