Portable Sawmill Features And Options

If you're thinking about getting into the portable sawmill business, you need to be aware of some of the features and options that you have.  There are several things that make one sawmill better than another.  Just ask a sawyer like Scott Irvin.

Scott Irvin's father was in the sawmilling business for the entire time that Scott and his brother were growing up.  So, Scott saw the sawmilling industry first-hand, even though he himself went into the papermill industry, at first.

At the time, Scott wasn't sure about the current sawmilling industry back in the 1990's, but he saw the potential and the room for growth.  So, a few years ago, by the time Scott had a chance to buy the family business, he decided that the industry was finally ready, thanks to advancements in portable sawmills.  That's when he switched from papermilling to sawmilling full-time.

Scott now has two AC-36 model portable sawmills from Cook's Saw and he loves them.  One of the features that he likes is that they use thin kerf blades.  Kerf blades make lest waste and are much more efficient than other blades.  Also, Scott loves the fact that his band saw portable sawmills are much more efficient than the circular saws used in his father's time.

Another thing that Scott Irvin really likes is how versatile his two sawmills are.  He can use them to cut just about anything, not just the rail ties his father had focused on for years.  That means more business for Scott.  It also means that he can make use of almost any type of lumber.
