"The AWMV Sawmill is a much safer machine than anything else I've seen and, because a blade can be changed in less than five minutes, downtime is absolutely minimized in our plant."

The Wood-Mizer WM1000 is designed to saw large logs including hardwood, softwood, and tropical species. Durable and easy to use, this mill features a saw head with a massive throat opening that moves along a twin-rail frame. The WM1000 breaks down large logs with a capacity center cut of 67" and uses thin-kerf narrow band blades that measure 2" to 3" wide and provide more material recovery. With the WM1000, logs can be sawed into half, quarters, or cut into manageable cants for resawing. The operator safely controls all cutting functions while standing on a platform that moves with the head and includes computerized setworks. Built to last and run effortlessly in industrial applications, it easily integrates into existing operations with low installation costs. 

 

 

 

The control panel is conveniently located on the operator station and includes setworks. The setworks increases productivity and accurately positions the head for the next cut.
