Why buy a Hud-Son Portable Sawmill?
 Top ten reasons why a Hud-son is the right choice -

1. DESIGN - Hud-Son uses a 4-Post head design. This allows for more head stability & reduces the chance for “sag” or “uneven” cuts. With an inner H-frame bearing support system, this applies less stress on the bearings & drive shafts. The H-frame uses no “camber” in the wheels for tracking. Camber causes unnecessary stress which leads to early bearing & shaft fatigue (sEE pHOTO).

2. SERVICE - WHEN NEEDED, IT IS SIMPLE. EASY ACCESS TO ALL THE BEARINGS, SHAFTS AND BELTS MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE SIMPLE. BLADE CHANGES ARE EASY, NO REALIGNING OR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE.

3. BLADE GUIDES - HUD-SON USES THEIR VERY OWN GUIDES. WITH SUPPORT ON THE TOP, BOTTOM AND BACK OF THE BLADE, WHERE CAN IT GO? OUR GUIDES LIMIT THE CHANCE OF BLADE WANDER. THE LOWER SUPPORT HOLDS THE BLADE UP AND DECREASES THE CHANCE OF "DIVING", WHILE MOST COMPANIES USE ONLY TOP SUPPORT. YES, WE DO SELL OUR GUIDES SEPARATELY.

4. VALUE - COMPARE, THERE IS NO OTHER MILL ON THE MARKET THAT HAS STANDARD FEATURES FOR THE PRICE OF A HUD-SON. NO ONE.

5. PAINT - WE CARE THAT YOU ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH YOUR RECENT PURCHASE. WE POWDER COAT ALL OUR SAWMILLS, POWDER COATING IS DURABLE JUST LIKE YOUR HUD-SON! EACH PART IS CAREFULLY PREPARED AND COATED TO KEEP YOUR NEWEST INVESTMENT LOOKING LIKE IT, FOR YEARS TO COME.

6. QUALITY ASSURED - EVERY SINGLE UNIT PASSES A VIGOROUS 28 POINT INSPECTION. EACH SAWMILL IS TESTED WITH WOOD, NOT JUST VISUALLY LOOKED AT. IT IS NOT EASY TO EARN THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE HUD-SON LABEL.

7. AVAILABILITY - HUD-SON SAWMILLS ARE ALL MANUFACTURED AT OUR FACILITY IN BARNEVELD, NY. OUR SAWMILLS ARE AVAILABLE AT OVER 40 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE U.S., CANADA AND EUROPE. THIS BRINGS SERVICE AND AVAILABILITY CLOSER TO YOU.

8. WARRANTY - ALL OUR MILLS, SMALL TO LARGE HAVE 2 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTIES. WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS. WE DO NOT HIDE BEHIND THE SMALL PRINT.

9. DRIVE LINE - ALL OUR BANDWHEELS FROM 16" - 30" IN SIZE HAVE TIGHT FITTING LATHE CUT PYRATHANE BELTING. THIS COMPLETES THE MATCH AND BALANCE WITH THE WHEEL, BELT, BEARINGS AND SHAFTS. THIS REMOVES THE VIBRATION MILLS WITH "LOOSE BELTS" HAVE AND IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF YOUR CUT.

10. PORTABILITY - ALL HUD-SON MILLS ARE PORTABLE, SOME WITH A 4 WHEELER OR GOLF CART, SOME WITH A PICK UP TRUCK, SOME EVEN TWO GUYS CAN CARRY.
HUD-SON HAS THE ONLY "MILL TO GO" ON THE MARKET. HUD-SON DESIGNS THEIR MILLS WITH YOU THE CUSTOMER IN MIND. WE KNOW THAT YOUR MILL NEEDS TO GO TO CAMP, HOME OR EVEN TO WORK WITH YOU. HUD-SON MILLS WILL MAKE THE TRIP.
