View it in action
The seller built and operated this equipment as a complete lumber-production system rather than assembling unrelated pieces for resale. The circular mill, line shaft, planer, tooling, sharpening equipment, skid steer, conveyors, hydraulic components, and supporting equipment were used together as part of the same operation.
He is now finished with this line of work and is ready to move on, which is why the complete package is being offered for sale.
The seller would strongly prefer one buyer to purchase the entire system. He does not want to spend an extended period selling individual knives, heads, machines, tools, and components one piece at a time.
For that reason, the complete-package buyer receives priority. The seller will not consider selling the planer, skid steer, sharpeners, or supporting components individually unless the circular sawmill is sold first.
The seller reports that this is a working setup and that essentially everything associated with the operation is included except the concrete foundation. Buyers should verify current operation, condition, installation requirements, and component inventory during an in-person inspection.
Available in Barwick, Ontario, this complete line-shaft circular sawmill and planer package for sale is being offered at $105,000 USD, with reasonable offers considered. This is much more than a standalone sawmill: it is a broad lumber-production package that includes the circular mill, four-head planer, Perkins diesel power unit, Cat 248D skid steer, hydraulic equipment, sharpening systems, planer heads and knives, dust-handling components, tools, conveyors, and numerous supporting parts.
The seller is finished with this operation and is ready to move the equipment, but the sale structure is important: the complete package is the priority. The seller does not want to divide the equipment into small individual sales. At minimum, the circular mill must sell first before any separate sale of the remaining components would be considered.
Complete Circular Sawmill System
The central component is a seller-described circular sawmill in excellent condition. The mill is equipped with a 48-inch Simonds saw blade using Simolock-style shanks and carbide bits.
Material handling is supported by a 12-foot carriage with an onboard hydraulic log turner. The carriage is hydraulically driven, and the hydraulic headblocks feature adjustable forward speed and fast reverse capability.
Additional mill components include:
- 48-inch Simonds circular saw blade
- Carbide bits and Simolock-style shanks
- 12-foot hydraulic carriage
- Onboard hydraulic log turner
- Hydraulic carriage drive
- Hydraulic headblocks
- Adjustable forward speed
- Fast reverse speed
- Steel I-beam log deck
- 14-inch vertical edger
- Hydraulically adjustable edger
- Outfeed conveyor
- Drums and belting for the outfeed system
- Diamond-wheel bit sharpener powered by a cordless drill
- Approximately 1,000-pound flywheel
The seller reports that the bearings in the husk and line shaft are high-quality components with fewer than approximately 250 operating hours.
Four-Head Planer and Specialty Lumber Production
The package also includes an 8-by-12-inch, four-head, two-speed planer. It is accompanied by a substantial collection of planer knives, heads, sharpening equipment, and specialty tooling.
The seller reports having two sets of many of the planer knives. Most feature a contoured back that allows sharpening with a flat knife sharpener.
The top and bottom planer heads were upgraded from five-grip heads to 10-inch gib-style heads. These reportedly use commonly available 5/32-inch by 10-inch knives, helping simplify future replacement and sharpening.
Included knife and profile capabilities reportedly cover:
- Log siding
- Cove siding
- Shiplap
- Tongue-and-groove lumber
- Hardwood flooring with relief cutter
- Eased-edge decking
- 1½-inch tongue-and-groove material
- Custom 4-by-4 double tongue-and-groove stack-wall timbers
The seller reports that the custom 4-by-4 knives were designed specifically for producing double tongue-and-groove stack-wall timbers and are manufactured from AR400 steel.
Sharpening and Tooling Equipment
A commercial lumber operation depends heavily on maintaining blades and knives, and this package includes several sharpening systems:
- Automatic electric flat-knife sharpener
- Integrated water tank
- Cooling pump
- Electric L-knife sharpener
- Diamond-wheel circular-saw bit sharpener
- Cordless-drill-powered sharpening arrangement
- Multiple sets of planer knives
- Extra planer heads
- Extra gibs
- Additional cutting tools and related components
These included systems may help the next operator perform more blade and knife maintenance in-house rather than outsourcing every sharpening task.
Line-Shaft Power System
The mill and planer system operate through a quality-built line shaft designed with removable couplings. This arrangement allows easier access for maintenance and may make future additions or modifications more practical.
