Can YSDMILL Sawmill Cut Hardwood Logs?

The key factors are less about “hardwood vs. softwood” and more about:

1.Log diameter — the mill has a maximum throat/capacity

2.Blade type — hardwood usually needs the right tooth profile and sharp blades

3.Engine power — dense hardwood takes more horsepower

4.Blade sharpness — dull blades struggle badly in hardwood

5.Log condition — dirty bark, embedded metal, or very dry logs make cutting harder

6.Hardwood is tougher on blades

Huge hardwood logs may require:

1.a larger hydraulic mill

2.wider blades

3.more horsepower

4.slower cutting speed

YSDMILL sawmills are designed to cut hardwood logs, including large-diameter hardwood.

YSDMILL heavy-duty horizontal sawmill is specifically designed for large diameter logs and can cut logs up to 1500 mm max diameter.

Their portable diesel band sawmill models list max cutting diameters from 800 mm to 1600 mm, depending on model.
