Portable sawmill Junior Peterson (JP)

circularhorizontal

Product Overview
The Junior Peterson (JP) is a compact, portable sawmill designed for part‑time sawyers and small‑scale production. It uses the same Lo/Lo ground‑level track sections as the larger Winch Production Frame, offering simple setup, horizontal cutting and extendable track length for longer logs. Suitable for home, farm and light commercial milling where portability and low operating complexity are required.

The Peterson Edge

• Lower blade maintenance — blade tips and re‑tipping frequency are far lower than bandsaw blades; blades last 20+ years with correct use.
• Fully edged boards — single‑pass milling produces edged boards without resawing or log turning.
• Portable design — manoeuvrable by hand with supplied jockey wheels; fits pickup or small trailer.
• Versatile for homesteads — mills small and large logs; track extensions allow any required length for cabins, beams or joinery.
• Weatherboard capability — cut angled or lap siding directly from the mill with adjustable thickness and pitch.

Accessories

• Track extensions — add length modularly without losing accuracy.
• EZ Dogs — alloy dogs to secure small logs and recover the final board.
• Log bunk brackets — fabricate simple log holding skids for on‑site milling.
• Planer blade — convert rough‑sawn slabs or beams to smoother surfaces.
• Sanding kit — achieve tabletop‑quality finishes.
• Retipping jig — enable on‑site replacement of worn tips if sawdoctor access is limited.
• Remote area service kit — consumables and wear parts for approximately 6 months of remote use.
• Clip‑on slabber — bolt‑on oversized chainsaw bar for live‑edge slabs.
