Indianapolis, IN- At a time when the world's economy is in a downturn and some companies are cutting back, Wood-Mizer is pushing
forward with new equipment and services to give customers more ways to make money and save money. The latest updates from Wood-
Mizer include: the Pro-Series blade sharpener, an optional 10HP engine for the LT10 sawmill, the Simple Set Setworks Control, and a Live
Online-Chat. These new products and services are intended to give Wood-Mizer customers extra help during tough economic times. 
Pro-Series Sharpener
Wood-Mizer Blades Department introduces
the ProSeries CBN Sharpener as a solution for
keeping blades sharp while reducing the
cost of sending blades out for service. The
industrial-grade ProSeries is designed for
high-production sawmill operations
demanding frequent blade restoration.
Upgraded from the company's
ShopSeries, the ProSeries Sharpener
is designed to run with fewer manual
adjustments to free the operator's time.
Featuring a computer interface, the ProSeries
Sharpener allows the operator to sharpen
blades automatically, saving setup and run
time. For more information: 800.525.8100.

For Wood-Mizer LT40
and LT40HD sawmills, the
Simple Set unit allows quick
and accurate blade-height
control. This new setworks
option includes two stored
presets and easily adjusts to
saw any thickness of wood. The
Simple Set makes adjusting
blade height fast and easy and

introductory price. For more
