Auto-Locking Sawhead

The patented infinitely-adjustable auto-locking sawhead offers precise depth-of-cut control, simplifying your cutting process and saving time. One turn of the crank equals 1 inch of blade height adjustment.

EZ Blade Tension

The patented EZ Blade Tension systems allows for frustration-free blades changes by preserving critical bandwheel alignment when you tension the blade. When blade tensioning is easy your band blade changes are fast, allowing for more time milling.

Adjustable Blade Guide

The patented auto-locking adjustable blade guide allows you to make the blade width narrower and therefore more controlled on smaller cuts. This fast single-action system lets you quickly adjust the cut width to keep the exposed blade well supported while cutting various sized material, improving stability and reducing blade wander.

Log Dogs and Log Rests

The log dogging and log-rest system securely holds a log on the sawmill log bed. The adjustable log dog clamp uses a screw-dog system to firmly hold logs or cants while cutting. Removable long and short log rest posts provide sturdy support for full logs and squared stops for partially cut logs. Built-in low-profile cant stops hold cants in line with the blade guides and can be used with the optional quick-locking cam dog system.

Micro-Adjustable Leveling Feet

Ten micro-adjust leveling feet are included for ground-level stationary sawing to help ensure the mill stays stable for safe, accurate cuts. These can be used in conjunction with optional leveling legs to provide sturdy support for the log bed at a more comfortable working height.

Standard, the OS23 band sawmill log bed is 14 feet long (4.3 m), which allows you to makes cuts up to 11 ft (3.4 m) in length. To saw longer material, you can add optional 7 ft (2.1 m) log deck extensions. You can add multiple extensions in stationary configuration to cut logs of any length. If you want to add the mobility towing system to your Frontier, you can still add one 7 foot bed extension and have it supported with the mobility sub-frame extension kit.

Yes, with the optional Mobility Kit you can tow the OS23 sawmill through your woodlot and directly to your sawing site. This includes a steel sub-frame, wheels, a quick-disconnect drawbar, running lights, wiring harness, safety chains, and support jacks. Additionally, there's an option to add a mobility kit sub-frame extension with extra jacks to support a 7 ft extended log deck. You can add the mobility kit now or choose to upgrade your mill in the future.

Some sawyers have their own tractors or loaders. If you don't have access to such equipment, you have the option to enhance your setup with the available log loading systems designed for the Frontier OS23. This includes a ramp package for efficiently moving logs onto an elevated sawmill bed. To further streamline the process, you can complement it with a log winching system. This system facilitates the movement of logs onto the sawmill bed and includes a log turning hook for rotating heavy logs and cants and hold them firmly against the log posts for dogging

The sawhead is pre-assembled at the factory, and thanks to the fully illustrated step-by-step manual with exploded illustrations, diagrams, and photographs, the rest can usually be put together in a single day. You'll only need a few basic tools, including combination and Allen wrenches, a ratchet with SAE and SI sockets, an adjustable wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, a drill, lubricating and engine oils, and a grease gun. Regardless of your skill level, Frontier Sawmills are designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate. We also provide toll-free support from the moment your Frontier Sawmill arrives, through your first cuts, and beyond.

With every Frontier sawmill, you receive a one-year consumer warranty. We will repair or replace, at our discretion, any part returned to us and found to be defective through manufacturing within the first year of the original purchaser’s ownership (except consumable items like belts, blades, bearings & clutch). The engine is covered under warranty directly with the engine manufacturer (two years by Briggs and three years with by Kohler). We back that up with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If your Frontier sawmill doesn’t do everything we say, simply return it to us within 30 days and receive a refund (shipping not included)*.

*Not including used blades, damaged parts or restocking fees.
