When Wood-Mizer entered the portable sawmill business more than 20 years ago, it became evident that improvements were needed in the quality and performance of blades. After having limited success with other manufacturers, we decided to produce our own.

To this day, Wood-Mizer is the only sawmill manufacturer that produces its own blades. We have an entire team of blade researchers who rigorously test the steel used in our blades. We use the best equipment available to manufacture the blades, including our very own CBN grinder, sophisticated computerized setters, and cut to length equipment. This is the same equipment used in our exclusive blade maintenance program, called ReSharp. Wood-Mizer is the only company that provides this service to its blade customers. This service uses the same superior equipment to re-sharpen blades, providing you with a more accurate blade and performance compared to blades sharpened elsewhere.

Wood-Mizer is credited with revolutionizing thin-kerf technology. Sawyers can saw more lumber quicker while using less horsepower. This means lower energy costs, less noise and pollution, and less maintenance for you, and, when the day is done, you'll find less sawdust and more usable lumber.
