70" I-Beam groundbed Track- This groundbed accepts all 70" mills and surfacers, is super heavy duty with 8" x 31 lbs per foot I-beams for main beams with 6" tubing or 6" I-beams for log bunks spaced every 3' along the bed. Logbed must be supported every 10' or closer at the base anchoring plates. Using our 6" track risers to raise the bed 6" above the ground or concrete provides easier cleanup. We also recommend a leaf blower to keep floor and track cleaned, to minimize sawdust buildup on powerfeed chains, making a cleaner, safer work area. The number and spacing of square arms and log clamps can be customized according to customer needs, with a minimum of 2 required. Ground bed is priced without square arms and log clamps. Standard length of groundbed is 30', which allows for 24' length of cut. This grounbed can serve as double purpose and be used as a bed for our 70" mills and 70" slab surfacers, with both machines being used on the same track. Please remember, even though this is a super heavy-duty bed, dropping a 60" diameter oak log on this bed can still damage it! Comes painted black, complete with shims and anchor bolts if required. Call for pricing on custom lengths.

*(Optional) Square Arm and Log Clamps for 70" I-Beam Ground Bed - These heavy-duty fold down square arms can be raised and lowered with a handle on the operator side of mill and have a jamb bolt to hold them at the proper height. The log clamp slides over against the log on a 1–¾ stress-proof shaft with a binding action, then the cam action handle on log clamp securely clamps log in place. On a standard 30’ ground bed, the standard spacing on square arms and log clamps from end of ground bed is 12-18-21 feet. This allows for cutting logs from 4 to 24 feet in length. For 4’ to 6’ logs, use clamp 18-21. For 8’ to 10’ logs, use clamp 12-18. For 12’ and longer logs, use square arm 12-21 and use log clamp 18 to clamp log. Price includes square arm and log clamp.
