From Circle Saws To Portable Sawmills

These days, portable sawmills are fairly common.  In fact, there are lumber companies everywhere who are using portable band saws and circle saws to increase their profits.  However, it wasn't all that long ago that people had never even heard of them.  They didn't exist at all.  So, what did people do?

The very first saws were hand-held saws.  They still exist today and, although there's nothing circular about them, they are known as "circle saws".  However, they are completely different from circular table saws and mechanical saws with circular blades.

The first hand-held saws haven't changed much over the years.  However, how they are used has definitely changed.  Professional sawyers have moved well beyond hand-held devices, especially in recent years.  Hand-held saws still have their place, but only for personal use to cut down a tree or two in the yard.

Modern professional sawyers use machinery to make the lumber cutting business much more efficient.  That's why portable sawmills have become so popular.  A newer portable sawmill can cut thousands of board feet in a day.  It's more precise than a hand-held saw and much easier to use.

So, if you're looking to get into the lumber business, you really should get yourself a portable sawmill.  It can help you to turn out the maximum amount of lumber.  In fact, working just part-time, you can make thousands of dollars a year as a sawyer.  Would you like to find out how?  If so, just click here to get started with a portable sawmill.
