Why it pays to have a small bandsaw in your household

How does a bandsaw help you in your own household?

A compact saw can help you save valuable lumber, turn it into planks for building or repairing structures in your own household, earn money by selling lumber and - most importantly - cut logs yourself in a simply extremely convenient way!

Wood-Mizer - renowned manufacturer of ribbon saws - offers the LX50 saw small but powerful, at a price starting at from less than €3000. These bandsaws consist of a ground-level bed made of connected segments and a cutting head with two flywheels supporting the bandsaw blade. Roll the log on the bed, start the saw motor that drives the flywheels and the saw blade, and start cutting the planks one after the other. It's as easy as slicing bread with a knife.

What do LX50 owners say?

Founded in the USA in 1982, Wood-Mizer produced over 100,000 bandsaws worldwide. In Europe, LX50 is particularly popular in Germany and the Netherlands.

"Nowadays you get a very low price for unprocessed logs. It doesn't even cover the labor of felling and transporting them if they're sold as they are"says Kevin Paffratz from Germany, LX50 saw owner. "Owning a saw opens up whole new opportunities. We always have a building project that requires wood, and maintenance on existing structures often requires custom-sized planks that we can quickly produce ourselves."

"Once you discover a passion for woodworking, it never leaves you"says Bob Otten, which builds traditional Dutch thatched barns.

"There are several brands of bandsaw on the Dutch market. Wood-Mizer might be a bit more expensive, but the quality is well above average"says Bob. "The LX50 is perfect for the log sizes we process. It cuts with great precision and maintains consistent dimensions throughout the length of the planks, which is essential for our construction work. At the moment the LX50 meets all our needs"he explains.

"If demand increases in the future, we will expand production and consider a larger and stronger Wood-Mizer bandsaw." Demand for Wood-Mizer rolled bandsaws often outstrips supply, so you'll always have the option to sell the LX50 when you're ready to upgrade to a more powerful model, such as LT15 or LT20START.
