SW44 Super Wide Mill is Your Sawing Game-Changer
Jan 28th 2025
If you’ve ever dreamed of cutting wide slabs like a pro, you’re going to love what we’ve got to show you. Meet the SW44 Super Wide Portable Sawmill — the newest workhorse in Cooks’ lineup. Built to handle wide slab cutting up to 44 inches, this mill’s tough-as-nails design doesn’t skimp on portability or precision. And if 44 inches isn’t big enough for you, we’ve got cutting options of 52 inches and 62 inches to fit any job. Let’s break it down and see what makes these sawmills a must-have for sawyers who mean business.
Why the SW44 Sawmill Stands Out for Wide Slab Cutting
- Wide Slab Cutting Power: This hauss (a true powerhouse) can tackle logs up to 44 inches wide, making it perfect for live edge slabs, big tabletops, or hefty beams. From guide to guide, you’ve got the capacity to handle the big stuff with precision and grit. If you’re looking for even larger cuts, check out our SW52 and SW62 models, which give you the ability to cut slabs up to 52 inches and 62 inches wide respectively.
- Portability Done Right: The SW44 isn’t just a stationary sawmill. Thanks to its trailer package, you can hit the highway without breaking a sweat. Take it to your next job site or haul it back home — no oversized load permits required.
- Durable Steel Band Wheels: Forget rubber belts. The SW44 uses precision-ground, all-steel band wheels for smoother operation, less blade stretch, and a lifespan of up to 5,000 hours. That’s what we call built to last.

Key Features of the SW44 Wide Slab Sawmill
Blade Tension That Works as Hard as You Do: The SW44 features an active spring tensioner that adjusts on the fly. No loose blades, no uneven cuts, no nonsense. Whether you’re cutting hardwood, softwood, or something in between, the tension system keeps your blade tight and your cuts clean.
Roller Guide Precision: Let’s talk accuracy. The SW44’s roller guide system ensures your blade stays aligned and stable. With eight points of adjustment, you’ve got full control. And the guides are case-hardened and precision-ground to handle the pressure without wearing out too soon.
Built to Take a Beating: This sawmill isn’t here to look pretty (though it does that too). With a heavy-duty, single-piece frame made from 3x6 steel tubing, it’s ready to take on the big logs without flinching. Stainless steel rail caps reduce friction and prevent iron stains on your wood. And if you’re worried about stability while loading, don’t be — this mill’s eight 7,000-lb jacks keep everything rock solid.
Efficient Power Options for Wide Slab Sawmills
The SW44 comes standard with a 26 HP Kohler fuel-injected engine, but if you’re the kind of sawyer who’s always asking for more power, we’ve got options. From electric setups to bigger engines, we’ll customize this mill to fit your needs. And with features like power feed and magnetic scales, you’ll get precision cuts without breaking your back.
Versatility with the SW44, SW52, and SW62 Sawmills
Whether you’re tackling massive hardwood slabs or slicing through small logs for dimensional lumber, the SW44 handles it all with ease. Its quick-adjust clamping system and removable squaring arms make switching between big and small jobs a breeze. Plus, the drip lubrication system keeps your blade clean and cool, giving you better cuts and longer blade life.
And if you need even bigger capacity, the SW52 and SW62 models take wide slab cutting to the next level with the same rugged build and precision engineering you’ve come to expect from Cooks.
