Get to Know AWMV Industrial Products
There is no doubt Wood-Mizer is one of the most recognized and visible names in the portable sawmill industry.
This reputation is a result of perseverance and hard work. AWMV is driven to command the same presence in the
commercial sawmill market. Whether it is the equipment, company, or people, two things are for sure: AWMV is
strong and solid.

Who is AWMV?
AWMV is a division of Wood-Mizer Products, Inc. and focuses on industrial solutions for business applications.
Although Wood-Mizer has manufactured industrial machines since 1991, the name AWMV was introduced in 2004
to differentiate our portable mills from the larger, stationary mills, resaws, edgers and log handling equipment.
Bottom Line – AWMV manufactures machines that make you money.
Our entire line is designed to
reduce capital costs, labor costs,
material costs, energy costs,
and maintenance costs, while
producing lumber with amazing
effectiveness.

What does AWMV stand for?
Well, inside the walls of Wood-Mizer, AWMV stands for “Another Wood-Mizer Vision” but to the industry and our
customers we are simply AWMV.
Bottom Line – Just call us AWMV.
How is AWMV the same as Wood-Mizer?
More than 25 years ago, Wood-Mizer revolutionized the sawmill industry with thin-kerf technology and our
cantilever design, changing the way people sawed logs into lumber. That commitment to innovation continues
today. Whether you are a Wood-Mizer or AWMV customer, you are backed by the industry’s best research and
development, engineering, technical support, and customer service people.
Bottom Line – We are the same company dedicated to innovation and
customer satisfaction.
How is AWMV different than Wood-Mizer?
There are some simple answers: AWMV equipment is green and stationary, while Wood-Mizer is orange and
portable. More importantly, though, AWMV is all about business. We know you don’t buy an
industrial machine to pursue a dream project, woodworking hobby, or side income. You buy it to
produce greater lumber output and profit.
Bottom Line – AWMV makes industrial machines and systems to
support your business.
What can AWMV do for me?
AWMV knows how to use thin-kerf, narrow-band technology to maximize
profits for your business. Our entire line is designed to reduce your
costs for labor, blades, energy, and maintenance. Whether you
need a single machine or a complete sawmill system, we have
solutions that will enhance your operation and take your sawing
to the next level.
Bottom Line – AWMV can reduce your costs and
maximize your profitability.

Keeping An Eye Toward the Future
It’s the Future...If you haven’t heard about AWMV’s new 4250SCH, now is a great time to get introduced. This
high-production bandmill combines a traveling, thin-kerf sawhead with a stationary log carriage. The way it
works is simple: the log carriage (built by Cleerman Industries) remains stationary while the 17 degree slanted
sawhead moves back and forth through the log. Featuring a 50HP motor and 42” bandwheels, it offers highspeed processing, high yields, and low operating costs.
The 4250SCH is equipped to process logs up to 42” in diameter and 18 feet long. The 4250SCH utilizes a
thin-kerf, 2” wide bandsaw blade. Other features include a shock-absorbing conveyor for boards, slabs, and cants;
and a conventional AC drive cable/drum that moves the sawhead using only 20HP. It can run
as the primary headrig, a grade saw, a long log saw, or as a supplement to a breakdown line.
Not only is it flexible, the 4250SCH reduces operating costs, produces high yields and
ultimately provides higher profits.
Give us a call and let’s talk about how the 4250SCH can help
take your business to the next level with maximum output at minimum cost.
This is a machine that will make you money.
The new LT300 Pantograph replaces
the traditional cat-track (cable carrier)
system by running the cables overhead
rather than along the bed. The NEW
Pantograph is a money saving upgrade
that eliminates maintenance costs
involved with the cat-track. Existing
owners who have moved up to the
Pantograph love it!
You can upgrade your LT300 or order
a new LT300 with this great option.
Cables flex less
on a pantograph
resulting in
longer cable life.

Jason Smith - Westbury Lumber Company, is a classic example of a
business that has achieved success. Jason grew up working in the woods with
his father and saw the challenges of a logging lifestyle first-hand. Jason was
drawn to the lumber side of the business and earned his grading certification
from the NHLA. While working as a grader at a large hardwood mill, Jason’s
interest shifted from analyzing the lumber to sawing it.
In the early ‘90’s, Jason started his own business with a mere $250 in his pocket.
Over the course of several years, Jason’s sawing business experienced steady
growth. He was hiring people and running multiple shifts to get the work done. Like every good business
owner, Jason had a plan to take his operation to the next level and he purchased an AWMV LT300 headrig
along with two sets of three-way conveyors and an E430 edger. A few years later he added a second LT300
to further increase his production.
Even through the tough economic conditions of today,
Jason has continued to employ several people at his Red
Creek, New York, location and keep his eye toward the
future. When AWMV introduced the new 4250 Stationary
Carriage Headrig, Jason was intrigued by the technology.
Recently, he traveled to AWMV’s headquarters in Indiana
to “test drive” the new 4250 Headrig and was having
so much fun, Mike had to convince him to stop and grab
some lunch.
