Directory of Portable Sawmills Directory of Portable Sawmills Portable Sawmills: a directory of manufacturers. Charles E. Clément, PhD Extension Specialist Louisiana Forest Products Development Center School of Renewable Natural Resources LSU AgCenter Baton Rouge, LA 70803 [email protected] Ph. (225) 578-4158 There is an increasing interest in portable sawmills. With the growing emphasis on renewable energy, green building and carbon sequestration, more people are concerned about making environmentally conscious choices. Whether it is timber that was blown down by strong winds, property maintenance or sale of valuable timber, the use of a portable sawmill offers the convenience of personalized service and tailored processing. Finding a portable sawmill for hire or for purchase can be confusing. To facilitate the process, we have compiled a directory of manufacturers that have distribution in Louisiana. This directory can be used to gather manufacturer information if you are considering purchasing, and the companies can be contacted directly to get a contact list of sawmill operators located within a certain radius of a selected zip code. The top three largest-selling portable sawmill manufacturers (based on Internet sales) are: 1. ENERCRAFT/BAKER has more than 27 years combined experience in manufacturing sawmill equipment. Through continuous improvements to the equipment, Enercaft is a leader in the industry for both portable band sawmills and band resaws. • The Wood Buddy is a basic sawmill designed to turn fallen timber (up to 28 inches) into boards and squares • The Model 18HD/HP/M are sawmills that produce material for the farm or construction or people want to make extra money on the side but yet are on a budget. • The Model 3638G is an affordable heavy-duty portable sawmill that can tackle logs up to 36 inches in diameter. • The Model Blue Streak beefed up the Model 3638 sawmill with a 2-inch band blade and a 65-HP Cummins diesel engine Enercraft/Baker Sawmills can be reached at: www.baker-online.com Tel: 800-548-6914 2. TIMBERKING is one of the largest portable sawmill manufacturers in the United States. TimberKing offers three different models to serve three very different needs: 1 • The 1220 mill is suited to small, occasional cutting projects on the farm or at a hunting or fishing camp. • The 1600 has more productive capacity with features like hydraulic power feed, hydraulic blade up/down and available hydraulic log loaders. • The B-20 is the choice for using a mill as part of a full-time business venture. TimberKing can be reached at: www.timberking.com Tel: 800-942-4406 3. WOOD-MIZER is the largest-seller of portable sawmills in the United States. This Indianapolis, Indiana, company has been in business for over 20 years with years of experience and thousands of manufactured mills. No other company can match Wood-Mizer's selection of mills. They offer two small personal- sized mills for small weekend jobs, four professional-sized mills for increased production using larger logs and industrial-strength bandsaw mills that can match circular saws in productivity.

  • Portable Sawmill - Our Guide to an Economic and Practical Approach to Forest Utilization
    PORTABLE SAWMILL - OUR GUIDE TO AN ECONOMIC AND PRACTICAL APPROACH TO FOREST UTILIZATION By L.S.T. (Stan) Griffiths1 Abstract For many years the coconut palm has been to many the tree of life. Not only has it provided food and drink, but, shelter and heat. It is therefore understandable the reasons why there is some reluctance to destroy this commodity that, has served them so well, howev'er senile and unproductive. In this modern world with its rapidly diminishing lumber supplies due to indiscriminate logging, overcutting, slash and burn cultivation and the creeping sprawl of cities into rural areas where trees make way for roads and progress, it is little wonder that conservationists have taken up the cause to halt or control further diminishing of native forests. The shortage that has been created of millable timber has increased costs for building materials so alternatives have to be sought. Throughout tropical territories, an abundance of timber is available in the form of the coconut palm, that has many properties that can fill many of our lumber needs. Being a relatively new product compared with traditional timbers, new methods have to be discovered to process, market and use cocowood to its best advantage. I have attempted to put together a comprehensive paper outlining basic machinery to process coconut palm, from the standing tree to a finished product suitable for everyday needs. Cocowood Felling and Processing The felling of coconut palm stems is sometimes very difficult, as many plantations have young or producing trees in the immediate vicinity requiring care to be taken not to damage them.

