If you own a band sawmill — factory-built or homemade — you can easily upgrade it with a Mikron Computer Setworks. This tool is designed to help you achieve more with the sawmill you already have, without needing any complicated modifications.
A computer setworks automates the head movement of your sawmill, giving you perfect control, consistent accuracy, and faster operation. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to modernize your sawmill and get better results with less effort.
Works with Any Band Sawmill
No matter what kind of sawmill you have — Wood-Mizer, Woodland Mills, TimberKing, Hud-Son, Timberwolf, or a custom-built model — the Mikron Computer Setworks can be installed on it. Even if your sawmill is homemade or no longer in production, it can still be upgraded and brought to a new level of precision and comfort.
The installation process shown in the video is already simple — and since then, we’ve made it even easier. Now, there’s no need to open the enclosure: everything is prewired, ready to connect, and protected inside an IP67-rated housing.
Real Examples
Many sawmill owners have already upgraded their machines — from small home-built mills to large professional setups.
One example is a homemade bandmill built by Mike Festiva, where the Mikron setworks was installed successfully and worked perfectly.
Another example is the Timberwolf sawmill, which is no longer in production, yet it was upgraded with a Mikron SW-250 Computer Setworks — showing that even older or discontinued mills can easily be modernized.
Mike Festiva, documented his experience integrating our SW-350-PRO computer setworks on his homemade sawmill. His video not only offers a step-by-step guide but also demonstrates the adaptability of our special technology.
Why Upgrade
A computer setworks is more than just an accessory — it’s a powerful tool that helps you get better, faster, and more consistent results from the sawmill you already own.
Here’s what you gain when you upgrade:
✅ Perfect accuracy – every board is the exact thickness you set.
✅ Faster work – set your target, press a button, and cut with confidence.
✅ Less waste – consistent cuts mean less material lost and fewer corrections later.
✅ Ease of use – simple, intuitive controls that make sawing more enjoyable.
✅ Higher resale value – a sawmill with digital automation is worth more and easier to sell.
Once you experience the precision of a computer setworks, it’s hard to imagine running a mill without one.
Conclusion
Installing a Mikron Computer Setworks is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your sawmill. It’s quick, affordable, and compatible with any band sawmill — new, old, or homemade.
Do it once, and your sawmill will feel like a completely new machine. Get the most out of every cut — easily, accurately, and reliably.
