LumberMate LM30 13½hp (420cc) Briggs & Stratton electric start gas engine Reviews

4.1 Rating 12 Reviews
Its a good sawmill. But the battery holder i was sent does not fit the model that i have. The battery slides off the platform because there is not a configuration to bolt it down. And the water system does not work correctly either. The rear posts that hold the log in place were froze up when i got it and theyre difficult to move up and down. It will be a good sawmill when i get these problems worked out.

Took my time setting up the LM30. Smooth is the best way to describe the performance. I've cut some spalted maple, and some white ash. Soon I will be processing black cherry and beech. The Briggs starts easily even without the battery. Had to try it. I'm pleased with this machine.

Unfortunately I have not cut any lumber with my mill . It is assembled and ready to go. Please send this survey at the end of summer for my comments. Thank you

This little engine always starts right up and has plenty of power to cut through my logs. If you keep a sharp blade on the mill, the engine has no problem cutting through even the thick sections of the log.

The electric start is great. Engine performance is certainly is a step up from my “training” sawmill and continues to handle everything that I have put in front of it. There are still a bunch of dead trees to mill, so I will continue to enjoy this LM30.

Still learning to use saw. Saw works good, starts easily. Assembly went ok need to follow directions exactly. I would recommend. Learning when to replace blade and how to sharpen blades. Have plans to build solar kiln soon

Go with the bigger engine, but, I think the charge 2k for the upgrade and the motor is 700. So I figure I’ll add the motor after this one fails.
