Summary

In May 2022, Beaver Island residents discussed the availability and possible purchase of small Wood-Mizer sawmills, including a planned LT15 order and a low-hours LT40 reportedly available for sale.

Evidence limits

This is a forum equipment discussion. It suggests local interest and possible capacity for small-scale milling, but does not establish a commercial sawmill, production volume, completed purchase, or island-wide lumber supply.

Sources

  1. A resident considering a small Wood-Mizer purchase asked whether a sawmill was already available on the island. Another said he planned to order an LT15, while a third offered a low-hours LT40 for possible sale. The thread documents local equipment interest and at least one reported machine, not commercial production, ownership transfer, or a complete inventory.
