The Rhino 1000 band sawmill offers sawyers an economical and durable solution to meet their milling needs. From the powder-coated structure, to the reliable Kohler gas engine, this mill will exceed your expectations. All major steel components feature a powder coated , galvanized and stainless steel finish ensuring your mill will stand up to nature’s elements. We recommend covering your sawmill when not in use, but if you forget it’s good to know that it will endure nature. The head moves up and down along galvanized steel channel via a very easy to turn hand crank system. The blade is kept lubricated by utilizing a water gravity feed system.
Cutting
The mill is capable of cutting 1100mm diameter logs up to 4.8m long. Additional log deck sections are available in 2m lengths for stationary models only. Capable of squaring cants at 950mm or skimming veneers at as thin as 1.5mm. The Rhino 1000 will cut within 30mm of the deck ensuring you maximize your usable board foot output.
Power
The Rhino 1000 are powered by 37HP Kohler electric start gas engine. It features V-Twin OHV Technology and Dura-Bore Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeves.
All of this gives superior balance, low vibration, lower emissions, improved valve life, better fuel economy and higher HP/Weight. It comes with a three year commercial engine warranty for all applications. Attached to the engine is an industrial centrifugal clutch system which offers “gas and go” efficiency and ease.
Track System
The head of our machine rolls along rigid 75mm x 45mm x 8mm “L” channel which is bolted to the log deck sides and cross supported with heavy duty 1070mm x 330mm laser cut and precision bended cross bunks. These cross bunks supports ensure the weight of the log is dispersed over a large bearing surface to avoid marking the log with indentation. They also provide additional rigidity to the track system. The log deck itself consists of three 2m sections allowing for 4.8m log lengths. Additional 2m log decks may be attached to accommodate logs of any length.
Blades
The Rhino 1000 utilizes 32/35mm x 4300mm x 22mm double hardened blades which are available through Rhino Band Sawmills. Blade kerf is kept to a minimum at just 2mm to maximize the most amount of lumber per log.
Bearings
All Rhino sawmill models have been equipped with extra high quality, extra long lasting bearings. Thereby ensuring that you get more life out of your sawmill from the get-go. We don’t cut corners and neither should you.
