The M7 Sawmill is Your Complete Milling Solution!
This proven sawmill can provide all the wood you need! The M7 sawmill processes full length commercial size logs, as well as smaller timber and even larger than normal logs. Sold around the world for over 20 years, this sawmill is now the best selling sawmill in the world. The M7 sawmill lets you control the milling of your material, and is light enough you can take it on-site. You can mill the tree in the forest and only bring out the milled material. You will be able to decide how you want to mill your logs, and make the best planks and boards suited for your building and woodworking needs.
Lightweight and Durable
The M7 sawmill lets you control the milling of your material, and it is light enough you can take it on-site. You can mill the tree where it has been felled and only bring out the boards and planks you have produced. You will be able to decide how you want to mill your logs, and make the best planks and boards suited for your building and woodworking needs.
This mill is also durable. Made of aircraft grade anodized aluminum, you can easily transport it and have it ready for milling without having to re-adjust it again. It will last for ages. Indeed, we have many M7 mills in operation after 20 years of service. It’s made to last outside in the weather.
Impressive Accuracy
Because of the sled/guide rail arrangement, the accuracy of our sawmill is very impressive. You can produce lumber of accurate dimensions from one end of the board to the other. This accuracy allows the user to saw a log into beams, boards, or thin sheets – whatever you wish! The guide bar on the chainsaw power-head is very rigid, which, along with our unique ripping chain, results in a flat smooth sawn surface. The surface of lumber coming from this sawmill will amaze you.Professional Results For The Beginner
The M7 sawmill is easily handled by one man. The sled assembly glides effortlessly along a stable guide rail. There is nothing like the satisfaction of producing your own lumber using your own sawmill. Logs are lifted with a turn of the hand-operated crank that is supported by maintenance free bronze bearings. Visible and audible (listen for the clicks) measurement gradations permit the adjusting of the sawmills settings to be both easy and accurate.
Each sawmill comes with a detailed instruction manual. The one man sawmill is made from anodized aluminum that is resistant to corrosion, is lightweight, and yet very durable. The guide rails smooth surface has a low friction coefficient, is easy to clean, and requires minimal maintenance.
Logosol utilizes a thinner guide bar and chain which contributes to significantly faster sawing. The result of using a thinner guide bar and chain is that the cut taken is only insignificantly wider than the same cut produced by a circular sawmill. We recommend having a supply of four to five sharpened chains for your project. It is our experience that one sharp chain should saw approximately four to five logs. Having four sharp chains on hand should be sufficient for one day’s work.
Recommended Power-Heads
We recommend that you equip the sawmill with either a Stihl MS660 or Husqvarna 385XP gas chainsaw, or a Logosol electric chainsaw. The Logosol mill is unique in that if you equip your sawmill with a gas chainsaw, you can use the power-head to fell and cut the tree to length. Then you can use the same power-head to mill the lumber.
With an electric chainsaw by Logosol as a power-head for the M7 sawmill, you get increased performance, and a quieter running mill, along with the absence of gas fumes, and happier neighbors. The Logosol Electric Power-Heads offer reliable, powerful service.

Handles most sizes
The sawmill can work with all standard shape logs up to 5 m (16.5 ft) length. Extensions are available to easily add length to process longer logs. 50 cm (1.5 ft) extensions are normally added to provide extra length and support for longer logs. The low profile ripping chain is available in 40 cm (16"), 50 cm (20”) and 63 cm (25”) cutting lengths to handle most log diameters (even longer chains and bars can be used to handle those extra large logs). Logs too large to place on the sawmill can be cut by other versatile cutting techniques using the M7 sawmill. These include the use of heavy duty log decks, and even mounting the sawmill on the log.Quick Assembly
The mill, when assembled, will cut accurately. Because of the high quality and precision of the parts, none of the angles need setting. The only adjustment required is for the cutting height and once that is set, the mill is accurate in all dimensions.Portable
The entire sawmill is made of anodized extruded aluminum and weighs only 52 kg (115 lbs) - it can easily be carried by one person and transported on the back of your pick-up to remote areas. Move the mill, not the logs.Strong construction
Made of anodized, extruded aluminum, the mill is extremely strong for its size, easily supporting and lifting over ten times its weight. The aluminum is of the highest quality available, in the same class as that used for aircraft construction.Ergonomic construction
This mill is designed with the operator in mind. Everything is at the right height for long hours of operation without back strain. It is easy to use - no pushing the saw through the wood.Easy maintenance
The M7 is rust proof - all parts are weather resistant. Anodized aluminum, stainless steel bolts and nylon slides are used in the construction. There is very little to break, adjust or wear out in this mill.The work site
The logs are best handled on a log deck and the sawmill is designed to allow the logs to be rolled directly from the log deck onto the log bed and to be sawn at a comfortable working height.Accurate sawing
The log is placed on two log shelves which can be moved up and down. One end of the log is held in place by a spiked bumper. The saw runs on a straight guide rail and saws the log very accurately. The special ripping chain and blade allows the chain saw to cut straight with very high accuracy even in low grade quality saw logs. No "band-saw waves" result when cutting with the M7.Smooth surface finish
The surface is so smooth on lumber finished with the M7, it can be finished with a belt sander. With the ease of log handling and positioning, using the independent log bed suspension, you can maximize the cutting of the log to produce the best lumber for your projects.
Unique, low-profile ripping chain
The chain used on this sawmill is manufactured by the world's leading chainsaw manufacturer and has been proven as a reliable cutting solution. This unique ripping chain produces an amazingly smooth surface. The narrow chain takes only 6 mm (¼") kerf. Easily sharpened, these chains will last through 3000 bd. Ft of cutting.
Safe
This sawmill has been designed with safety in mind. The chain pulls the wood against the bed, firmly holding it in place while cutting. The use of the mill involves both hands, keeping the possibility of accidents at a minimum.Independent log bed suspension
The two Log beds move up and down, separately allowing for easy leveling of the log to achieve the most productive cut. This feature also provides the ability to produce tapered and angle cuts.Log bed raises in two increments
You can easily switch from 6 mm (¼”) to 3 mm (1/8") increments to produce lumber to the accuracy desired. Three pulleys combined with a nylon poly line provide maximum lifting capacity for each log support. The M7 easily lifts a log weighing up to 500 kg (1100 lbs).Instruction manual
Each M7 comes with a 34 page instruction manual complete with instructions for assembly, setup, and lumber cutting. A full parts listing, maintenance information, and safety instructions are included in the manual.

"The majority of owners of our sawmills think that the best thing with the sawmill is the satisfaction you feel when sawing up your own timber. You will feel it yourself, when the first batch of sawn material is stacked for drying. Furthermore, your coffee will taste better when you're sitting on your home-made porch, made of planks which you yourself have sawn . At least it feels that way." |
