A sawmill is a facility where logs are processed into lumber and other wood products. The primary function of a sawmill is to cut down trees and convert them into usable wood by sawing the logs into planks, beams, and other shapes. This process often involves various machines, including saws and planers, to ensure the wood is cut accurately and efficiently. Sawmills can vary in size, from small, family-owned operations to large industrial plants. They play a crucial role in the timber industry, providing essential materials for construction, furniture making, and other applications. The wood produced can be used in various products, including furniture, paper, and construction materials.
