M5 is the most sold model of all Logosol sawmills, so there is no doubt that it is a good sawmill. If you are not going to saw that much, or if you only going to use the sawmill for log house moulding, you can save some money by choosing a Logosol M5. The sawmill can work with all standard shape logs up to 5m (14 ft 9") length. Extensions are available to easily add length to process longer logs. Half metre extensions are normally added to provide extra length and support for longer logs. The low profile chain is available in 40cm (16"), 50cm (20") and 63cm (24") cutting lengths to handle most log diameters (even longer chains can be added to handle those extra large logs). Logs too large to place on the sawmill can be cut by placing the sawmill on the log.
Made of anodized, extruded aluminum, weighs only 52kg (115lbs) the mill is extremely strong for it's size, easily supporting and lifting over ten times it's weight. The aluminium is of the highest quality available, in the same class as that used for aircraft construction.

Made of anodized, extruded aluminum, weighs only 52kg (115lbs) the mill is extremely strong for it's size, easily supporting and lifting over ten times it's weight. The aluminium is of the highest quality available, in the same class as that used for aircraft construction. This mill is designed with the operator in mind. Everything is at the right height for long hours of operation without back strain. It is easy to use - no pushing the saw through the wood. The M5 is rust proof - all parts are weather resistant. Anodized aluminum, stainless steel bolts and nylon slides are used in the construction. There is very little to break, adjust or wear out in this mill.
The logs are best handled on a log deck and the sawmill is designed to allow the logs to be rolled directly from the log table onto the log bed and to be sawn at a comfortable working height. The log is placed on one or two log shelves which can be moved up and down. One end of the log is held in place by a spiked bumper. The saw runs on a straight guide rail and saws the log very accurately. The special chain and blade allows the chain saw to cut straight with very high accuracy even in low grade quality saw logs. No "band-saw waves". The surface is so smooth on lumber finished with the M5, it can be finished with a belt sander. With the ease of log handling and positioning, using the independent log bed suspension, you can maximize the cutting of the log to produce the best lumber.
The chain used on this sawmill is manufactured by the world's leading chainsaw manufacturer and has been proven as a reliable cutting solution, and produces an amazingly smooth surface. This narrow chain takes only 6 mm (1/4") kerf. Easily sharpened, these chains will last through 3000 bd. Ft of cutting. This sawmill has been designed with safety in mind. The chain pulls the wood against the bed, firmly holding it in place while cutting. The use of the mill involves both hands, keeping the possibility of accidents at a minimum.
The two Log beds move up and down, separately allowing for easy leveling of the log to achieve the most productive cut. This feature also provides the ability to produce tapered and angle cuts. You can easily switch from 6 mm (1/4") to 3 mm (1/8") increments to produce lumber to the accuracy desired. Three pulleys combined with a nylon poly line provide maximum lifting capacity. Easily lifts a log up to 500kg (1100 lbs). Note:Mill does not include powerhead or table extension shown in picture.
Log Diameter: Up to 60 cm (24"), with the possibility of sawing logs of larger diameters.
Log Length: Standard length is 4.5m (14 ft 9"), but you can extend the sawmill to any length.
Accessories: Gas chainsaws, electric chainsaws, guide bars, chains, log house molder etc. Note: Will not work with the Husqvarna 3120XP chainsaw unless specific modifications are made.

The M5 is a great sawmill, I used it to build a cabin in rural Alaska. My building experience is written up in the logosol user forum if they ever get it up and running again, it was closed down due to spam. Here is a link to many photos of the project
