3 Reasons Your Next Bandsaw Sawmill Should Be Portable

Whether you’re a landowner, sawyer, or woodworking hobbyist, a bandsaw sawmill is a valuable tool. Eventually, you’ll find yourself ready for an upgrade or a replacement and, when that time comes, you’ll need to put a lot of thought into what your next bandsaw mill will look like. 

Bandsaw Sawmill

Some considerations will remain the same. You know what sort of capability you need, what your budget is, and, of course, you know your next mill should feature high-quality sawmill parts and practical features without breaking the bank.

But one question looms large: Should your next bandsaw sawmill be portable?

In a word: yes. If you’ve never owned or operated a portable bandsaw mill, you’ve been missing out. Once you own one, you’ll be amazed at just how beneficial they are.

Still, you shouldn’t just take a stranger’s word for it. Let’s have a look at three distinct advantages that portable bandsaw mills have over their stationary counterparts.

A Portable Bandsaw Mill Can Pay for Itself

Whether you’re purchasing a pack of bubblegum or a bandsaw mill, price is a crucial factor. You can’t afford to overpay for a bandsaw mill that lacks the features and capability you need. Fortunately, the industry’s best-valued bandsaw sawmills are available at a price point that even a hobbyist can justify.

When you get a dependable new bandsaw sawmill at the right price, then look at the price of lumber these days, it’s easy to see that your portable mill will pay for itself. Of course, this depends on how much you use it, but every lumber yard trip you avoid is money in your pocket, thanks to your portable bandsaw sawmill.

You Can Mill at the Source with a Portable Bandsaw Sawmill

The ability to take your bandsaw mill with you to mill at the source is an absolute game-changer. Think of all the time and effort you’ll save hauling logs, not to mention the fuel.

When you buy from one of the forestry industry’s leading manufacturers, you can even take the portability of your new mill to the next level with a sawmill trailer. These trailers let you take your bandsaw mill virtually anywhere, giving you the ability to traverse rugged terrain or nimbly navigate your forested acreage as you head toward that choice timber you’ve been eying.

Setting Up, Moving, and Storing a Portable Sawmill is a Cinch

Stationary machinery is, by design, cumbersome. But that isn’t the case with a portable bandsaw mill. Whether you’re setting it up for the first time, moving to a different site, or storing it in your shop, a portable sawmill is surprisingly simple to handle.

This is especially true if you purchased a trailer to accompany your new portable mill. A well-built trailer with a rigid frame and leveling legs or jacks is exactly what you need to ensure clean, consistent cuts while milling. Then, when you’re done, it’s easy to tow your trailer to a storage location.
