Log Molder and Beam Planer LM410

A unique log house molder that can do something no other molder can: besides being a log house molder, the Logosol LM410 is also a jointer/ planer for beams of dimensions up to 60 cm x 60 cm (24’’ x 24’’). It has to run on rails. The track width is adjustable, which makes the molder fit on most brands of band sawmills, e.g. LT10 and LT15. For Lennartsfors, which has significantly narrower rail width, you need an adaptor to make it fit, but the adaptor is for free. The cutter head is 410 mm (16") wide and laterally adjustable. You can use both planing and molding knives The planing knives are included. The knife sets in the price box below include the knife gibs. You do not have to remount knives between machining the upper and lower side of the log. There are two models: Environmentally friendly gas engine and 3-phase electric motor. In the photo above you can also see the posts that are fitted to the rails of the band sawmill. The chip hose and the power cable are held in place by the wire that is suspended between the posts. The wire kit is also compatible with the chip duct of the bandsaw and with the trailer kit.

Examples of moldings

150 mm (6") and 200 mm (8") cant pattern, where the knives for molding the upper and lower side of the cant are mounted at the same time.

Log 6x8 inches is a D-log, American industrial timber, which can be molded in the LM410. This molding is made in several steps. The planing knives, which are mounted in the cutter head during all operations, are supplemented with the molding knives.

1. Plane the inner side.

2. Mold the rounded outer side of the log.

3. Mold the upper and lower side of the log.

This knife set makes it possible to adjust the dimensions of the cant. The height is adjustable up to the maximum width of the cutter head, 410 mm (16"), and the width 120-160 mm (4 ¾" – 6 ¼"). You can add more knives to make a shape that is 200 mm (8").
