Customer Testimonials

Those (Goldline Premium) blades are the best blades I’ve ever used. I am really impressed!!!! They are sharp right out of the box and they stay sharp longer than any other blade I’ve used (and I’ve tried just about all the other brand names).

Allan Porter -


The SkidMate works absolutely great and is more maneuverable than expected.

Ross Allen and Phillip Grant - Nova Scotia


The LumberMate has made me nothing but money … quality, quality lumber.

John Brush - Montana


The LumberMate 2000 is one of the simplest, easy to maintain pieces of equipment or “tool” that I have ever seen. You would be wasting your time, and probably more money, to even consider any other mill in this price range. Really, for the money, it is as near perfect a machine as I could imagine. I have nothing to gain by saying this – it is just my honest opinion.

Jerry Moore - Kentucky


I got 1 blade with my LumberMate from Norwood and it’s the best blade I’ve ever had. I bought a bunch from Wood-Mizer, they are good blades too but they dull faster and I can’t always count on them to cut smooth. I started with 15 Mizer blades and one Norwood. I use them all and then sharpen them and now I have 6 Mizer blades left and still have the 1 Norwood blade. The next box of blades I‘m buying is definitely from Norwood!

Jason Reay - Ontario


I LOVE MY MILL!

Pat Killian - New York


I used the LumberMate to cut all the timbers and sheathing for a timberframe. It worked like a charm. Good product!

Perry Munro -


That mill is just marvelous. It is just perfect.

Norman Misiak - MI


The quality of the materials on the LumberLite mill is superb.

Mike Kingston - WV


The Norwood trailer system is about the slickest thing I’ve seen. Works great. About 10 minutes to set up and moving.

Perry Teele - NH


I bought a Norwood mill. I am very pleased with it. You have an excellent product. This is my first mill. I taught myself to run it and it paid for itself on one job and I could sell it for a profit at any time.

Dave - Indiana


I got myself a Norwood LumberLite 24 this past summer and am totally pleased with it.

Cecil Postnikoff - BC


Our Norwood LumberMate has paid for itself two times already.

William & Durinda Grubbs - MI


No job is too big for the Norwood mill.

Vaughan Taft - NY


The Norwood mill cuts so smooth that one light pass with a 6” plane is all that is needed to finish the boards.

Vaughan Taft - NY


In a few months, my Norwood mill will be 10 years old and I can’t see where I would change anything.

Vaughan Taft - NY


My LumberMate has been working flawlessly since I first assembled it (some 5 years ago). I’m very satisfied with my investment.

Todd Bartlett - NH


Last August I purchased a mill from Norwood. Best thing since sliced bread!!!!! Started cutting lumber in September for my cottage. Built a 24x32 cottage with 17-foot high cathedral ceiling. The mill paid for itself by now.

Rick Montreuil - Ontario


The LumberMate 2000 is the best sawmill I have ever used.

Michael Bailey -


I cut old power poles with my LumberMate. I figure, over 4 years, I’ve pushed that sawmill a little over 9 miles … and it still runs great.

Randy Yarbrough - Florida


I am very happy with both the LumberMate itself and the way I have been treated by Norwood. Both have been first rate. It is nice to work with a company that produces and stands behind a good product.

John Conway - Ohio


I am a mechanic and repair sawmills for a living. From a mechanical point of view, the LumberMate is the best mill I have come across. It saws better quality lumber than any mill I have serviced.

Brian Lawrence - Minnesota


I cut about 2,000 board feet per day with my LumberMate. It paid for itself in 3 days.

Don Maas - Wisconsin


I owned one of your competitors’ sawmills, sold it and bought a Norwood. Dollar for dollar there is no comparison.

John Wiebe - British Colombia


I have cleared over 600 acres with my LumberMate Mark 3, just sold it for almost as much as I paid for it in 1997 and ordered the upgraded LumberMate 2000.

Joe Miller - Pennsylvania


The LumberMate produces the best quality lumber that I have seen anywhere.

Thomas Bryan - Louisiana


The competition does not hold a candle to the LumberMate. Excellent engineering!

Carman Gordon - Nova Scotia


The LumberMate is really unbelievable.

Joe Steiner - British Columbia


I am very pleased with my LumberMate. I have cut thousands of feet of lumber of all types, built three houses and cut for other people. It is a truly rugged, dependable mill, no trouble at all.

Paul Norris - North Carolina


Have not bought a stick of lumber since I purchased the sawmill, cut a walnut log larger than the mill was designed to handle and produced over $1500.00 worth of wood.

Douglas Nutt - Indiana


The best product in the world is only as good as its support people, Norwood people have been excellent.

Murray LaBrash - British Colombia


With the LumberMate, I now do not hesitate to tackle a lot of large logs in one day. I can trust the mill to produce a nice stack of accurately sized, flat boards by the end of the workday.

John Conway - Ohio


Boards come off the LumberMate beautiful.

Edmund Searle - Nova Scotia


I edge about 5,000 feet a day on my EdgeMate and could do more. It has plenty of power. The delivery was excellent and the assembly instructions were excellent.

Richard Greenwood - Prince Edward Island


The LumberMate produces the best quality lumber that I have seen anywhere.I have seen a good deal of lumber sawn on automatic saws, none of which can compare to the consistent size of the LumberMate.

Thomas Bryan - Louisiana


In the last 9 months, I have cut around 100,000 board feet of lumber of almost every species of wood, the LumberMate just works flawlessly day after day.

John Peters - British Columbia


The LumberMate is a pleasure to use. It sets up easily, cuts well and operates smoothly. I have owned two small mills before I bought this one. They were exhausting to operate. With the LumberMate, I do not hesitate to tackle lots of large logs every day.

John Conway - Ohio


The LumberMate is a really nice machine. I just turned 85 years old and can operate the machine by myself with no problem.

Boyd Young - Nebraska


The LumberMate does everything Norwood said it would do. It went together perfectly and arrived in excellent condition.

Scott Boydston - Hawaii


The LumberMate is a great mill. I just love it! The engineering is excellent and I just love its simplicity.

Carman Goodwin - Nova Scotia


I am very pleased with my LumberMate. This sawmill is a great investment!

Alabama - Alabama


I would rather use a Norwood than any other mill. I could not be more satisfied.

Mike Hutter - New York


The LumberMate is the best made mill in America.

Mike Kroll - Michigan


The LumberMate is fantastic! It is really something! I have built two houses with this mill.

George Carter - Virginia
