All the small details that enable an amazing sawmilling experience

On a long day of milling, it’s the small details that keep things running smoothly. The LumberMate LM30 includes smart features that support efficient, accurate milling. Twin vertical-adjust log clamps with 3-function clamping pads help secure sawlogs, cants, and boards. Height-adjustable steel log rests support the cant and help you keep it square. A patented quick-set set bar helps you clamp a cant low and clear of the blade’s path, so you can make your last cut with confidence.
