Pleasant Mills, PA, offers heavy-duty log-processing capability for log-home manufacturers, sawmills, cabin builders, and specialty wood-product businesses. The seller reports that the machine is in great working condition, and a 7-inch round log is shown inside the processing area. Power is supplied by a confirmed 30 HP, 230/460-volt, three-phase U.S. Electrical Motors unit rated at 1,760 RPM. The machine features substantial fabricated-steel construction, visible hydraulic components, contoured upper and lower processing assemblies, and expanded-metal safety guarding. Pricing starts at $30,000. Buyers searching for used log-home machinery, a commercial log notcher, or industrial round-log processing equipment in Pennsylvania are encouraged to inquire for availability and inspection details.
Available in Mt. Pleasant Mills, Pennsylvania, this industrial log birdsmouth machine for sale is a heavy-duty wood-processing machine designed to form a consistent birdsmouth-style profile in round logs. The machine is powered by a confirmed 30 HP three-phase electric motor, and the seller reports that it remains in great working condition. Pricing starts at $30,000.
The photographs show a 7-inch-diameter log positioned inside the cutting area, providing buyers with a useful visual reference for the machine’s processing capability. However, the seller has not provided a factory-rated minimum or maximum log capacity, so buyers should independently verify the complete size range.
Industrial Log-Notching Capability
This machine appears to be configured for production environments where round logs must be processed with a repeatable birdsmouth or saddle-style profile. The upper and lower contoured cutting or forming assemblies create opposing curved surfaces around the log.
Depending on the operator’s setup and the intended finished product, this type of machine may be useful for:
Log-home component manufacturing
Rustic building-material production
Cabin and shelter construction
Round-log wall systems
Agricultural building components
Specialty timber-processing operations
Custom log and wood-product manufacturing
Automating this operation may help a wood-processing business achieve more consistent results than manually laying out and cutting each log individually.
Demonstrated With a 7-Inch Log
The seller specifically reports that the log shown inside the machine measures approximately 7 inches in diameter. This is an important reference point for prospective buyers evaluating the machine for their existing log sizes.
The photograph confirms that the 7-inch log fits between the contoured upper and lower processing components. Exact maximum diameter, minimum diameter, finished profile dimensions, feed length, and production rate have not been provided.
Buyers with a specific application should confirm that their intended log diameter, wood species, moisture content, and finished profile are compatible with the machine.
Confirmed 30 HP Electric Motor
The visible motor identification plate confirms that the machine is equipped with a U.S. Electrical Motors industrial motor manufactured by the Emerson Electric division.
Visible motor information includes:
30 horsepower
Three-phase electrical power
60 Hz frequency
230/460-volt configuration
Approximately 70/35 amps
1,760 RPM
Continuous-duty rating
NEMA Design B
1.15 service factor
40°C maximum ambient rating
Insulation Class F
This is a substantial industrial power unit intended for a commercial electrical environment. Buyers should have a qualified electrician verify their available voltage, phase, disconnects, motor controls, overload protection, wire sizing, and installation requirements before placing the machine into service.
Hydraulic Components and Enclosed Design
Photographs show hydraulic cylinders and related components positioned around the processing area. These components appear to control or position portions of the machine during operation, although the seller has not supplied a complete hydraulic-system description.
The cutting area is surrounded by expanded-metal guarding intended to reduce operator exposure to moving components. A clearly visible “Danger — Pinch Point” warning is mounted above the working area.
The machine should only be operated with all guards, safety devices, controls, and emergency systems properly installed and functioning. Prospective buyers should inspect the complete safety and control system before use.
Seller-Reported Operating Condition
The seller describes the machine as being in great working condition. Photographs show an older industrial machine with visible dust, surface wear, chipped paint, and light corrosion consistent with use in a wood-processing environment.
These cosmetic observations do not establish mechanical condition. Buyers are encouraged to arrange an operational demonstration, inspect the cutting components, and confirm the condition of the motor, hydraulic system, bearings, controls, guarding, and electrical equipment.
Potential Buyers and Applications
This machine may be a strong fit for:
Log-home manufacturers
Cabin builders
Rustic structure manufacturers
Sawmills expanding into finished log products
Timber-processing companies
Specialty woodworking operations
Manufacturers producing repeatable round-log joints
Businesses replacing manual log-notching methods
Its 30 HP motor and heavy fabricated-steel construction indicate that it was built as an industrial production machine rather than a portable jobsite tool.
