The Accuset 2 is Wood-Mizer's electronic setworks system, providing automated blade height control for the LT40, LT50, LT70, and LX450 portable sawmill series. Five operating modes and 16 programmable thickness presets allow operators to reduce repetitive manual positioning and increase cutting accuracy across production runs.

What operating modes does Accuset 2 offer?

The system provides five operating modes: Manual for standard up/down control with live blade height display; Auto-Down for automatic descent to the next programmed increment with a single drum switch tap; Auto-Up for rapid head raising when turning logs; Pattern for bed-referenced incremental cutting with automatic first-cut and cant calculation; and Reference for storing four pre-set head positions. The 16 thickness presets are organized across four buttons, with pressing the same button cycling through its four stored values.

How does Pattern mode optimize log yield?

Pattern mode references the bed surface and allows programming up to six different increment values calculated upward from the bed. The system automatically determines the first cut position and calculates the remaining cant size based on the programmed increments. The bottom increment repeats for the final cant, maximizing recoverable lumber from each log. This eliminates manual test cuts and reduces operator decision time between logs.

Which Wood-Mizer sawmills include Accuset 2?

Accuset 2 is standard equipment on the LT40 Super Hydraulic, LT50 Hydraulic, LT70 Super Hydraulic, and LX450 Hydraulic sawmills. It is available as an option on the base LT40 Hydraulic. The system integrates with Wood-Mizer's walk-along control station or the optional Command Control fixed pedestal. On electric LT70 models, the Command Control pedestal can be repositioned within a 1.8 m (6 ft) radius around the mill.