  • Farm Mechanics
    Farm Mechanics MACHINERY AND ITS USE TO SAVE HAND LABOUR ON THE FARM Including Tools, Shop Work, Driving and Driven Machines, Farm Waterworks, Care and Repair of Farm Implements By HERBERT A. SHEARER AGRICULTURIST Author of “Farm Buildings with Plans and Descriptions” ILLUSTRATED WITH THREE HUNDRED ORIGINAL DRAWINGS CHICAGO FREDERICK J. DRAKE & CO. Publishers Copyright 1918 By Frederick J. Drake & Co. Chicago PREFACE More mechanical knowledge is required on the farm than in any other line of business. If a farmer is not mechanically inclined, he is under the necessity of employing someone who is. Some farms are supplied with a great many handy contrivances to save labour. Farmers differ a great deal in this respect. Some are natural mechanics, some learn how to buy and how to operate the best farm machinery, while others are still living in the past. Some farmers who make the least pretensions have the best machinery and implements. They may not be good mechanics, but they have an eye to the value of labour saving tools. The object of this book is to emphasize the importance of mechanics in modern farming; to fit scores of quick- acting machines into the daily routine of farm work and thereby lift heavy loads from the shoulders of men and women; to increase the output at less cost of hand labour and to improve the soil while producing more abundantly than ever before; to suggest the use of suitable machines to manufacture high-priced nutritious human foods from cheap farm by-products. Illustrations are used to explain principles rather than to recommend any particular type or pattern of machine.

  • Sawmill Comes to the Charles Hunter Farm
    Stories of Pleasant Valley A Sawmill Comes to the Charles Hunter Farm by Larry Kidder On June 1, 1904 the Harbourton column of the Hopewell Herald noted that, “The woodsmen that have been working in Freeland Titus’ woods have completed their work and have moved their saw mill to Charles Hunter’s woods, nearby.” This saw mill was a portable, 60 horse power, steam- powered circular saw owned by George Guyer of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania whose crew included his two sons, Ira and Frank. They had been working on the Titus farm located between the village of Harbourton and Ackor’s Corner, the corner of today’s Route 579 and Pleasant Valley Road. Now they had loaded up their sawmill apparatus and used their horses to carry it the two miles along Pleasant Valley Road to the Hunter farm, located across from the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and the road to Harbourton. At the Hunter farm the equipment was unloaded, set up, and then flat, slanted roofs were put up to protect the mill equipment during the eleven months or so that it would be located there. It probably took the crew about four days to set up the mill and they would have to saw a lot of wood to make the move profitable. Proper set up required creating a solid foundation and properly aligning and leveling the saw frame, log carriage, and circular saw blade. While working on the Hunter farm, the Guyer’s and their crew was housed on the farm and close by. Although stationed at the Hunter farm, George Guyer traveled throughout the neighborhood for several miles around talking with farmers to buy logs or convince them to hire him to do some sawing for them.

  • Terms Bed in Forestry and Logging
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF FORESTRY—BULLETIN No. 61. GIFFORD PINCHOT, Forester. TERMS BED IN FORESTRY AND LOGGING. PREPARED IN COOPERATION WITH THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FORESTERS. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1905. LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. TjNIT'ED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 'AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF FORESTRY, Washington, D. C., May 15, 1905. SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript entitled "Terms used in Forestry and Logging," prepared in cooperation with the Society of American Foresters, and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 61 of the Bureau of Forestry. The publication of this bulletin in its present form would have been impossible without the cooperation of many lumbermen, and of prac- tically all the trained foresters in the United States. Very respectfully, GIFFORD PINCHOT, Former, Hon. JAMES WI14407 Secretary of Aptipkwo. 104272B TERNS USED IN FORESTRY AND LOGGING. INTRODUCTION. The terms in forestry which form a part of this bulletin comprise the English forest terminology used in this country, and the more important German and French equivalents. Many entirely new terms, and modifications of terms already in use, are included to meet the specific needs of American forestry. The Bureau of Forestry will follow this terminology closely in all branches of its work, and it is hoped that foresters generally in the United States will still further standardize it by use. The terms in logging comprise those commonly employed in work in the woods. Words and phrases which are merely slang, those whose use is so limited as to be of no practical importance, and those of wide application which are in standard dictionaries, have been omitted.
