Benefits Of An Environmentally Sound Portable Sawmill Business

There are many benefits to creating an environmentally sound portable sawmill business and those benefits aren't just for the environment.  It can also benefit your bank account to employ environmentally sound practices at your lumber mill.  In fact, if you go about the process properly, you can save not just the environment, but also time, money and trouble.

For example, it's more environmentally sound to sharpen, flatten and set your band saw blades several times before you actually replace them.  That way, you won't be wasteful.  The added benefit is that you won't have to spend as much money on replacement blades as you would if you didn't bother sharpening, flattening and setting them.

There are two ways to go about the sharpening process.  One way is to send your blades to someone else to have them sharpened.  Another is to simply do the sharpening, flattening and setting in-house.  Alvin King is an expert sawyer and he gets all of his in-house sharpening tools from Cook's Saw.

Another way that sawyers are saving money and being environmentally friendly is by knowing their limitations.  For example, Alvin King often resells lumber that he cannot cut himself.  That minimizes wasted lumber and brings in more profits for Mr. King.

As you can see, there are a lot of ways to be both profitable and environmentally friendly in the portable sawmill industry.  Those are just a few examples.  Would you like to see more?  If so, just go to www.cookssaw.com to find some great sawmilling equipment and handy businesses tips about making the most of the portable sawmill business.
