Join Chris Browne from Peterson Sawmills New Zealand, alongside local legend Eoin O Connell from Arborist Tree Services. Based in Sligo, Eion is a highly qualified arborist with over 30 years’ international experience and a deep passion for trees and the environment. Since 2006, he’s had a Peterson WPF as part of his shop arsenal.
At this live demo, discover how to operate a Peterson swingblade sawmill, optimise your timber yield, and learn practical tips on site setup and maintenance. Peterson Portable Sawmills, the original designers of the portable swingblade sawmill, have been innovating and manufacturing globally for over 35 years.
Chris says, “I enjoy meeting new people worldwide and find I gel well with most millers and sawyers, who tend to be friendly, resourceful, and practical.”
