Description
The Forestwest BM11155R 32-inch full-width portable sawmill is an upgraded 32-inch sawmill designed for customers who want to make better use of large-diameter logs and produce wider boards and live-edge slabs.
Powered by a 19.5 HP Rato gasoline engine with electric start, the BM11155R accepts logs up to 32 in (813 mm) in diameter and provides a full 32 in (813 mm) maximum cutting width. With a cutting depth of up to 8 in (203 mm), it offers substantially more usable cutting capacity than the BM11126.
The upgraded sawhead incorporates a new blade-tensioning handle, nylon guide pads for smoother vertical sawhead movement, and quick-release blade housing clamps for easier inspection and maintenance. The standard cutting length is approximately 10 ft 2 in (3,100 mm), with bed extensions available for longer logs.
