Buying Equipment?

This service is simple and straightforward. This service to buyers is free.  Buyers purchase directly from the sellers, and the sellers pay our fee. 
Our intent is to try to make sure you have good information so you can make informed decisions.

bullet

 Most people can’t always know everything there is to know about sawmill equipment.  This is why we try to BRIEFLY talk with people interested in buying equipment about both the good and bad points of the equipment you are interested in.

bullet

If you are new to the industry, we can try to assist you in deciding which equipment may be best for you.

bullet

If you are an “old hand” at sawmilling, we can get you in touch with the sellers quickly.

bullet

If you are also selling equipment, you may have questions of us, and we may need to clarify some information about your ad. 

bullet

After you have looked over the ads and have picked out the equipment you are interested in, please make your first contact to Sawmill Exchange by telephone. Phone calls normally get priority over emails as we try to explain the pros and cons of the equipment to help people make informed decisions.

We operate this way because it's good business. It empowers the buyer with good information, it saves the seller time and effort, and it lets us show that we treat people honestly and fairly.  Win-win all the way around.

BAND SAWMILLS
Manual Feed Band Sawmills  Lower cost band sawmills best for farm, small acreage, or personal use
Automatic Feed Band Sawmills  Mills with automatic carriage feed, some with automatic setworks, but do not include log handling hydraulics.  These mills are best for less labor-intensive personal use or for limited custom sawing.
Hydraulic Band Sawmills  Mills that include hydraulic log loading, turning, clamping, and some with hydraulic toe boards/taper for ease of operation and custom sawing
Higher Production Band Sawmills  Higher end mills and complete operations for greater production, custom sawing, and commercial lumber manufacturing

CIRCULAR SAWMILLS
1-2 Man Circular Sawmills Portable and transportable mills for 1-2 person personal and commercial use.
Handset Circular Sawmills Manual circular sawmills for personal or commercial use. These mills normally require 3-5 men for commercial operations but can be run with fewer if production is not important.
Auto/Semiauto Circular Sawmills Higher production automatic and semiautomatic circular sawmills for commercial use. These mills normally require at least 3-5 experienced operators
