F2+ Sawmill

A sturdier chain sawmill – for the really large logs!
Now we can introduce a new, bigger version of the best chain sawmill in the world. The F2+ is an F2 on steroids!

Mill larger Aussie hardwood logs with the F2+

This sawmill is sturdier, heavier and meets the demands of customers who want an extra-robust sawmill for sawing large logs. All essential parts of the sawmill are oversized to stand up to the stress of heavy logs, and to create the space needed for bigger logs, the log beds have been extended with fully 20 cm.

Even though the F2+ is bigger and a bit heavier than the F2, it has become even easier to handle due to a completely new feature that makes it possible to detach the log lifters while keeping the whole guide rail intact and aligned. It has never been easier to store, transport and set up a heavy-duty sawmill for oversized logs!

The frame is built of 1-metre sections that fit in the boot of a standard car if required. Strong log lifters with log beds, which together can stand up to 1.2 metric ton! A lightweight saw carriage that slides perfectly on the guide rail, prepared for optional crank handle and bar nose steering. Chainsaw, electric saw and electric feed unit are compatible.

Fully anodised aluminium sections are a durable and dirt repellent surface. It never rusts.
The sawmill can be extended and upgraded when required.
Adjustment of depth of cut in fixed steps, gives your timber exact dimensions.
Adjustable sawmill feet included for steady positioning.
Strong locking of the guide rail sections facilitate assembly and gives increased stability.
Convenient easy-grip carrying handle for easy moving.
2 XL log clamps are included.

Carriage upgrade package
The basic saw carriage supplied with the F2+ can be upgraded with this upgrade package for more convenient feed of the saw unit and higher accuracy when taking wide cuts.

Winding crank – Provide a more convenient way to feed the saw through the log, is easier of the operator and provides higher productivity.

Bar nose steering – a cross bar supporting a magnet, holds the chainsaw bar more steady, reduces vibration, and potential bar sag. This increases dimensional accuracy and provides an even nicer sawn finish.

Water cooling which is useful in some instances, (like when milling wide hard logs) the water cooling the bar/chain improves productivity and reduces wear. Ideal for wide Australian timbers. This can be retrofitted to the carriage upgrade package at a later date.

The above three features are part of the upgrade package, this package requires the F2+ basic saw carriage that is provided with each F2+ mill.

Extensions
In its basic configuration, this sawmill can be assembled as a 3 metre long sawmill with 1 metre between the log beds or as 4 metre long with 2 metres between the log beds. Extensions make it easy for you to extend the sawing length in steps of 0.5, 1, 2 or 3 metres.
