What is a sawmill machine?

A sawmill machine is a mechanical device used to cut logs into lumber (boards, planks, beams, etc.). It’s basically the first step in turning raw timber into usable wood for construction, furniture, or other woodworking projects.

How it works:

* Logs are fed into the sawmill.

* The machine slices the logs into different sizes and shapes using large saw blades or bandsaws.

* The resulting lumber is then further processed, dried, and finished.

Types of sawmill machines:

1. Circular sawmill — uses a big circular blade.

2. Band sawmill — uses a long, continuous band blade.

3. Chainsaw mill — portable and uses a chainsaw for cutting.

4. Swing blade sawmill — has a blade that pivots to make cuts.

Purpose:

* To efficiently convert logs into boards and planks.

* Allows woodworkers to source custom sizes and cuts.

* Important for large-scale lumber production and small-scale woodworkers alike.
