Tips for Choosing an Electric Band Sawmill

Motor power & voltage:

More powerful electric motors (e.g., 7.5 kW or higher) cut faster and handle hardwood/logs easier. Typical electric band sawmills are 3-phase (400 V) units for stable torque.

Log size capacity:

Look at max log diameter (e.g., 550 mm, 750 mm) and length capacity — bigger machines let you mill larger boards.

⚙️ Features:

Electric feed and cutting thickness adjustment (on higher tier units) save labor and improve repeatability.

Portable vs stationary: portable mills are easier to move to timber; stationary mills are more rigid and durable.

Accessories:

Blade guides, log clamps, track extensions and coolant systems can improve cutting quality and ease of use.
