Log Moulder LX26 — Feature Highlights

The Log Moulder LX26 combines extreme capacity with Norwood’s most advanced innovations to deliver serious performance, cut after cut.

Use the same track as your sawmill
1.

Use the same track as your sawmill

Your saw carriage and the Log Moulder LX26 work off the same track. Square the cant, then run the LX26 over the same rails to plane to final size. Fewer setups, less handling, faster turnaround.

Reliable Briggs & Stratton power plant
2.

Reliable Briggs & Stratton power plant

A proven 13.5 hp Briggs gas engine drives the cutterhead through a centrifugal clutch, delivering steady power and smooth engagement under load.

Heavy-duty cutterhead drums
3.

Heavy-duty cutterhead drums

Standard equipment includes an 8 in x 4-13/16 in (20 cm x 12 cm) cutterhead with two 8 in (20 cm) corrugated HSS planing knives. Add the optional second 8 in cutterhead (LX26-CH8) to surface up to 16 in (41 cm) in a single pass.

Fast knife change and adjustment
4.

Fast knife change and adjustment

Access knives through the service hatch. With a 6 mm Allen key and the locking/adjusting screws, you can swap and set knives quickly. The setting block keeps the cutting edge positioned accurately.

Get a smooth finish on wide beams and planks
5.

Get a smooth finish on wide beams and planks

Finish timbers up to 27 in W x 21 in H (69 cm x 53 cm). The laterally adjusting cutterhead slides up to 11 in (28 cm) for wide surfacing, up to 19 in (48 cm) with one drum, or up to 27 in (69 cm) with a second optional drum.

Built for long stock

Adjustable carriage wheels
7.

Adjustable carriage wheels

The adjustable carriage wheels with sealed 5/8" bearings accommodate rails 31" to 33 ½" (79 cm – 85 cm) apart, and 40 ½ to 43" (103 cm – 110 cm) apart.

Depth of cut ruler scale
8.

Depth of cut ruler scale

Exact vertical adjustments can be easily made with the adjusting handle and sight scales. The Log Moulder comes equipped standard with a 9/8", 2", 1", and ¾" lumber scale.

Smooth, low-shock belt drive
9.

Smooth, low-shock belt drive

Belt-drive reduces chatter compared to direct drive. When a belt change is needed, the quick tensioning ring makes adjustment fast so you can get back to work with minimal downtime.

Drum brake system
10.

Drum brake system

The drum brake automatically engages when the throttle is released, bringing the cutterhead to a stop faster than coasting. This reduces run-down time after cutting and improves jobsite safety.

Turn rough timber into premium finished stock

Use the LX26 to surface beams, slabs, and timbers to spec, right on your sawmill rails. After you square the cant, the moulder runs the same track to plane clean, uniform faces with repeatable results. It’s a straightforward way to move into value-added material for timber framing, log building, and custom projects, without sending work out or tying up a separate machine.

Build a log cabin, or a business

Build the log cabin or timber structure you’ve always wanted, using your own wood. The Log Moulder LX26 lets you produce precision-moulded profiles, including tongue-and-groove and Swedish Cope options, for consistent geometry and clean mating surfaces. The result is beautiful, build-ready timbers with a professional finished look that’s hard to match.

Fits the Norwood mill you already own

The LX26 adapts to fit on the tracks of a wide range of Norwood sawmills, including HD38, HD36V2, HD36, LM30, LM29, MN27, MX34, and ML26, plus the 2000 / MK3 / MK4 series. Adjustable carriage wheels accommodate rail widths of 31–33½ in and 40½–43 in (79–85 cm and 103–110 cm). That flexibility makes it a practical add-on for owners who want to expand capability while keeping their existing mill setup.
