"The LT20B is a compact machine. I think it has many advantages due to its small size and light weight. This saw could even be used in a shipyard on ships being repaired"says the Polish contractor Mr. Zygmunt Koss, who won the tender and took part in a large European project to produce wooden beams for the formwork of wind power plants in the North Sea. He operates a Wood-Mizer LT20B Wood-Mizer bandsaw, which later helped him build a wooden house in Poland. "The prosperity of our company began with the Wood-Mizer saw. It is the machine that allows us to fulfill our woodworking orders"says Mr. Koss.

The LT20 saw shines in projects where precision and quality are crucial. The LT20 played a key role in the restoration of a 100-year-old wagon in Spain, where it was essential to closely match the original style. LT20 produced everything on site, from cladding and interior paneling to windows and flooring, under the watchful eyes of cultural heritage inspectors.

"Thanks to my saw, I've done most of the work to restore wagons. The Wood-Mizer doesn't just cut logs. This machine makes precise cuts, which is very important when separate details are needed. I saved a lot of wood and time"says Emilio González Rodriguez, who took part in the restoration project. "I'm a Wood-Mizer fan! This saw is my best assistant."

The portability of the LT20 has changed the traditional way of using the saw, allowing it to be moved directly to restoration sites, such as a railway project in Spain or replacing the roof of an ancient monastery in Bulgaria. Here, LT20 produced wood, essential for the monastery's sensitive restoration needs, which required planks of specific sizes that were hard to find and hard to buy.

Thanks to its mobility, the LT20 saw can be transported to remote or problematic locations, making the most of local resources while providing excellent cutting accuracy and efficiency. This capability has increased its demand in historic restoration projects, proving that it's not just about cutting wood, it's also about preserving history.

Craft heritage and the community

The LT20 saw is not just a machine; it is a cornerstone for family businesses, often passed down through generations. Deeply rooted in their local communities, these businesses rely on the LT20 to maintain the quality and service that has become their trademark. The LT20 Sawmill allows new generations to continue to expand their operations while maintaining the trust earned locally.

The Peretti family in Italy are keeping their traditional craft of wooden spoons and plates alive thanks to the LT20 saw. Around 300 small companies existed in the Val Strona Valley (also known as the 'Spoon Valley'), each making wooden products and spoons and selling them throughout Italy. Now only 30 are left.

"It used to be that everyone here simply focused on quantity instead of quality. With the crisis and the influx of imports, everything changed and not everyone managed to survive"he shares Noris Peretti, one of three family members continuing a successful family business. "Wood-Mizer has opened up a world of opportunities. It made us more competitive on price, as we no longer had to rely on an external mill to produce lumber. It increased our level of independence and flexibility."

Active retirement

In addition, the LT20 is perfect for retirees looking for an active, rewarding lifestyle close to nature. It allows them to engage in woodworking while maintaining their physical activity and mental acuity. 

The LT20 saw is not only good for cutting wood, but also for making community connections. Retirees often use it to help their neighbors, sustainably manage local forests, and even produce custom furniture that showcases the uniqueness of local resources.

"I always wanted to find a place where I could relax and have a close contact with nature"says Henry Kurzaj, a retired French engineer who likes to cut with his LT20 saw and make tables, benches, chairs or shelves  - all made of natural solid wood. "I'm glad that I can use beautiful local wood that didn't come from a distant continent. I'm proud to be able to work with wood from my own forest. It gives me real inspiration."

Urban discharge 

The LT20 saw is suitable for cutting urban wood, turning old wood, dead trees and unused logs from potential waste into valuable resources. Turns wood salvaged from structures such as old barns into usable materials. Downed trees, instead of being discarded or turned into firewood, are cut into planks and beams with the LT20 saw. These can be used to make benches, fences, walkways or other objects to beautify urban and rural environments.

Particularly useful for urban park maintenance services, foresters and farmers, the LT20 saw helps manage land more responsibly by carefully clearing away unwanted wood. It supports environmental cleanliness and sustainability by enabling users to transform overlooked wood into functional and aesthetically pleasing materials for the community.
