Portable sawmill JR Peterson

circularhorizontal

Product overview
The Junior Peterson (JP) portable sawmill is designed for part-time sawyers and small-scale production milling. It is a simplified, portable version of the WPF (Winch Production Frame) and uses the same Lo/Lo parallel ground-level track sections to deliver straight, repeatable cuts. The JP is suitable for homesteads, farms and businesses that need to produce their own lumber on demand while keeping setup and transport simple.

Key Features

• Slash blade maintenance costs — up to 1/10th the blade maintenance costs of a bandsaw mill; blades can last 20 years or more.
• Fully edged boards — no resawing or double handling; straight, clean boards without log turning.
• Truly portable — hand-movable with supplied jockey wheels; fits in a pickup or small trailer.
• Versatile log capacity — sawn sizes range from small to large logs; extend track length for long timbers used in cabins, beams and structures.
• Integrated weatherboard feature — cut siding, angled and bevel boards directly on the mill with adjustable thickness and pitch.

Accessories (selected)

• Track extensions — add length without compromising accuracy.
• EZ Dogs — alloy dogs to secure smaller logs and recover the last board.
• Log bunk brackets — build log-holding skids for milling beside a log pile.
• Planer blade — convert rough-sawn beams and slabs to finished surfaces.
• Sanding kit — achieve a smooth finish for tabletops and furniture components.
• Retipping jig — attach replacement cutting tips when a sawdoctor is not available.
• Remote area service kit — consumables and wear items for approximately six months of use in remote locations.
• Clip-on slabber — bolt-on oversized chainsaw bar to cut full slabs and preserve live edges.
