Affordable LT20START Sawmill with Full Hydraulics Ready for Action
With the release of Wood-Mizer’s new LT20START, aspiring sawmillers that want to upgrade to the legendary performance of the LT20 range can now do so at a much-reduced cost.
The entry-level LT20Start range brings the functionality, hydraulic options and performance of the LT20 range in newly designed configuration that blends cutting capacity with affordability.
The START’s design process saw new innovations and suppliers of critical components combining to drive down costs without sacrificing manufacturing, reliability and efficiency standards.
The result is the new LT20 START that introduces the LT20 range at a much-reduced rate without compromising quality.


The LT20START sawmill is available in one configuration, with a limited number of additional options and a standard width of the sawhead. Details concerning the nomenclature and equipment of the sawmill can be found below.
