Buying A Portable Sawmill Based On Professional Needs

There are a lot of great portable sawmills out there.  In fact, companies like Cook's Saw have been developing powerful portable sawmills for years.  However, not every sawmill works for every sawyer.  So, if you're looking to buy one, you should consider your professional needs.

                             
Start by determining how much lumber you want to cut.  If you own a small family operation or only have a couple of employees, a small or medium-sized portable sawmill will do nicely.  If, on the other hand, you have a large operation, you may need a larger, more heavy-duty portable sawmill.

You also have to consider the portability of the sawmill.  Are you going to be able to to transport a large sawmill to the lumber, or will you be mainly bringing the lumber to the mill?  Be sure to buy a portable sawmill that you are capable of transporting, if you plan to bring the mill to the lumber.

Next, consider the type of lumber that you will be cutting.  Will you be dealing mainly with harder woods or softer woods?  Will you be cutting small logs or large logs?  Will you be dealing with straight logs, bent or knotted logs or logs or logs with other sorts of issues?  The larger, more heavy-duty portable sawmills are better equipped to handle over sided or problematic lumber cutting.

So, as you can see, there is a lot to think about when you are choosing a portable sawmill.  Do you want to learn how to simplify the process?  If so, visit www.cookssaw.com to browse through a great collection of portable sawmills and get some excellent buying advice.
