Wood planer adds value to your lumber

After investing in a sawmill the couple bought a Soloplaner. "A sawmill without a planer, it's like a computer without a printer," says Ronny Karlsson.


"A sawmill without a planer is like a computer without a printer," says Peter Carlson. Christina, his wife agrees.

At home he has a portable sawmill and a Logosol SH230, also called the Soloplaner. The Soloplaner has many possibilities, it squares, resaws, planes and molds in one single operation. In a small workshop the machine saves time, and recently it replaced the resaw.
"I put it away in a corner. The Soloplaner is much better, giving the timber the right dimensions," says Ronny.
When Logosol invited to open house in Sweden, Ronny and his wife Christina visited. They wanted to get tips on how to develop their woodworking, but also look  for other machines.
"What we have works fine, but you never know,"says Peter as he looks around.
The couple has already helped their three sons with timber for different woodworking projects.
Finally, an explanation of the metaphor of the computer and printer. For Ronny and others, rough sawn timber are much like a picture on the computer screen. It is nice to look at, but difficult to use. First when the image is printed and the wood is planed, the product is ready to use!

Tormek’s grinding machines and their method for sharpening edge tools have a solid good reputation all over the world.
Here comes their top model in a bespoke version made for Logosol’s customers.

There are not days enough in the year for Anders Assarsson who runs Svenshult’s Sawmill south of Gothenburg on the Swedish west coast. Even though the largest model of Logosol-Låks frame saw is going at full speed and the neighbours are helping out.
Now, the frame saw is to be automated, with the help of a large circular saw.

”Slice up your storm-felled trees! It is done quickly and you preserve all the good qualities of the timber.” This advice comes from Logosol’s founder, Bengt-Olov Byström, who continues thinking small-scale after the hard winds of this winter.

800 million people live in and of the forest. Many are poor and would get a better life if their commodities and work were valued higher.
Part of a solution was presented this summer in a one thousand year old church ruin: doubly eco-labelled wooden flooring, produced in southern Chile with equipment from Logosol.

Boat building has ancient traditions. Lars Wigren belongs to the growing number that carries the traditions on with the help of an own sawmill.

This year it is the tenth anniversary of the Logosol Sawmill model 7. 
Logosol celebrates this by taking the next step in development, the M8. But what happened on the way here?

The Logosol Sawmill M8 is the new model of the world’s most sold sawmill.
”We collected feedback from Logosol Sawmill owners all over the world,” says the product manager Mattias Byström at Logosol’s headquarters in Sweden.

For the first time in ten years, the wood-processing company Logosol presents a new Logosol Sawmill. The model passes under the name of M8 and includes a number of new modifications. Comfort and performance have been further raised. A new design gives the small sawyer more possibilities for both efficiency and job satisfaction.

Arne Larsson is a man of actions. He seldom regrets anything. Except when he a couple of years ago, cut up a large quantity of alder into firewood.
”Alder is the most beautiful sort of wood in the Swedish forests,” says Arne, who recently built a sauna, panelled with spalted and oiled alder.

What will a boat builder do when he cannot obtain mahogany that is wide enough? He takes his sawmill and goes to the woods.
”In the Swedish woods there are several interesting sorts of wood, like oak, elm and ash,” says Johan Nilsson, one of three boat builders behind the company Båthantverkarna (‘The Boat Craftsmen’ in English) in Stockholm.

Just in time for the planing season, Logosol introduces a completely new machine, which combines simplicity with larger size. To those who are already acquainted with the Logosol range of products this is a long-awaited big brother to the popular Logosol SH230, that was introduced more than ten years ago.

John Haag in Sweden has found his niche in small-scale wood processing. With his two sawmills he started a log home factory. His band sawmill can handle the rough logs, the portable sawmill runs the log house molder.

With his own sawmill, Gerard Saulnier can finally realize his dreams: making logs from the trees growing on the family estate.

Eight Laks saws turned a wrecked pine plantation into profitable forestry with record-low investment costs. The alternative would have been to burn down the whole forest plantation.

A new bimetallic blade with HSS teeth has been developed by Hakansson Sawblades. We visited the company and met CEO Olle Bergren for an interview.

The big challenge when it comes to industrial projects in developing countries is to find simple and durable equipment that give high productivity and quality.  Klas Bengtsson in Sweden has made this challenge his mission in life.

A neat sawmill shed was the first project when the family invested in a portable sawmill with log house molder.
"Here we can produce timber all winter, "says Donald Oberg.

”It takes hardly any time at all to saw and the results are good,” says Michael Högdahl, who makes shooting tower construction kits using a bandsaw on a Logosol sawmill. One of the shooting towers is disguised - as a moose!

Air-drying works well if you are going to use the timber to build a house. But you can’t rely on the spring winds to dry it enough for use in furniture.
”It’s the biology that means furniture timber has to be dried artificially,” says Svante Larsson, who together with Leif Mattsson came up with the Sauno wood kiln.
