Set Up and Saw
The LT28 comes standard with a trailer package. Set up is quick and effortless thanks to Wood-Mizer’s patented cantilever head and monorail bed. The walk-along cutting operation, optional power feed system, and 18 HP gas engine (25 HP optional) makes this sawmill a complete package. The LT28 efficiently handles logs up to 32” diameter and 21’ long which are loaded using the ramps and turned manually with a cant hook. Add the optional Log Deck Package to make loading and turning easier.

The Wood-Mizer LT28 keeps your investment cost down, but your value high. It also has unparalleled options for maximum versatility.



In the famed "Great Portable Sawmill Shoot-Out" competition, the LT28 set "the highest recovery factor and fastest cutting rate of any manual mill," sawing at a rate of 596 board feet per hour, more than doubling Wood-Mizer's listed production rate!

David Sowersby - Arkansas
"When I was younger, my grandfather and I rabbit hunted on a farm that had a large round barn. I was always fascinated by its unusual shape. After retiring from the active duty Army in 2004 and while I was in Iraq/Afghanistan as a contractor, I drew up plans for this barn. On returning, I quickly figured out that I could build the barn, but costs for wood would be too expensive for my budget. I looked for some alternatives and with the extensive amount of timber on my property, I decided that purchasing a sawmill would be the most economical route... I did some internet research and found that Wood-Mizer saws seemed to be the best buy and after talking to another owner I contacted Wood-Mizer and ordered my saw. Not only did the sawmill save me a lot of money, but with no advertising, just through word of mouth, I quickly started to use my mill for extra income."
Brandon Stanfiela - King Size Cedar Bed
LT28 owner Brandon Stanfiela combined several designs to come up with the bed frame he had pictured in his mind. "The Wood-Mizer helped with such smooth and straight cuts. Everything went together easier with straight edges." He had always wanted a bed that looked good in a moutain cabin, and he loves the beauty of the cedar frame.
