Whether You’re Experienced or Starting Out.
Sawmilling is part of a hands-on, outdoor, get-it-done way of life that should be as fun as it is rewarding. Norwood sawmills are engineered to crank out valuable boards and beams, but more importantly, they’re designed to be easy to use. Equipment that works with you instead of against you is more productive—and a whole lot more fun.
Get More Done Faster.
Know you’ve got the right tool for the job with Sawyer-Assist® technology—higher efficiency, better accuracy, and unparalleled ease of use. These patented inventions eliminate time-wasting operations and deliver intelligent design features that no other sawmill can offer. Saw your lumber with confidence knowing your mill is packed with technology only available on a Norwood.
Exceptional Efficiency Without Sacrificing Choice.
Meet Norwood’s patented Infinitely-Variable Auto-Locking Sawhead. Designed to remove repetitive steps, so you can enjoy more time cutting. Imagine eliminating two steps for every board you cut. This adds up to hundreds of operations each day. Adjusting the sawhead is also as accurate as it is easy. Because it is infinitely-variable, you have absolute control to fine-tune the precise thickness of every board.
Superior Stability Means Even Cutting.
Stop worrying about bounce, sag and sway. All Norwood bandmills use a 4-post carriage structure. This means better sawhead stability for even, accurate cutting. Norwood’s mills don’t stop there. 2½" tubular steel rear vertical supports fortify the mill. And precision-extruded guides deliver smooth sawhead operation. Run your Norwood confident the rigid carriage frame will give you accurate cuts.
Keep Your Options Open to Saw Longer Logs.
Every Norwood bandmill has a standard 16-foot (4.8m) log deck so you can cut up to 13-feet (4m) long depending on the model. But you don’t need to stop there. Add one, or several, optional 4-foot (1.2m) extensions to saw longer.* Some Norwood owners are sawing logs over 40 feet (12.1m) Imagine the possibilities!
*Limit of one permanent 4-foot (1.2m) log deck extension recommended on models configured for towing.
EZ Blade Tension System.
Say goodbye to frustrating blade changes and bandwheel adjustments. Norwood’s patented laminated sawhead and EZ blade tension system preserves critical bandwheel alignment while tensioning the blade. Blade changes are fast and easy—just turn the “T” handle and get back to sawing.
Ultra-Customizable Sawmills.
No two sawyers are the same. Norwood sawmills are tailor-made to suit your needs today—and grow with you tomorrow. Choose from dozens of production-boosting attachments and upgrade anytime. Don’t get trapped with a mill that can’t keep up.
