The automatic saw mill machine utilizes a circular saw or band saw to transform larger logs into thick planks, which can then be used to create various wood products or undergo further processing. With an automatic feeding device, it can process up to 30 cubic meters per hour.
Additionally, it guarantees the precision of each finished product with a cutting accuracy of ±0.5 millimeters. Whether for a large furniture manufacturing facility or a fine woodworking shop, it serves as the perfect solution for enhancing production capacity, lowering costs, and maintaining quality.
Due to their high efficiency, smooth operation, and durability, sawmills are widely used in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Russia, Germany, Brazil, India, Australia, Sweden, and Finland.
Three types of automatic saw mill machine for your choice
Our factory produces three different models of automatic saw mill machines: portable sawmills, vertical saws, and lumber mill saws. Each type of machine has its characteristics, including different requirements for the diameter of the raw material.
However, the raw materials they handle are the same, which can be logs, sections, and squares. With the advantages of durability, energy saving, environmental protection, labor and material saving, and automation, these machines have become popular in the field of woodworking machinery nowadays.
Application scope of sawmill machine
The automatic saw mill machine can handle all kinds of logs, sections, squares, and exotic wood. It is widely used in sawmills, shipbuilding plants, mountainous timber harvesting sites, wood processing plants, etc.
Type 1: Portable sawmill
The portable sawmill is easy and convenient to operate, equipped with an electric control cabinet for quick machine control and use. When using it, you can manually push the wood or use a pneumatic control. The wood can only be cut when moving forward, not when manually pushing the wood to reset.
Generally, the diameter of the treated wood should be less than 50cm, and the wood will be stuck on the automatic saw mill machine throughout the entire working process to ensure cutting stability. Additionally, the automatic saw mill machine is equipped with an infrared calibration system that helps the user cut boards of uniform thickness.
Structure of lumber mill saw
The main components of this lumber mill saw are the frame, main saw part, slot saw part, lateral guiding stop, fixed table, sliding push table, miter saw guide, bracket, miter saw angle display device, and lateral guiding stop.
The whole automatic saw mill machine is simple and reasonable in structure, hand pushing and labor-saving, convenient and flexible in operation and use, smooth and high precision in sawing material, realizing the work of fixed size, and can be sawed at different angles.

How does the wood milling machine work?
The automatic saw mill machine works with two saw blades: the main saw blade and the scribing saw blade. During the cutting process, the scribing saw is used first to create a groove on the bottom surface of the processed board.
This groove has a depth of 1-2mm and a width of 0.1-0.2mm thicker than the main saw blade. The purpose of this is to prevent tearing of the saw kerf edge when the main saw blade cuts, thus ensuring a good quality of sawing.
Highlights of the portable sawmill machine
- The use of a double saw blade structure can eliminate the chipping scene when sawing veneer panels, without the need to trim the edge through other processes.
- Sawing accuracy is higher, the general guide right angle error is plus or minus 0.1mm.
- Simple operation, easy to understand, no need to use skilled workers, teaching will be provided.
Type 2: Vertical bandsaw mill
Vertical bandsaw mill, as the name implies, the saw of this type of machine is vertical. The automatic saw mill machine needs to be used in conjunction with a track. When using the machine, one fixes the wood on a fixed table on the track. It is necessary to control the forward and backward movement of the wood manually.
Structure of vertical band saw mill machine
The structure of the vertical band saw mainly includes the bed, upper and lower saw wheels, saw blade tensioning device, saw wheel lifting device, saw card device, transmission device, etc.

Working principle of the best log sawmill
The working principle is to clamp the log to the band saw blade for feeding movement, through the forward and reverse rotation of the motor to control the table for forward and backward action, through the gear drive, and drive the spindle of the car for reciprocating movement.
When the CNC system again receives the forward command, and the same speed to walk forward for the same interval. When the backward command is received, the return stroke is carried out.
Type 3: Horizontal log sawmill
A log sawmill is one in which the machine is positioned close to the ground while operating. Typically, this type of machine is utilized for processing larger and longer logs with a greater diameter.
The automatic saw mill machine consists of two components: a track that is fixed to the ground and a cutting part equipped with a saw blade. The machine operates by adjusting the thickness of the boards.
Additionally, there are various models of automatic saw mill machines available, each offering different track widths. Customers should select the model that best suits their specific requirements.
Components of horizontal log sawmill
This automatic saw mill machine mainly contains a saw frame, parallelogram adjustment device or four screw adjustment device, saw sharpening machine, track and lifting bracket, etc.

Working principle of automatic sawmill machine
The automatic saw mill machine has one upper saw wheel and one lower saw wheel. Generally, the lower saw wheel is the active wheel, and the upper saw wheel is the driven wheel. In this pair of saw wheels, which hang on one side of a thin steel band with saw teeth, the saw wheel rotation band saw blade also rotates. So, the teeth on the saw blade move continuously and rapidly, and the wood is sawed by it when it comes into contact with it.
Difference between a vertical wood sawing machine and a horizontal wood sawmill
- A vertical wood sawing machine is a band saw machine that does not move. It is operated by moving the woodworking automatic sports car left and right, as well as forward and backward, to saw logs. On the other hand, a horizontal woodworking band saw machine has the wood mounted on the woodworking sports car. In this case, the woodworking sports car does not move, but the machine itself moves to saw the wood.
- The saw blade used in the vertical wood sawing machine is displayed in a vertical position, with the blade and the wood forming a 90-degree angle for vertical up-and-down sawing of the wood. The woodworking sports car is moved horizontally to the left and right to view the wood.
