“I have really enjoyed my HD36v2. I would recommend starting with pine or another inexpensive wood to practice and learn on. The machine does everything it says it will. As a new sawyer, I had a learning curve on adjustments, leveling (buy a 6-foot level), and proper set up. But once the machine is "dialed in" it works flawlessly. I wish i had a solution for used blades.”
“I enjoy using Norwood Sawmills products and appreciate their customer service professionals. Everyone from sales to service has been personally invested in our satisfaction with our order delivery and the quality of the items we received.”
“These Machines are well worth the price. I use mine all the time. It has paid for itself 5 times over. If your debating do not debate anymore just pull the trigger. Go at least 30 becsue once you get going you will want to do bigger logs.”
“Have the ml 26 and does everything I need ..
Norwood customer service is great and once they know your model getting parts or add on s is quick and easy ..”
“We have had nothing but positive experiences with our new mill and our contact with the support people at Norwood! We bought the mill in 2021 as a supplement to our small scale forestry business and it has become a very important part of our business. We have been able to capture a bit of a niche market for very high quality wood due to some of the exceptional timber we have and of the high quality cuts we get from our mill. Nothing but positives here to Norwood and to Kelly and Wolf that man their sites and give technical support! Seven Gulches Forest Products!”
“Had an issue with my mill and Richard Wolfrath on Facebook reached out and he put me in touch with Josh at customer service. Together they resolved the issue and checked in a month later to make certain that I was happy.”
“I am a missionary in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. I've had a Norwood mill for about 15 years. I cut the timber and saw it into needed lumber to help people who need lumber and can't afford it. We even furnish lumber to build caskets when needed. Don't know what I would do without my mill.”
“I've owned the sawmill since 2000 and the only problem I've had with it was a broken throttle cable. I'm a recreational sawyer. Maybe 20 logs a year. The lumber that I cut, I build projects like tables, chairs, birdhouses, lawn ornaments, etc. for the local fireman's auctions.”
“I have owned my Norwood MN26 since 2014 but set it up in 2020. Besides the joy of milling my own lumber to build a greenhouse, add 2 additions to a small barn, build a 12x24 tractor garage/workshop, I made an incredible discovery while using the mill. Having worked just shy of 30 yrs as a paramedic, and having been diagnosed with complex PTSD, I discovered that milling was excellent therapy. I was able to custom mill lumber to build all kinds of crafts and the road to recovery has been remarkable while making man glitter. The mill is very easy to use. The engine starts first pull even in winter. I ordered an extra bunk and dog to mill shorter logs that I find that others are discarding, and am making nice cutting boards from spalted hardwoods.”
“Wonderful machine I love it.... Water valve sucks I replaced it with a metal one. Also for the love of the universe can we get a fuel gauge for this thing... Please 🙏
Once again great Machine”
“Very pleased with HD36 v2. My first experience sawing but have been woodworking all my life. I am especially pleased with the customer service I have received along the way. So far they are very helpful and stand behind products and services. Thanks to all of you.”
“I couldn't be happier with my LM30, Norwood, and my experience purchasing my mill. Annetta my sales rep, thank you for the time you spent and making sure I got everything,(and then some) that I needed. Shipping was great everything was packed and shipped properly. To you reading this, you won't go wrong with a Norwood mill, or having the comfort of being taken care if these guys. Excellent company to deal with and would recommend to anyone! Thank you Norwood for supporting your Veterans, the discount helped tremendously! Semper Fi!”
“Norwood is a fantastic company with an excellent product. I have not ever regretted getting my HD-36 and have paid for the mill many times over in the short time I have owned it. I upgraded to hydraulics 18 months ago and have loved it; makes log handling so much easier. If you are in the market for a mill, you won’t go wrong with a Norwood sawmill!”
Thank you for your solid review. We're glad to hear the HD36 and hydraulic upgrade are working well for you. Your success is a reflection of our success, and we're proud to have played a part in your achievements. Happy milling!

“I’ve had my HD36V2 for about three years and have sawn over 100 logs. Mostly oak and maple along with several spruce logs. Had an issue with the guide hitting the spring retainer plate but received an updated spacer and now no issue sawing full width boards. Assembly of machine was fairly easy. Opted out of the trailer package and added an extra 6 feet of bed .
We’ve mad a couple chicken coops, new deck and several live edge table tops. Love not having to drive for hours trying to find lumber for a project when I can just make what I need when I need it. Service has been good and price was reasonable. Ordered a few extra parts and delivery was great. Delivered to my door in less than a week.
Only regret is I should have gotten it 5 years sooner. Absolutely love it!!”
