Product Features
DEPENDABLE POWER SOURCE
The HM126 is powered by a reliable 9.5 HP or 14 HP recoil start 4-cycle Kohler gas/petrol engine. It features a slant cylinder design with a cast iron cylinder bore and an overhead valve for easy access. The Quad-Clean 4-stage air filtration system ensures only clean air enters the engine for maximum power and life of the engine. The industrial centrifugal clutch offers easy gas-and-go operation. Backed by a 3-year Kohler commercial warranty.
HEAVY-DUTY 4-POST CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY
Our heavy-duty 4 post head design is reinforced with a back beam and welded top tubular crossbeam. The assembly is anchored between our precision laser-cut carriage side plates, to provide exceptional rigidity, and ensure smooth, accurate cuts.
PATENTED GAS AND GO AUTO LUBE SYSTEM
Every one of our sawmills features a gas and go auto lube system. This means the throttle handle engages the engine RPM, saw blade and patented auto lube system simultaneously. This system makes the process of cutting lumber quick and efficient and reduces the number of steps required by the operator.
ALUMINUM LUBRICANT TANK
Our sawmills are equipped with a weather-resistant aluminum lubricant tank, ensuring long-lasting performance in the most adverse conditions. The tank's needle valve allows precise control over the flow to the auto lube valve, enabling fine-tuning as needed.
CONSTANT-PRESSURE U-BUSHINGS
We’ve designed a unique constant-pressure U-bushing that facilitates a positive connection between the sawhead and the carriage posts while allowing the sawhead to move up and down smoothly. The U-bushings are constructed from glass-filled nylon, giving them a long service life.
RAPIDCHANGE BLADE SYSTEM
The RapidChange blade system is exclusive to Woodland Mills. RapidChange is a tool-less approach for changing blades quickly that reduces the need for blade tracking adjustments between blade changes. Stacked Belleville washers act as a shock absorber for the blade while giving consistent blade tension in all temperatures, ensuring less stress on the blades.
DUAL RACE BEARING CARRIAGE WHEELS
The sawhead's carriage wheels have a dual race bearing. This provides the best connection between the rolling wheel and the track surface, to ensure stability from the wheels to the track to the sawhead. The radius profile in the groove and the square-topped tracks are designed to wear together to make a matched set over time. To keep the track free from debris, stainless steel wire sweepers clean the track while in use.
PRE-ASSEMBLED SAWHEAD
To reduce your assembly time, we carefully pre-assemble key components of the sawhead. Having the advantage of pre-assembled parts help you get up and running faster, saving you valuable time.
POWDER-COATED STEEL BLADE GUARDS
Our blade guards are built with durable, powder-coated metal for resilience and longevity. For added convenience during sawhead maintenance or blade changes, the guards are side hinged, allowing them to easily move out of the way and provide unobstructed access.
ADJUSTABLE THROTTLE CONFIGURATION
Our adjustable throttle assembly offers complete customization for individual needs. You can position both the throttle and push handle according to your preference based on track height, ensuring a comfortable operating experience.
EXPANDABLE TRACK SYSTEM
Our mills are designed to cut logs up to 3.1 m (10' 5") long using the standard track configuration. You can unlock unlimited length potential by adding optional 1.95 m (6' 5") track extensions. These extensions come with an extra log clamp assembly, log support, and required bunks, allowing you to customize the cutting length to your specific requirements.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Tailor your sawmill to suit your specific needs and maximize efficiency with our optional accessories. Choose from a comprehensive lineup of equipment, including a lapsiding attachment for added versatility, and a selection of log handling tools. Every one of our accessories is designed to make your job easier and expand the capabilities of your equipment.
GO MOBILE WITH WOODLANDER TRAILER PACKAGE
Move your HM126 between locations with the Woodlander trailer. Packaged together, the HM126 Woodlander trailer gives you a better working height and provides you with mobility to bring the sawmill to different work sites or easily move into storage. Levelling jacks are provided so you can quickly level the trailer and tracks when deployed.
AUTO-LOCKING SAWHEAD
The auto-locking sawhead ensures precise and consistent control. Simply push the handle in and rotate through 16 locking locations to move the sawhead up or down. Coupled with an acme lead screw, you’ll get precise adjustments accurate to within 0.4 mm (1/64”). Traditional magnetic log scale rulers are also included to line up precision cuts.
AUTO-LOCKING ADJUSTABLE BLADE GUIDE
The premium Auto-Locking Adjustable Blade Guide is constructed using stainless steel V-rollers and a matched machined aluminum arm to keep guides close to the wood being cut and reduce blade wander. It comes standard on the 14 HP HM126 model.
PRECISION MACHINED RIGID TRACK SYSTEM
The HM126 sawmill head rolls along a rigid 63 mm x 101 mm (2.5" x 4") L-channel, which is cross-supported with heavy-duty 76 mm x 152 mm (3" x 6") rectangular log bunks. These cross supports ensure the weight of the log is dispersed over a large bearing surface to avoid marking the log with indentation and provide additional rigidity to the track system. The track also features a simple adjustable quick lock log clamp to securely hold the log while milling. The track itself consists of two 1.95 m (6' 5") sections allowing for 3.1 m (10' 5") log lengths. Additional 1.95 m (6' 5") tracks can be attached to accommodate logs of any length. The track comes with 12 levelling legs with up to 10 cm (4") of adjustment.
HIGH SPEED MACHINE BALANCED BANDWHEELS
Balanced using a high-speed machining process, our bandwheels ensure optimal consistency, minimizing vibrations and maximizing efficiency. Our bandwheels deliver cleaner, more accurate cuts with reduced blade deflection and increased durability.
THIN KERF BLADES
The HM126 utilizes 32 mm x 3660 mm x 1.0 mm (1.25" x 144" x 0.042") hardened tipped blades, which are available through Woodland Mills. Blade kerf is kept to a minimum at just 2 mm (0.080") to maximize the most amount of lumber per log.
PRECISION CUTTING
The HM126 can cut 66 cm (26") diameter logs and mill live edge boards up to 61 cm (24") wide. Cut logs 3.1 m (10' 5") long with the standard track configuration, or unlock unlimited length potential with optional 1.95 m (6' 5") track extensions. The HM126 can skim veneers as thin as 2 mm (1/16"), and cut within 25 mm (1") of the deck, ensuring you maximize your usable board foot output.
