Norra Timber - Sävar

World’s fastest band saw line SÄVAR SAWMILL SETS THE MARK HIGH In August 2017, the first logs were sawn on Norra Timber’s new line at its sawmill in Sävar, Sweden. The line was designed with the bold notion of being the fastest band saw line ever conceived. During the summer of 2018 the facility reached its full capacity with the installation of its third LogMaster HPS resaw.

The top speed that we have run in the new saws is 156 meters per minute (511 ft/min.) so far. We have no records of any band saw running faster than 150 m/min.
