Meet Gustaf-Guard™
Eliminate unnecessary stress from your sawmill operations
Simple to Use
Using Gustaf-Guard™ is simple and user-friendly. Just insert the shorter leg of the device into the hollow of a log stop tube with the “wing” arm extending away from the sawmill bed.
Tool Free Installation
Using Gustaf-Guard™ is a breeze – no tools required. Simply drop it into the log stop, listen for the reassuring “klink,” and you’re ready to start sawing. When you’ve finished, removing it is just as effortless.
Easy to See
We’ve opted for a high-visibility poppy red finish for Gustaf-Guard™. This choice ensures that the device is incredibly easy to spot while you’re sawing and even when it’s not in use.
“KEEPING IT SIMPLE”
Simplicity is the key to the effective functionality of Gustaf-Guard™
Tailored for Woodland Mills Sawmills
The innovative design of Gustaf-Guard™ is crafted with compatibility in mind for various Woodland Mills sawmills. The vertical leg, tailored to seamlessly fit into the standard log stop’s hollow, measures 1.5 inches in width. This ensures a smooth yet secure fit within the log stop.
Gustaf-Guard™ has the potential to be compatible with sawmills from other manufacturers such as Frontier® and Range-Road. To ensure a proper fit, be sure to measure the diagonal inside dimension of your log stop. This step will help determine the compatibility of Gustaf-Guard™ with your specific sawmill model.

How Gustaf-Guard™ Works
Ensuring Complete Protection
01
Insert Gustaf-Guard™ into first log stop
While it’s recommended to employ Gustaf-Guard™ in all of your log stops, it can still be highly effective if used in just the first log stop. Simply drop Gustaf-Guard™ into the top of the log stop and listen for that distinctive “klink.”
02
Insure all remaining stops are lowered
For comprehensive protection we strongly recommend the use of Gustaf- Guard™ in all log stops on the mill bed, including those that may not be engaged with a log or cant. In cases where log stops are not equipped with Gustaf-Guard™, it’s essential to ensure they are always secured at a lower position than the first log stop equipped with Gustaf-Guard™.
03
Start Sawing with Confidence
By following these steps, you can have complete protection against unintended saw blade contact with log stops, helping you avoid costly blade damage and ensuring safe and efficient sawmill operation.
The Gustaf-Guard™ Story
I was a new sawyer with a Woodland Mills HM 130 MAX, and I soon learned that a common hazard other sawyers faced was cutting into a log stop with the sawblade. Many sawyers joked that this was a rite of passage, but I wanted to avoid it.
