QUALITY BUILT
FOR THE LONG HAUL
Quality-Built Here at Home
Every Norwood sawmill is quality-built right here at home in the USA and Canada –
not in China, Taiwan or Poland. Does that make a difference? – You bet … a huge difference.
When you invest in a Norwood, you can be sure it was quality-built in the U.S.A. and Canada. Every component of every Norwood sawmill is made of top-quality
steel by highly-trained, highly-skilled operators with cutting-edge fabrication and machining technologies.
You might hear other companies claim the same thing, but be careful – Many only package
their mills here out of parts imported from China, Taiwan or Poland.
Sawmills take a beating – They have to handle heavy logs and cut accurate lumber in tough
conditions. When the chips are down, you want a sawmill that can stand up to the challenge.
Don’t trust your milling operation to an offshore import made by low-paid workers, no matter
how cheap the price seems – If they can’t get the job done, they’ll cost you way more in the
long run.
Norwood sawmills are built to cut hundreds of thousands, even millions, of board feet, day-in
and day-out. Simply put, every Norwood is built for the long-haul.
We’re just as committed to keeping jobs at home as we are to making the best sawmills in
the industry. We’re committed to keeping families healthy and whole. We’re committed to
our country. When you invest in a Norwood, you get more than a top-flight sawmill –
You stand with us behind our country.

of Personal Band Saw
Norwood was the very first company to develop personal bandmills and is the
only company to focus entirely on this class of mills. Since Norwood launched
the first LumberMate, other companies started to sell their own lines of personal
band sawmills, but only as an afterthought to their main focus on super-sized,
and super-expensive, hydraulic mills.

RIPPING CHAINS FOR
PORTAMILL CHAINSAW MILL
Chainsaws are normally used to fell trees, and the normal
chainsaw chain we are all familiar with is specifically meant
for that cross-cutting application. But sawing boards,
lengthwise down the grain, as versus cutting across the
grain for felling, involves different considerations.
Ripping chain features a special factory grind for making
dimensional boards and planks from timber by “ripping” it
(cutting parallel to the wood grain). Equipping your chainsaw
with a proper ripping chain improves both performance
and yield when you saw boards with your chainsaw and

BLADE MAINTENANCE
rw ill
oodSaw m
o
Most sharpeners and re-sharpening services only treat the tooth face. This leaves
the blade vulnerable to premature blade breakage because it completely misses
microscopic stress cracks that form at the root of the tooth and in the gullet.
The Norwood Sharpener maintains the full tooth profile including the gullet.
This unique action allows the stone to gently remove those microscopic stress
cracks that, if left unchecked, lead to premature blade failure.
Semi-automatic, simply turn the crank and the Norwood Sharpener will do the rest,
simultaneously advancing and profiling the entire blade in only about eight minutes.
The Norwood Standard Sharpener is factory-configured to profile Norwood Goldline Premium™ 7⁄ 8”-pitch blades.
Optional cams are available for other ¾”, 7⁄ 8” and 1” pitch blades*. Every Norwood Standard Sharpener comes
complete with a 110-volt high-speed rotary-tool, and six Norwood MTW ceramic-compound stones which need no
dressing or truing before use.
(Item No. 41180)

do. It’s our way of making one of the toughest jobs in
the world just a little bit easier. 1
In the forest, things rarely come easy. That’s why Norwood offers the industry’s
widest selection of private log harvesting and skidding equipment. No matter the
size of your tractor or ATV, we have easy-to-use skidders that will help you work
harder and smarter, leaving you more time to process your logs into lumber.

The Skid-Winch goes where you want, so you can winch logs from deep in the forest
right to the trail, ready for choking and hang-up-free skidding out.

Log Skidding Arch for ATV’s
Pull logs out of your woodlot and right to

The self-loading design means that, as you gun the ATV, the choked end of the log,
connected to the smooth-action roller, slides up the bar and is hoisted high into the
arch. This keeps your logs off the ground, mud-free and easier to skid. To unload,
simply reverse the ATV. The position and angle of the wheels help ensure that the
SkidMate can ride up and over small rocks and logs.
