Designed for commercial use, Select Model 4221 is reputable for its exceptional quality workmanship and performance. This, combined with the mill’s capability for large volume production is what defines Model 4221 as the ultimate band sawmill.
High volume production is achieved with this bandmill’s astonishing cutting speed of up to 3 feet per second and the double-cut blade which cuts in both directions. Fully hydraulic system.
The computerized setworks has 12 preset thicknesses to choose from and an additional two memories for hold and recall specially designed for cutting hard wood. In addition there is a digital display to see the blade height at all times.
Less sawdust and more lumber is produced with a kerf of only 3/32″. The hydraulic system permits you to turn, level, and dog the log, as well as adjust the blade guide and blade tension.
Exceptional quality workmanship on the Model 4221 is due to strict quality control with an emphasis on precision and accuracy. The result is a STRONG and SOLID mill and is what distinguishes SELECT mills from all other mills on the market. This mill has a cutting depth of 14″ and can cut a log 42″ in dia. x 22′ long, down to 1″ from the bed. Highly efficient sawdust control, achieved with thick plastic strips and good blade scrapers prevents sawdust deposit on blade wheels inside guards. This system is 94% more efficient, than similar designs seen on the market.
