LIGHT WEIGHT

RAW POWER

THE SIZING SYSTEM

The PowerSaw uses simple setworks with no chains, cogs, or complex mechanisms. Release the toggle clamp, slide the stop to your required size, lock it, and push the frame against it. Vertical sizing works the same way using the winch.

With so few moving parts, the mill is easy to use, maintain, and assemble in around 15 minutes.

USES YOUR CHAINSAW

We provide the sawmill — you provide the chainsaw. A 90cc+ professional saw, such as a Stihl or Husqvarna, is ideal. It mounts to the mill just like fitting a guide bar and uses the chainsaw’s onboard chain tensioner and lubrication system.

MANUAL FEED

Operation is extremely simple. Swing the chainsaw into the horizontal position, throttle up using the supplied remote throttle, and push through the cut. At the far end, flip the blade and pull it back.

Simply listen to the chainsaw RPM and keep it in its sweet spot as you move through the timber.

No gearbox · No electronics · No pulley · No belts · No battery · A truly simplistic, yet productive sawmill.

14"

WIDE, IN TWO PASSES

The M7 cuts a 7" × 7" beam in a single pass — push through horizontally, swing the blade, bring it back, and the beam is complete.

For wider timber, the M7 can double-cut up to 14" wide by cutting horizontally from one side of the log, then from the opposite side. Simply roll the log between the end frames and remove your timber through the open side.

The open-frame design means log diameter is rarely the limitation. Set the mill up where you need it, block under the feet if required, and work around very large logs with ease.

Sizing is equally simple: slide the toggle clamp to your required dimension, lock it, move the frame to the stop, and secure it. A winch raises and lowers the frame for vertical sizing.

VERTICAL, THEN HORIZONTAL

One blade does both cuts. Swing it over and take the next face.

SET THE LOG

Set the log up first, or simply set the mill around the log — whether it is lying on the ground or raised on blocks with a square notch cut into them. Either method works.

CUT HORIZONTAL

Swing the blade into the horizontal position, throttle up the chainsaw using the remote throttle, then smoothly push the saw through the log to complete the cut.

SWING AND CUT VERTICAL

At the far end, swing the blade into the vertical position, throttle the chainsaw up again, and pull it back through the log to complete the second cut and finish your edged board.

DOUBLE-CUT FOR WIDER BOARDS

For wider boards, swing the blade back to horizontal, slide the entire frame across to the opposite side of the log, and make a second horizontal cut. The two cuts meet in the centre, allowing you to produce boards up to 14 inches wide.

ONE PERSON, ANYWHERE

150KG, IT GOES WHERE THE LOG IS

STANDARD

330 LB COMPLETE

At only 150 kg, the M7 breaks down into smaller components, making it easy for two people to move from log to log or site to site. One-person movement is possible, although the 60 kg main beam makes two-person handling much easier.

OPTIONAL

PACKS INTO 1.2 M³

The complete M7 packs into just two compact packages: the full-length or split beam, depending on your chosen configuration, and a small box containing the carriage and end frames.

OPTIONAL

JOCKEY WHEELS

Optional jockey wheels make moving the M7 even easier. Simply lower the mill onto the wheels and roll it around your farm or project site. With the wheels fitted, one person can manoeuvre it much like a small boat trailer.

IN THE YARD

SEE IT CUTTING

We have more than 300 videos on YouTube, but here are just a few that will help you better understand our products and how they operate. If you’d like to see more, simply search Turbosawmill on YouTube. You’ll find a huge range of videos, including historical footage dating all the way back to 2007.

BIRDS EYE VIEW OF THE POWERSAW

Here’s some drone footage of the M7 PowerSaw fitted with the upgraded single-end sizing option. It gives a great overhead view of the machine in action and shows just how compact, simple, and practical the setup is.

SHOWING EASE OF USE

Here’s a great example of just how easy the M7 PowerSaw is to operate. Make the horizontal cut, swing the blade vertical, and you’ve got an edged board. With the single-end upgrade kit, all the main controls are operated from one end of the mill, making the whole process even simpler and more convenient.

MORE INSIGHT ABOUT THE M7

Here’s a short video taking you through the key advantages of the M7 PowerSaw — how it’s built, how it operates, and the thinking behind its simple, practical design. It’s a great introduction to what makes the PowerSaw such a versatile and easy-to-use portable sawmill.

SINGLE END PRODUCTION

The M7 comes standard with a double-end sizing system, where you work from both ends of the mill. This video shows the same machine upgraded to our complete single-end sizing system, allowing everything to be controlled from one end and significantly improving production. Watch how quickly it powers through those 3x2s — simple, fast, and highly efficient.

7" X 7" BEAMS

This video shows just how simple it is to produce large 7x7 beams with the M7 PowerSaw. Swing the blade horizontal and make your cut, then swing it vertical and complete the second cut — and you’ve got a finished 7x7 beam. This setup is powered by a Stihl 661 chainsaw and makes surprisingly light work of substantial timber.

AGE HAS NO BEARING

Age really has very little bearing on operating the M7. The chainsaw-style power head is extremely light and effortless to push, requiring very little energy to move through the log and make each cut. It’s a simple, practical design that keeps the physical effort to a minimum.

INSTALL AN ELECTRIC CHAINSAW

Lithium-powered chainsaws have come a long way. Today’s models have the torque and battery capacity to do the job effectively on the M7 PowerSaw. With a good rotation of batteries and a fast charger, you can maintain production throughout the day while enjoying the simplicity, low noise, and convenience of electric power.

FIRST TEST WITH THE NEW POWERSAW MODEL

This is the very first footage of the first few cuts made with the original M7 PowerSaw produced by Turbosawmill. It marked the beginning of a completely new sawmill concept. The sizing system shown here is the standard setup supplied with the machine, with the option to upgrade to single-end sizing either at the time of purchase or later on.
