boards come often they'll so smooth itgives the term rough sawn lumber a whole new meaning the commercial grade sixteenhorsepower briggs and stratton v-twin is standard or choose the more powerfuloptional 23 horsepower a 240 volt electric motor is also available the patented log rests automaticallylock in place site scales take the guesswork out ofadjusting your rests rollers are provided for assisted log rolling andthe stops reposition quickly to act as board and can't stops. norwood owners cannow easily access the log rests from the operators side of the mill usingnorwood's patented log rests actuators
using the log rest actuators theoperator no longer needs to reach over the log to set the log rests simple tooperate the actuators allow for accurate adjustment or down. norwood is the only company that offersthis time saving device. cross bunks are designed narrow, to shed debris thatcould accidentally collect under cants, causing dimensional errors.stainless steel bunk caps prevent staining of cants and boards. logs andbeams are securely clamped with the lumber pros heavy-duty cam operatedlog dogs. most logs are not perfectly round or straight and therefore often have amind of their own when rotating and
clamping them. norwood's patentedautomatic dog assists tame those kind of logs by automatically following thelogs contours and then holding the log firmly exactly what you wanted thisstreamlines the typical two-handed two-step dogging process into a smooth one step system. in many cases a singledog will sufficiently hold the log securely making secondary crampingunnecessary. use two auto dog assists simultaneously for 100% automaticdocking. norwood is the only company that offers this convenient feature. some folks often put down the log deckof the lumber pro. some say it's made of
aluminum and therefore not strong. otherssay it looks like swiss cheese so to prove a point we removed all normalcenter supports and suspended the log back only at each end. we then loadedlogs weighing almost 10,000 pounds across the deck where there were nosupports. this of course puts much more strain on to the structure than normal the lumber pros log deck is doublelayered galvanized steel with engineered strengthening dembossments. these devicemounts are the multiple concave structures shaped right into each layer.this enables both layers to precisely locate and nest together. a patentedseries of flange bolts firmly locked
them in place to give the structuregreater strength and torsional stability than ordinary box beam type construction. with almost five tonnes loaded across thedeck with center supports removed the total weight was much more than thebiggest lot you could ever mill. even under these extreme conditions downward deflection was only one quarterof an inch. when the logs were removed the deck returned to normal. so to thenaysayers point made. the lumberpro enables fast cycle times and iseasy to operate. just lower the saw hand, activate the operator's control and guidethe blade through the cut. the lumberpro is so fast, so efficent,
