Compact new mill

Written by 

LUCAS MILL has added a new portable mill to their range of circular, swing blade portable sawmills.

The company has for 18 years made affordable, portable sawmills in Australia. Now they are recognised in 100 countries. At least 12,000 machines have been sold.

Says Lucas, "Renowned for their versatility, light operating weight and excellent portability, the mills have contributed to the achievements of many individuals and organisations in diverse pursuits throughout the world."

The new model 4 is compact and is ideal for a wide range of customers including men's shed groups, furniture makers, wood workers, owner builders and small farm operators. The model 4 - 6 is capable of cutting 106mm in vertical and horizontal planes, and up to 3.6m long. Power comes from a 6hp Honda motor with manual start.

Similar to the larger circular Lucas mills the model 4-6 can be fitted with an optional slabbing attachment, planer and sander.
