Peterson Portable Sawmill Videos
Video Gallery
The Peterson swingblade concept, really does have to be seen to be believed. View the portable sawmill videos below to get a better idea of how the mills work.
Remember to turn your speakers on.
All Terrain Sawmill (ATS)
ATS in Action
The ATS uses a raised track system allowing it to be assembled on nearly any terrain type, meaning it can handle the tough conditions of jungle, bush or forest. It makes milling high volumes of wood easy, without the large price tag attached to most commercial mills.
Winch Production Frame (WPF)
WPF in Action
Our flagship model, the WPF is a semi-commercial manual sawmill. While still highly portable, the ideal setup is for fixed site sawmillers with the option of a Hi/Lo frame and electric winch.
Peterson Electric Winch
An electric winch can be added to a Peterson Winch Production Frame sawmill to allow faster vertical sizing. With the push of a button you can raise and lower the tracks to the desired height.
Automated Swingblade Mill (ASM)
The ASM Promo Video
This video will explain the main operating features which make the ASM such a popular portable sawmill worldwide.
ASM Board Remover
For even more automation, add the board remover to the ASM. In this video, you will see the Peterson board remover push an 8″ x 8″ board weighing 488 pounds.
ASM in Action
The world’s first Automated Swingblade Mill cutting super efficiently at a local Agricultural show. The ASM purrs, and the operator’s pretty happy too, he hardly has to move an inch!
Dedicated Wide Slabber (DWS)
Wide slabs can be extremely valuable – up to five times the value of an equivalent amount of sawn dimensional timber. Cutting up to 40 slabs per hour the Dedicated Wide Slabber is a purpose-built slabbing unit, built to fit in a Peterson ATS, WPF or ASM.

Peterson WPF Cutting a Whole Log in Under 10minutes!
Here we show the Peterson Winch Production Frame (WPF) cutting through a log in less than ten minutes, getting great recovery throughout and leaving very little waste at the end.
Double Cutting for wide boards with a Peterson Mill
A double cut is the joining of two horizontal cuts together to obtain a wider board using both sides of the blade. With the Peterson range, there is no need to turn the mill to achieve the double cut as you will see in our videos.
