SERRA Portable Sawmills - The Alpina KE 90
A professional electric sawmill for a very reasonable price
This saw mill gives you the
cutting quality of wide blade technology (80 mm = 3-1/8") at
a starter price similar to Woodmizers's LT series machines (which uses
only 1-1/4" blades). Despite an extremely high EURO cost, and
a previous attempt to do the same with the Montana before
the crazy currency moves, we are announcing the new Serra Alpina KE
90 saw mill. Wheels are extra. If you need to tow it, you can install
your own wheels. When we bring it from Europe, it is compact enough
to fit inside one 20 ft container to ship to your doorstep.

 The
ALPINA KE 90 is an ideal sawmill for anyone looking for a high quality
machine that grants excellent cutting quality, but at a more affordable
price. This is partly achieved by using parts of our professional
saw milling line. For example, it uses the saw blade wheel assembly
from the Montana. The other factor is that the saw is mounted on
a stiff, but smaller frame.
Cutting length
The Alpina can cut logs from 2 feet length. The maximum
length is decided at time of order. The base machine is able to cut
4.8 m (15 feet). The wiring of the machine is set to accept extensions
of twice 2.5 meters (8 ft), for a 9.8 meter (32 ft) length. Should
this not be enough, additional extensions of 2.5 meter lengths can
be added, however, wiring will need to be extended.
Pre-cutter
A
carbide tipped circular blade cuts a groove into the bark of the
log at the exact height of the saw blade in advance of the blade,
eliminating any possible obstruction to the blade. This extends blade
edge life to longer runs. The depth of cut is adjustable for thickness
of bark. A protective guard prevents operator error.
Blade positioning
Positioning of the blade is very important. Serra Alpina allows
exactly that. A digital controller guarantees repeatable cutting
height or precise measure. It is easy to use and offers also pre-set
cut programs.
  Saw
blades
The ALPINA KE90 electric sawmill uses wide saw blades, which
are taught and firm, do not waver across the log, but rather cut
in a straight line, yielding higher quality and more valuable wood.
