High speed, good for production lines.

Often used in industrial lumber factories.

3. Portable Automatic Sawmills

Mounted on wheels or tracks.

Suitable for field cutting—tree farms, rural areas.

Can include auto-feed and programmable cutting.

4. Automatic Vertical / Horizontal Resaws

Used to further process cants into boards.

Ideal for high-volume operations.

5. CNC-Controlled Sawmills

Fully computer-controlled.
