The Log Wizard: Transform Your Chainsaw into a Log-Prep Workhorse

If you’ve ever built with logs, prepared firewood, or cleared land, you know how much time and effort goes into prepping each piece. The Log Wizard is a simple yet powerful tool that turns your chainsaw into a multipurpose machine—capable of debarking, planing, notching, and shaping logs on-site.

Proudly made in Alberta, Canada, the Log Wizard has been trusted by log-home builders, sawyers, and forestry workers since 1984. And now, you can purchase it directly at Axeman.ca.

What Is the Log Wizard?

The Log Wizard is a precision-built chainsaw attachment that mounts directly to your chainsaw bar. Once installed, it allows your saw to remove bark, plane surfaces, and shape logs with speed and accuracy.

Instead of hauling logs to a mill or using several heavy machines, this lightweight tool brings that functionality straight to the worksite. Whether you’re cleaning up wind-fallen trees or preparing timbers for a cabin build, the Log Wizard saves time, space, and effort.

Key Features and Benefits

Multi-Function Tool — Debark, plane, notch, and sharpen posts with one simple attachment.
Portable and Compact — Weighing only about 3 lbs, it’s easy to transport anywhere your saw can go.
Canadian Built Quality — Designed and manufactured in Alberta for nearly 40 years.
Efficient and Cost-Effective — Replace multiple specialized machines with one durable attachment.
Perfect for Remote Work — Ideal for cabins, backcountry builds, wildfire fuel prep, or sawmill sites.

The Log Wizard turns an ordinary chainsaw into a true all-in-one log-preparation tool—right in your hands.

Technical Details and Compatibility

Fits Most Gas Chainsaws — Recommended for saws with at least a 16″ bar.
Not for Electric Saws — Electric models often lack the power to drive the drum effectively.
Blades — Uses two standard 3-¼″ planer blades, easily replaceable or resharpened.
Chain Pitch Compatibility — Works with both .325″ and 3/8″ pitches.
Installation — Requires drilling two small holes in the bar tip and using a slightly longer chain (about 2″ longer than standard).

Installation takes about 15 minutes. Once mounted, the Log Wizard runs smoothly using the chainsaw’s powerhead to spin the planer drum.

Real-World Applications

The Log Wizard is designed for anyone who works with raw logs or lumber. Here’s how it’s commonly used:

Log Home Builders — Perfect for debarking, planing, and creating joints or notches for corner fits.
Landowners & Firewood Prep — Quickly remove bark before splitting, or clean logs for fire breaks.
Portable Sawmill Operators — Pre-plane or clean logs before milling to protect blades.
Fence Builders & Farmers — Sharpen posts or smooth poles for fencing and corrals.
Forestry Crews — Used for bark-beetle control or general wood-prep in remote areas.

Wherever you use a chainsaw, the Log Wizard brings extra capability and control.

Safety and Best Practices

Like any chainsaw accessory, the Log Wizard demands proper safety precautions:

Always wear full chainsaw PPE: helmet, visor, gloves, chaps, and steel-toe boots.
Ensure the chainsaw has proper power and chain tension before use.
Secure the log on a stable support—never work on a rolling log.
Allow the planer drum to do the work; don’t force it.
Keep blades sharp and balanced for smooth, controlled operation.

Following these steps ensures safe, efficient, and accurate results every time.

Maintenance and Blade Care

The Log Wizard is simple to maintain:

Sharpen or replace the 3-¼″ planer blades as needed.
Keep your bar and chain clean and lubricated.
Check bolts, sprockets, and chain tension regularly.
Store the unit in a dry place or hard-shell case between uses.
Periodically inspect the drum for wear or imbalance.

With proper care, this attachment will last for many years of heavy use.
