Understanding Computer Setworks: Today’s Customers Expect Precision — Your Sawmill Should Too

If you’re running a band sawmill and still relying on old-school manual adjustments, it’s time for a friendly wake-up call.

Most sawmill manufacturers offer them because customers now expect precision, efficiency, less waste, and higher productivity.

And with Mikron computer setworks upgrading your existing sawmill is surprisingly simple — it’s something anyone can do with a few basic connections.

What Is a Computer Setworks for Band Sawmill?

In plain speak: it’s a smart controller that positions your saw head or carriage with razor-sharp accuracy.

No more guessing. No more “almost there, will hope it is accurate”. No more mental math.

With setworks you can cut board-by-board from the top of the log, or rotate the log 180° and easily create a cutting list (cutting pattern) from the sawtable up. That means the final board resting on the table ends up with the correct thickness.

Plus, you get multiple functions and modes designed to help you focus on the most valuable (and honestly, the most enjoyable) part of the job - cutting wood. Not calculating positions, re-measuring, re-cutting boards that turned out too thick, or ending up with a pile of boards that came out too thin — all while wasting time, energy, and resources like fuel, electricity, blades, and motor hours. With Mikron computer setworks, you get:

• Much less waste (nowadays, not optimizing your process is practically a small crime)

• Higher lumber yield

• Smoother, more enjoyable work

• Accurate positioning — no more trying to “catch” the exact height manually
  

What Makes the Mikron computer setworks special?

1. Reliability Above Everything Else

We use only high-quality industrial-grade components, because we know exactly what sawmill equipment goes through — vibration, dust, cold, heat, etc.

The control panel keypad is built using a patented technology rated for 5 million presses (while regular membrane keypads usually last around 1 million).

Every component is selected for long-term durability in real sawmill conditions.

2. User-Friendly — As Simple as Using a Calculator

If you can type numbers, you can use Mikron.

The system always takes kerf into account automatically and positions the saw head with consistent precision.

Creating cutting lists or patterns? Easy.

Need special custom sizes for a picky customer? Just as easy as standard ones. The system adapts instantly so you don’t have to.
