LumberMan MN27 — Feature Highlights

The LumberMan MN27 combines extreme capacity with Norwood’s most advanced innovations to deliver serious performance, cut after cut.

Auto-locking sawhead
1.

Auto-locking sawhead

Patented infinitely-adjustable auto-locking sawhead (versus choice-choking, dimension-limiting pre-set cogged systems) gives you full depth-of-cut control while sparing you two time-consuming operations per cut.

E-Z Blade tension
2.

E-Z Blade tension

Patented laminated sawhead with EZ blade tension system for fast, frustration-free blade changes and maximum torsional sawhead strength.

Roller blade guides
3.

Roller blade guides

Two fixed 1 ¼" precision-machined, hardened and zinc-dichromate plated blade-guide rollers are fitted with sealed double ball bearings.

Log dog block
4.

Log dog block

Dual-profile log-clamp block with patented quick-disconnect functionality to expose third profile, a mar-reducing flat surface that helps protect your valuable sawn wood.

Log dog set bar
5.

Log dog set bar

Patented quick-set bar takes the guesswork out of clamping your cant low to make your last cut. In its engaged position, the set bar sets your log dog perfectly to firmly bite low and clear of the blade’s path.

Versatile log rests
6.

Versatile log rests

Two vertical-adjust 3 function log rests act as standoffs for knots and irregular shaped logs, secondly they enable easy log rotation, and thirdly they act as a stop for cants and boards.

4 inch sawdust exhaust port on the Norwood Sawmills LumberMate LM30 and LumberMan MN27 portable sawmill.
7.

Sawdust port

Rigid 4" tubular port directs sawdust down towards the ground. Or use it to connect a chip-extractor and exhaust the sawdust outside your sawing shed.

Lumber scale
8.

Lumber scale

Set display ruler with 9/8", 2", 1", 3/4" scales and built-in kerf allowance enables sawing standard size lumber with no calculations. A lumber production table is provided as a handy reference to improve lumber yield.

Blade Lube System
9.

Blade Lube System

Large custom-molded water tank with wide-mouth port and tethered cap is easy to refill. Water flow can be set to suit your preference. Add the optional blade auto-lube system to have water automatically flow to the blade when you activate the operator control and stops when you release it

Leveling feet
10.

Leveling feet

Ten micro-adjust leveling feet for ground-level stationary sawing come standard.
