Logosol M7 at the Sawmill Shootout 2003
The M7 blew the old record away!
The Logosol Team pushed the M7 sawmill to a new record this year. They broke the 200 Board Feet per hour barrier for the first time. Their stats show a much higher lumber recovery factor of .90. This LRF is higher than two of the circular sawmills that competed in the event. The bandmills in the event averaged over 1.05 in their LRF's. And the Logosol Team proved this mill produces consistent quality lumber. The M7 is one of only 3 mills that had no miscuts in this event. Of course the two other sawmills that accomplished this were mills that cost thousands more than the M7 sawmill.
 The Logosol Team used the Husqvarna 395XP chainsaw as their powersource.
All in all it was a great showing for Logosol! We appreciate the opportunity to compete in this event offered by Independent Sawmill & Woodlot Management Magazine.
Here is a video of the Logosol Team in action at the saturday Shootout. You can see how they took apart these logs with the Timber Jig. The video contains several clips of the different types of cuts they made to accomplish cutting these logs into 291 Board Feet of quality lumber.
