The best portable sawmill in the world. Commercial production at the push of a button.
Unlike a traditional bandsaw mill, our swingblade design allows the ASM operator to make horizontal and vertical cuts, change the size or depth of the cut, and remove the previously cut board, all at the touch of a button. The drive unit is separately motorised to ensure no power is taken from the main sawing head.
With a range of cut sizes up to 12 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ standard, or 11 1/2″ x 24 1/2″ for double cuts, you can cut wide boards comparable to a bandsaw, but without having to turn the log or resaw a single board. Peterson thin-kerf blades cut straight and true, meaning you can use timber straight off the mill.
“The ASM comes standard with a board remover, allowing you to push sawn timber to the far end of the mill, or drag the sawn timber back toward the operator. The operator does not have to enter the milling area during sawing, which makes the ASM one of the safest portable sawmills in the world.”

All controls and adjustments for operating the Peterson ASM are located at the operator's end of the sawmill. Ideal for fixed operation and full-time commercial sawmilling.
The optional handheld wireless control upgrade eliminates the 12v cable, giving the operator total freedom to move about the site and operate from any position.
The only portable sawmill in the world with a dual-end board remover that can slide boards up to 220kg (488lbs) off EITHER end of the log.
The Peterson Hi/Lo track set-up provides the optimum structural support to the box-frame design, offering the best stability, accuracy, and safety.
Standard with the ASM model, the electric winch allows touch-button control of the frame height for faster, more accurate resetting.