The line shaft is powered by a Perkins 1004 Series diesel engine fitted with a nearly new gear-reduction starter. The exact engine variant, horsepower rating, serial number, and operating hours should be confirmed by the buyer.
Supporting power and hydraulic components include:
- Perkins 1004 Series diesel engine
- Nearly new gear-reduction starter
- Complete line-shaft system
- Easily removable shaft couplings
- Hydraulic pump
- Hydraulic lines
- Approximately 20-gallon hydraulic-oil tank
- Air compressor
- Lumber-banding equipment
The seller notes that the air compressor needs a high-pressure shutoff to function properly with the line-shaft system. This is disclosed so buyers can properly evaluate the package before purchase.
Dust Handling and Material Movement
The package includes a 12-inch blower with piping, additional ductwork, and components for constructing or completing a sawdust-removal web.
Included dust- and material-handling equipment reportedly consists of:
- 12-inch blower
- Blower piping
- Extra duct piping
- Outfeed conveyor
- Conveyor drums
- Conveyor belting
- Quantity of No. 80 roller chain
- Components suitable for constructing a sawdust-removal web
The outfeed conveyor is not currently connected to power, but the seller states that the drums and belting are included.
Cat 248D Skid Steer Included
A Cat 248D skid steer loader is included with the package. It comes with:
- General-purpose bucket
- Pallet forks
The seller describes the skid steer as working well and considers it an indispensable part of the lumber operation.
The machine can support unloading logs, moving lumber, handling pallets, clearing waste, feeding material, and assisting during dismantling and relocation.
Exact Cat specifications can vary by year, serial number, tires, counterweights, hydraulic configuration, and attachments. Caterpillar’s published information for the Cat 248 family lists approximately a 2,000-pound rated operating capacity and an operating weight around 7,338 pounds, but the exact identity and specifications of this included machine must be verified from its serial plate.
Tools and Supporting Equipment
The seller is including a useful selection of shop and operational tools:
- Quality metal toolbox with wooden work surface
- Wrench set
- ¼-inch drive socket set
- ⅜-inch drive socket set
- ½-inch drive socket set
- Lumber moisture tester
- Electronic battery-powered tachometer
- Extra planer heads
- Extra gibs
- Extra knives
- New smaller pulley intended to increase planer speed
- Additional ductwork

Transportation and Delivery Are Major Advantages
One of the most important benefits of this package is the seller’s transportation offer.
Seller-Offered Delivery
The seller is willing to provide free delivery within approximately 1,200 miles, or 2,000 kilometers, provided that the buyer assists with dismantling and loading the equipment.
This delivery offer can represent substantial value because moving a complete sawmill and planer operation may otherwise require several trucks, equipment-loading support, disassembly labor, scheduling, and specialized transportation coordination.
The exact delivery arrangement must be confirmed before purchase, including:
- Destination eligibility
- Route and border requirements
- Number and type of loads
- Dismantling responsibilities
- Loading equipment
- Labor requirements
- Delivery timing
- Unloading responsibilities
- Oversize or overweight permits
- Customs and import documentation
- Insurance
- Any equipment not covered by the free-delivery arrangement
Trustworthy Equipment LLC can also help connect buyers with independent transportation resources for destinations outside the seller’s proposed delivery area or for buyers needing additional logistical support.
Complete Package—Everything Except the Concrete
The seller describes this as a complete working unit and states that the buyer receives essentially everything associated with the operation except the concrete on which the equipment sits.
That makes this package particularly relevant for:
- Existing sawmills expanding production
- Timber businesses adding planing capabilities
- Custom lumber producers
- Log-home and stack-wall timber manufacturers
- Siding and flooring manufacturers
- Agricultural lumber operations
- Family-operated sawmills
- Plain-community businesses
- Forestry businesses
- Investors establishing a lumber-production facility
Because dismantling, electrical requirements, foundations, guarding, installation, permits, and site design vary, buyers should have qualified professionals inspect the system and develop a relocation and installation plan.
Package Pricing and Sale Structure
The complete package is offered at:
$105,000 USD
The seller will consider reasonable offers from qualified buyers.
The seller is done with the operation and is ready to sell, but the equipment will not be divided into small individual transactions at this time. The intended sale is for the complete sawmill and planer package.
Should the package not sell together, the seller may later consider separate sales only after the circular sawmill has been sold first. Buyers interested in individual pieces may submit their information, but no smaller component sale should be assumed or represented as currently available.
