Perfect for the 1-3 man operation needing full production every day turning logs into lumber. Bring your portable sawmill to the woods or bring your logs to the sawmill. Either way, the AC3651D is designed to load, turn, square, clamp, and saw whole logs into lumber you can use or sell.
Weighing in at 7,000 lbs. this sawmill can handle logs up to 10,000 lbs. yet it's nimble enough to haul down the road with the help of dual axles and electric brakes on both axles. We have designed the loading system heavy built and positioned so that the log loader is able to pick up big logs with no hassle. We have witnessed big name mills unable to lift logs because of inferior design or it having too light weight of a frame.
The 4-post head design that we incorporate is rock solid. Canti-lever designs were designed to flex (outlook bridges, diving boards, etc.) and the only advantage is with an over-sized log having oversized protruding knots.
Next time you come across a canti-lever design walk up to it and see how easy it is to shake the head of the mill. Then try that on a 4-post head. Can they cut? Yes. Do they cut as consistantly straight as a 4-post headed mill? Absolutely not.
The other advantage with the 4-post head is that it won't shimmy along through the cut since all four corners work as one solid unit allowing the blade to cut smooth and straight into and out of the log. With the canti-lever design, the one side is constantly playing catch up since it is being pulled forward by the rigid side of the head. The proof is in watching one operate.
If you want a money maker at the right price that offers power, production, and reliability then the AC-3651D is for you.
AccuTrac gives you 18 Valuable Features that you can't go without ~ click to review.
Features:
- 51hp Perkins Diesel - powerful and reliable
- 36" Diameter Log Cut
- 21ft. standard log cut (additional feet available)
- Sturdy 4 x 2 x 3/16" tubing 4-post head frame - no shaking when in the cut
- Heavy wall 6 x 3 x 3/16" twin beam main frame - no twisting, and capable of handling 10,000 lb. logs
- 26" All Metal Bandwheels - The shaft, band wheel, and bushing are all balanced as one unit before ever going on the mill. This ensures perfect roundness and balance. This will make your sawmill run smooth and prolong the life of your bandsaw blades. No belt insert wheel will compare to a perfectly balanced all steel wheel. For more information on this look here: Bandsaw Wheels
- Hydraulic Log Lift - four 1/2" plate arms with aggressive foot pattern make for a loader that can handle heavy logs without bending. Most manufacturers can't handle logs in the 10,00 lb range. The AC3651D can with no problem.
- Hydraulic Log Turner - built from heavy #120 roller chain with 1" thick cleats welded in place to turn big logs with ease. Will turn logs CW & CCW
- (2) Hydraulic Squaring Arms - made from heavy wall 2" tubing. For cutting logs shorter than 8ft. it is recommended to add a 3rd squaring arm
- (2) Hydraulic Log Clamps - these clamps are built stout, and we don't just put one on your mill, but two for that extra holding power needed with bigger logs
- (2) Hydraulic Log Tapers - used to level up a log with a big butt end, allowing you to get the most board feet cut out of each log
- Hydraulic Guide Arm In/Out - with the touch of a button easily adjust the distance of the blade guide from the side of the log
- Remote Control Station with hand held remote control box and a 15ft. lead - The AC-36 control station was designed to be operator friendly.
By mounting the controls on a swiveling arm an operator has
the ability to decide where his best view will be. In addition, the
main sawing functions are housed in a ‘remote box’ which includes the control switches, and a 15ft. long cord that allows the operator to walk around during the cut to get the best view. You will also have the convenience of 4-way joysticks in place of rows of levers (one joystick eliminates two levers) so one hand operation of the log turner and log clamps are easily done.
- Board Drag Back System - These fingers are made from 1/2” thick steel. They give you the benefit of dragging your board back to you. This not only saves you time, but also makes for a lot less labor; both equal more money. As soon as the head returns with the cut board, you are ready to turn the log and start your next cut. You can even drag back a 12” x 12” x 16ft. cant.
Excellent for direct feeding an edger at the head of the mill!
- 2-Speed head up and down (fast/slow) - quickly raise or lower the head till you are about at your cutting mark and then simply flip a switch to go into the slow mode so you can adjust dead on your cutting mark
- Dual heavy duty axle trailer package (brakes on all four wheels) - not just one axle with brakes but all four wheels. This makes for a quick stop when needed
- Dual Lube/Wipe Blade System - By giving the blade a thin coat of lubricant we equip the band to resist sap build up, and the lubricant prevents friction. Therefore we have a stronger body because it is cooler and the lubrication increases the life of the blade and the guide system.
We use felt to clean the blade for two reasons; one is that since it absorbs like a sponge you don’t have to waste any lubricant in a continue heavy flow, second is that it is rigid enough to wipe the blade clean.
One is located before entering the log and another is located on the exiting side of the log.
- New 6" Gravity Offload Roller - for easy offloading of each cut board
