When Wood-Mizer Started 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, with a multitude of benefits to the consumer. Sawyers can saw more lumber faster, using less horsepower. That means lower energy costs, less noise and pollution, and less maintenance. And when the day is done, you'll find much less sawdust-because our thin-kerf technology is designed to use more wood than ever before.
