A Sawmill for EVERY Bandsaw


Have you ever wished you could own a sawmill?  If you're a bandsaw owner, now you can!   Any bandsaw, with the addition of our Little Ripper Sawmill package can be milling logs up to 8'.  The best part?  When working with a friend, cutting 8" diameter logs, 6' long it would only take 2-3 hours to pay for the unit!  This tool will practically be paying you to use it.



The original Little Ripper was introduced over 10 years ago and it was revolutionary for allowing the average woodworker to re-saw their own lumber but it was limited to cut a log 8" x 24".  Over the years we continually heard how great The Little Ripper was, but we were always getting questions like "Can it cut anything bigger?"   Those questions ate away at Paul, so off fishing he went. ( that's where he goes to solves the woodworking world's problems)  Through trial and error, Paul re-designed The Little Ripper and introduced the Sliding Track system.  The Sliding Track system is made up of a main 28" track and  clamping mechanism.  The Track and clamps attach together to create a "table" which slides back and forth on top of the existing bandsaw table.

The bottom of The Little Ripper is lined with 3 plastic guides which allow the Ripper to sit into the track.   The Ripper is then able to slide back and forth in the track, slicing the wood.  The biggest advantage of the Sliding Track System (besides being so easy to use) is that multiple tracks can easily be attached together for cutting larger pieces.   As long as you have enough track with enough support you can cut any length up to 8'.  The Little Ripper has always been a great tool, but  when we reconfigured it to be able to handle longer pieces, that's when it REALLY took off.  The current standard kit includes a Little Ripper & Sliding track, allowing you to cut logs 14" around by 30" long.  By adding a second Little Ripper & more track you can cut 14" around up to 8' long.

With the Little Ripper you literally have the opportunity to make a product from the log to the finished product - how amazing is that?




The Little Ripper can be purchased alone or in conjunction with it's sister product, The Round Ripper.
Woodturning Design magazine featured The Little Ripper & it's sister product, The Round Ripper in it's June 2013 issue.  For plans on this unit please click HERE.

This piece was sliced using a Little Ripper and then the middle was cut using a scroll saw.  Made by recent "Customer of the Week" Bobby Roy.

  2. Nobody will ever deny the way that a bandsaw is a critical piece of any home workshop. Bandsaws permit the learner and master alike the chance to cut flexible and wood in a manner that the subsequent pieces can join to make furniture, racking, tables, or whatever else that is valuable around the home.

  4. I am struggling with the Little Ripper Sawmill package for the round bar on my Rikon 10-326. It just wasn't thought through well enough. The sliding track system is good in theory but doesn't live up to the hype. The end is not fixed in place and is free to move 20-30 degrees to the left and right horizontally. Not good for safety or for a straight cut. I can only speak to the round bar attachment. It doesn't work and is extremely aggravating to spend $800 on a defective system. I'm hoping to get some kind of reply soon because time's ticking away and I am behind on making boards for my many projects this summer.
