PRECISION CUTTING

The HM126 can cut 66cm diameter logs and mill, live edge boards, at up to 61cm wide. Cut logs 3.1m long with the standard track configuration or unlock unlimited length potential with optional 1.95m track extensions. It can also skim veneers at as thin as 2mm. The HM126 will cut within 25mm of the deck ensuring you maximize your usable board foot output.

EFFICIENT POWER

Powered by a reliable 9.5HP or 14HP recoil start 4-cycle Kohler gas/petrol engine. Featuring a slant cylinder design with a cast iron cylinder bore and an overhead valve for easy access. The Quad-Clean 4-stage air filtration system ensures only clean air enters the engine for maximum power and life of the engine. Attached to the engine is an industrial centrifugal clutch system for easy gas-and-go operation. Backed by a 3-year Kohler commercial warranty.

RIGID TRACK SYSTEM

The HM126 sawmill head rolls along rigid 63mm x 101mm “L” channel which is cross supported with heavy-duty 76mm x 152mm rectangle tube. These cross supports ensure the weight of the log is dispersed over a large bearing surface to avoid marking the log with indentation and provide additional rigidity to the track system. The track also features a simple adjustable quick lock log clamp to securely hold the log while milling. The track itself consists of two 1.95m sections allowing for 3.1m log lengths. Additional 6’ 5” (1.95m) tracks may be attached to accommodate logs of any length.

AUTO-LOCKING SAWHEAD

Super precise and consistent control. Simply push the handle in and rotate through 16 locking locations to move the sawhead up or down. Coupled with an acme lead screw, you’ll get super accurate adjustments within 1/64” accuracy. Traditional magnetic log scale rulers are also included to line up your cuts.

AUTO-LOCKING ADJUSTABLE BLADE GUIDE

Keep the guides close to the wood being cut and reduce blade wander. The Auto Locking Adjustable Blade Guide is constructed using stainless steel v-rollers and a matched machined aluminium arm making it a premium system over traditional adjustable blade guides. It comes standard on the 14HP HM126 and can be purchased as an optional accessory with the 9.5HP model.

GAS & GO OPERATION

The throttle handle engages the engine RPM, saw blade and auto lube system simultaneously. This system makes the process of cutting lumber quick and efficient and reduces the number of steps required by the operator. The throttle handle position can also be adjusted for comfort depending on track height.

RAPIDCHANGE™ BLADE SYSTEM

Exclusive to Woodland Mills is the RapidChange™ blade system. This is a tool-less approach for changing blades quickly and reduces the amount of blade tracking adjustments between blade changes. A stack of Belleville washers act as a shock absorber for the blade while giving consistent blade tension in all temperatures ensuring less stress on your blades.

THIN KERF BLADES

The HM126 utilizes 32mm x 3660mm x 1.0mm hardened tipped blades which are available through Woodland Mills. Blade kerf is kept to a minimum at just 2mm to maximize the most amount of lumber per log.
