NORWOOD PIONEERED PERSONAL PORTABLE SAWMILLS

1993 marked the start of the personal portable sawmill revolution.

That’s when Peter Dale introduced the world to the very first affordable portable sawmill – the original LumberMate.

That was a turning point.

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE

Norwood opened a world of opportunities for everyone—for outdoorsmen, craftsmen, hard-working families, hobbyists and professional sawyers.

But that was only the beginning.

NORWOOD CONTINUES TO LEAD THE SAWMILL REVOLUTION

Now, 30 years later, Norwood continues to lead the sawmill revolution. Norwood mills are easier to use, have more patented innovations than all other mills combined, and offer you more customization options than ever before.

While Norwood mills have evolved, our mission remains the same:

To empower people everywhere to build their best futures through wood and their natural environment.

NOTHING MATCHES A NORWOOD

Norwoods are the most customizable mills available anywhere. Because your sawmill needs to be the perfect fit for the job now. And it has to keep up with you as your sawmilling operation grows in the future.

We’re proud of the industry Norwood helped pioneer. After all, there are more portable mills than ever before. But, while there are many imitators, nothing matches a genuine Norwood.

MAKE YOUR MARK

Thousands of sawyers around the world put their trust in Norwood to unlock the value in their trees. Owning a Norwood puts you in control of your future.

To build. To craft. To grow. To make your mark.
