What Is A Bandsaw Sawmill?

Bandsaw sawmill is the most widely used cutting tool in the primary breakdown of logs. The board foot yield from a typical bandsaw mill will be greater than that of a typical circular mill. Bandsaws result in less sawdust and more lumber due to a smaller kerf.

A bandsaw sawmill is a type of sawmill that uses a band saw blade to cut logs or timber into lumber. Unlike traditional circular sawmills, which use a circular blade, bandsaw sawmills have a continuous loop blade that moves in a vertical direction. This allows for more precise and efficient cutting, as well as the ability to cut larger logs. Bandsaw sawmills are often used by small-scale lumber producers or for processing specialty woods due to their versatility and relatively compact size compared to other types of sawmills.
