The contractor’s sawmill – a fixed site or portable sawmill for all conditions.
The Winch Production Frame (WPF) was designed as a productive yet affordable swingblade portable sawmill. Cutting high quality, extremely accurate timber with portable or fixed-site milling.
An adaptation of the original Peterson portable sawmill, the WPF has upgrades for extra wide logs to extra long logs, moving from log to log or milling a stockpile of logs, and even for wide slabbing or tapered weatherboards.
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.
“The WPF is the only swingblade sawmill in the world manufactured using high quality, hand polished stainless steel and aluminium, providing a virtually rust-free sawmill. Using stronger, lighter materials also means the mills are robust in performance, and substantially increases their portability.”

Mill dimensional timber up to 11 1/2″ x 24 1/2″ (295mm x 630mm) by Double Cutting—joining two horizontal cuts to obtain a wider board using both sides of the blade.
Whether utilising a Clip-on Chainsaw Slabber or milling the entire log for dimensional timber or beams, you can maximise every inch and quarter saw all day long without turning the log.
Lower all four corners of the mill equally from one position at the operator's end, saving time and improving accuracy. Can be upgraded to electric on the WPF.
Manufactured using high quality, hand-polished stainless steel and aluminium, providing a virtually rust-free sawmill that is robust in performance and built for long-term durability.
The box-type frame is proven to be the most rigid, eliminating vertical or horizontal sway. You can extend your tracks at any time to increase production.
You have the option to upgrade your WPF to a Giant Frame, allowing you to cut even larger diameter logs up to 6.5ft (2m) or more!
