A great help is a good outrunner as there are many bolts to be tightened.Īs it is an American product the bolts and nuts are all in inch measurement so it´s a good idea to prepare with an inch socket wrench set. Considering that we are who we are, always in a hurry, and not so keen on following instructions, this is the time you must calculate to get an acceptable result. It took us 20 man-hours to do the mounting. All parts and packages are marked, so do follow this advice! To tear up all pallets and packages will end up with that you can´t find the parts or – in the worst case – use the wrong parts or put parts in the wrong place.Īs many bolts and nuts are to be tightened, a good nut runner is a good idea to have.

#NORWOOD PORTABLE SAWMILL MANUAL#
If you are interested in a sawmill from Norwood and, like us, prefer to go ahead with the mounting without looking in the manual – pay attention! That is most likely not necessary but to be on a plain and hard floor makes it easier. We had the benefit of mounting the mill indoors on a concrete floor. Some thousand inches of bolting later we were ready to go. In our case that meant four pallets with equipment. Mounting – IKEA mounting on steroidsĪs mentioned before, a Norwood sawmill is delivered unmounted. If the soil is soft where you operate, you must count on adjusting the setup daily or maybe even during the day. There is no doubt that there are benefits to having the sawmill stationary on plain and solid ground. Maybe not a big problem? It´s the cost for mobility. As the mill must be completely level when you are processing logs, you must count on 30 minutes extra time for each time you move the mill, just to set it up properly.
At low speed should be mentioned, not more than 30 km/h (19 mi/h) is recommended. With a car, you can relatively easily move the mill between sites. The test saw was equipped with a trailer package. Norwood LumberPro HD36 is up and running. The bandsaw blade is 4 meters (13 ft.) long and has almost 200 teeth. Between the engine and the wheels, there is a centrifugal clutch, meaning that the saw band stops when the engine is idling.
The wheels are powered by a Vanguard petrol engine of 23 hp. The sawing is made with a bandsaw blade mounted between two cast band wheels. This might not feel that big when you´re sitting by your computer or reading on your phone, but if you have handled logs of this size on a portable sawmill you know – it´s sturdy stuff. It can handle logs up to 92 cm (36”) diameter. Norwood LumberPro HD36 is the largest bandsaw in the Norwood range. We can confirm that in addition to that you also learn things like that to read and follow the instructions could be a good idea and that it takes longer time than planned … This keeps the price down and according to Skogma, you learn more about the mill if you do the assembly yourself. You have to count on 20 man-hours to get the mill ready to go.
