SPECIAL FEATURE – WM1000• New mill for MASSIVE logs• Goby Walnut runs the WM1000• WM1000 showcased at Ligna

Wood-Mizer has released the new industrial-grade WM1000. Developed both to break down up to 67” diameter logs and to saw high value logs where the thin-kerf blade and wide cutting ensures maximum resale value.

Jim Evans, Owner of Far West Forest Products in California has been running a WM1000 for several months and said, “The WM1000 is what all of us cutting big logs, one piece doors, wide counter tops, crotches, and burls have been waiting for. This will save our backs, man hours, and valuable lumber – I am truly amazed at how true it cuts with very little waste.”

The new sawmill can be purchased with or without a log bed, and the rails can be extended to any length for cutting multiple or long logs. The ride-a-long control platform and operator console is mounted on the head, allowing the operator to closely observe and control the cutting process. The WM1000 comes standard with Wood-Mizer’s Setworks system, which enables the operator to pre-set the required board thickness. Variable forward and reverse speed allow the operator to adjust cutting speed to suit the size and species being cut.

The WM1000 uses 2”-3” wide thin-kerf blades to reduce waste and maximize recovery. Hydraulic blade tensioning ensures accurate cutting with a smooth fi nish, whether the user is halving, quartering, or producing slabs for further processing.

Art Blumenkron, owner of Goby Walnut and Western Hardwoods, located in Portland, Oregon, recently installed a WM1000 and commented: “Our fi nish on the slabs is much better than [our previous mill] and we yield an extra slab on every log… We also plan to use the WM1000 for a large re-saw and for parting out logs to be cut on our smaller sawmill.”

Our entire line is designed to reduce capital costs, labor costs, material costs, energy costs, and maintenance costs, while producing lumber with amazing effectiveness.

A Word from Goby Walnut and Western Hardwoods on the WM1000After running the new WM1000, Art Blumenkron said, “We recently cut a 15’ long, 48” diameter walnut log and were amazed to fi nd that the thickness of the slabs didn’t vary by more than 1/32” over the whole 15’. Our fi nish on the slabs is much better than [our previous sawmill], and we yield an extra slab on every log. Another consideration is time…it takes only 5 minutes to complete a cut on a large slab... the WM1000 is quiet enough to hold a conversation while cutting and is rock solid. We also plan to use the WM1000 for a large re-saw and for parting out logs to be cut on our smaller sawmill.” Goby is a 35-year-old company that special-izes in salvaging dead and dying trees from around the Northwest and Northern California. Trees come from residential property, forests, golf courses, and farms. Black walnut trees, which can be particularly large in Oregon, are the primary target, though the company also processes maple, oak and elm trees.

In 2005, Ed Robbins, owner of Ohio Valley Veneer was auctioning off a mill and downsizing, until he hit upon what he calls the key to turning a struggling mill into a “profi t center”.

After 6 years of struggling, he was ready to try anything that would help his Piketon, Ohio facility become profi table. He put the circle mill up for auction and made a decision to install a Wood-Mizer LT300 (now the WM3000) thin-kerf headrig. Ed’s lead sawyer Walt Vanhoy had this to say, “I thought he was joking… I had always run the big mills, and I didn’t think it would work.”

But with a thin-kerf headrig installed at the Piketon mill, exclusively sawing high-grade walnut logs, margins increased and profi tability returned. Ed’s electric bill dropped to less than a third of what he had been paying. Being able to produce more product from fewer logs

cut down on trucking costs and increased the profi t per log. And the thin-kerf blades were much cheaper to replace and sharpen than his old circular blade.

“As soon as I bought the Wood-Mizer, it’s been a profi t center ever since. There’s a spot for the

Wood-Mizer [head-rig]. And that is sawing that high dollar product, where you’re giving up a little volume, but you’re making it up with your margins.”

So what does Walt, Ed’s lead sawyer think about his employer’s “crazy” decision now? He now says, “This is what’s got us through the reces-sion. …We were making lumber and making money when everyone else was shutting down. For sawing the high dollar lumber, in my opinion, these mills are the only way to go.”

Ed Robbins now has a total of three Wood-Mizer headrigs and plans on continuing to invest in

thin-kerf sawmills as he expands his business into sawing African mahogany and walnut. His advice to his sons, who want to get started in this business, is, “I tell them I’d put in a WM3000 feeding a band resaw. You’ll be effi cient, your overhead’s going to be down... To me, that is a perfect setup, especially in this market.”
