Demos, Dates, & Details: Catch Peterson Sawmills Live in North America

Test the Power & Precision of a Peterson Sawmill

For the first time since 2017, the Peterson Sawmills team is back on Canadian soil. Together with our Canadian Junior Peterson distributor, Wallenstein Equipment , we are taking the Junior Peterson on an exclusive live sawmill demonstration tour across Canada and Ohio.

Partnering with Wallenstein Equipment and their regional dealer network, this roadshow features the highly versatile Junior Peterson (JP) portable sawmill. It offers sawyers, woodworkers, and timber producers a hands-on look at high-performance portable milling in action. Whether you are looking to start a custom milling business, maximize timber recovery on your property, or upgrade your current setup, these live events give you front-row access to precision engineering and expert advice directly from Peterson specialists and Wallenstein representatives

Whether you’re a seasoned sawyer or just considering your very first sawmill, these events are designed to give you confidence. Get up close, operate* the mills yourself, ask questions, and discover how a Peterson sawmill can fit your specific timber needs.

*Please bring/wear your chainsaw safety gear.
