1999 Heartwood Band Sawmill Model 310 Electric
Never been used; 6" Double-Cut (cutting travel speed up to 3 feet per second forward or reverse). Will require 600 Volt 3 Phase Power or motor exchange. The only noticeable noise this mill makes is the actual blade cutting through wood. Eighty-eight feet of track; operator travels with mill head along track. Numerous track-mounted hydraulic log handing systems and full programmable computer controlled set works. (We purchased 2 and only set one up for use.) Purchased in 1999, replacement value of this unit today is over $130,000 Canadian. Asking $65,000.00 Canadian, will require some site preparation and assembly. To compare this to any of the small bandsaws is like comparing a hi-way tractor/ trailer to a go-cart, this is a serious production mill. We often can go three weeks between bandsaw blade sharpenings! Please arrange for an appointment to see the twin unit in operation.
