Convenience: The ability to mill logs on-site, where the trees are.

Cost savings: Can save money on lumber over time, as the raw material (logs) is often free or cheaper.

Customization: Allows for custom-sized boards to fit specific project needs.

Value-added services: Enables the conversion of a waste product (logs) into usable lumbe.

Types of portable sawmills

Manual models: These are often the most economical and can be as simple as a guide that fits onto a chainsaw for ultra-portable milling.

Powered models: These are typically gasoline-powered and offer more power and precision, with options for automated or hydraulic features.

Hydraulic models: The most robust type, with hydraulic systems to help with heavy lifting, clamping, and log turning, making it easier to mill large logs.
