Junior
Peterson (jp)

The affordable portable sawmill — packed with features, production milling capability, and unbeatable versatility.

Junior Peterson (JP)

The JP (Junior Peterson) is the perfect solution for part-time sawyers looking for an affordable portable sawmill that doesn’t compromise on production milling capability.

It is designed specifically for customers wanting to cut their own timber for home, farm, or homestead projects. Competitively priced and solidly built, the JP is a simplified version of our heavy-duty WPF framework. It utilises the same ‘Lo/Lo’ track sections positioned parallel to each other at ground level, making it incredibly stable yet portable enough to transport on the back of a pick-up or trailer.

“Unlike the rest of the Peterson range which features aluminium and stainless steel, the Junior Peterson utilises a robust steel frame finished with a durable zinc and powder coating. This economical manufacturing approach results in a solid piece of equipment at a significantly lower price point without sacrificing the renowned Peterson cut quality.”
