What Is The Difference between A Sawmill And A Horizontal Sawmill?

A sawmill is a broad term for any facility that processes logs into lumber using saws. 

A horizontal sawmill is a specific type of sawmill where the blade is positioned horizontally, cutting through the log as it moves along this axis. This setup can be ideal for certain cutting patterns and log sizes, offering different advantages compared to vertical sawmills, where the blade is oriented vertically.
