Wood-Mizer adds WIDE head option to LT20 series of saws

With the launch of the LT20WIDE, Wood-Mizer has completed the implementation of the WIDE option for the entire LT bandsaw range, which includes the LT15, LT20, LT40 and LT70 models.

The WIDE saw head was developed to meet the increasing demand for large log cutting in the industry. With a wider saw head, the operator can cut large logs up to 90 cm in diameter. The WIDE saw head brings additional benefits to log cutting in urban areas and where large diameter logs are cheaper and easier to source.

The new LT20WIDE saw in mobile version was presented for the first time in France at the end of March 2023. Earlier this year, Wood-Mizer launched the LT15CLASSIC WIDE mobile bandsaw, also presented at the Customer Days in France, so that visitors could compare the features and benefits of both models.

While the LT15WIDE is built on a low segment bed with manual log handling, the The LT20WIDE features the classic Wood-Mizer cantilever head design and hydraulic bed functions. The LT20WIDE Mobile can be supplied with log handling in 3 versions - manual, standard and super-hydraulic. The super-hydraulic version includes two vertical side supports, a 2-rod centre clamp, clamp clamps, a log rotator, log balancing rollers and a log loader. The sawmill owner can choose the configuration that best suits productivity and budget requirements.

The new version of the LT20WIDE saw is available with 7.5kW, 11kW and 15kW electric motors, 25HP petrol engine and 22HP or 25HP diesel engines.

With the standard Setworks SW10 automatic thickness adjustment device, cutting becomes more convenient because the operator does not have to remember to set the thickness after each cut. The saw head is electrically moved up/down and forward/backward. Water in the reservoir provides lubrication directly on the cloth to improve the cutting process. The electric guide arm keeps the blade supported while cutting different sized materials. The blade tension is easy to adjust and keeps the blade taut suitable for cutting. An optional peeler helps keep the blade sharp for longer as it removes bark, dirt and stones from the log surface.

A portable band saw can be carried in the forest, on the farm or construction site where the user needs to cut logs. Transporting the saw with a truck is convenient, and preparing the machine for work on site takes only a few minutes.

Wood-Mizer offers a 2-year warranty on all professional saws and premium service support.
