Custom Made to Suit Your needs

Whether you’re looking to mill high value slabs, cut commercial dimensional timber, or just mill for fun, Petersons have a mill set-up for all needs and custom build every sawmill to match your specific needs.

Improve Your Production Rate

Reports of increased milling productivity come in regularly from commercial operators, with some stating that the Peterson is the “best forestry or agriculture machine” they’ve ever purchased. 

Mill Wide Boards & Slabs With Ease

An innovative and unique feature of all Peterson Portable Sawmills, is the ease of true double cutting by a single operator without the need to turn the mill head around like imitation sawmills.

Save Time and Money With Peterson Blades

Peterson blades typically last for 2-6 years with normal use and maintenance. Some Peterson owners have even been using the same blades for over 10 years! To decrease downtime, the Peterson blade can be sharpened while it is still on the mill in less than 10 minutes, and without having to remove any guards.

Smarter Track Design

No log-turning required, a Peterson Swingblade cuts dimensional lumber straight away and you can grade as you go. Petersons track systems allow you to handle large, abrasive logs with ease.
