Wood-Mizer has proven to be the number one choice for sawmillers and woodworkers across the globe.
The Wood-Mizer WM5500 is a state-of-the-art industrial sawmill, engineered as the advanced successor to the renowned WB2000. Designed for maximum productivity and versatility, the WM5500 combines increased cutting capacity, flexible blade options, and cutting-edge technology to meet the demands of modern sawmilling operations.
The WM5500 can process logs up to 40" in diameter and is compatible with wide blades up to 5", including Stellite-tipped options for superior cutting speed and finish. The sawhead supports 35 1/2" cutting width and height, with bed length configurations from 14' 9" up to 40' to suit a variety of log sizes.
Key upgrades include a high-speed servo-driven head positioning system that halves the sawhead up/down movement time to just 5 seconds. A robust triple-row chain provides extra stability for moving the sawhead, while the new compressed-air blade lubrication system ensures consistent performance, especially for wider blades. The 60HP motor provides additional power ideal for high-efficiency Stellite blades.
The WM5500 introduces customizable blade width options. Customers select their preferred blade width during ordering, which determines the configuration of blade wheels, guides, and wheel alignment. The advanced blade tensioning system can also be equipped with an electric pump for easier control from the operator cabin.
The redesigned operator cabin enhances ergonomics and functionality with an intuitive control interface, slanted monitors, joysticks, and an optional air-conditioning unit. Hydraulic operations have also been improved—faster for log loading, yet easily slowed for precision handling—thanks to a new bypass-based oil flow system.
The debarker and board removal system is now pneumatically controlled, offering smoother operation and easier maintenance. With an air gun included for cleaning the sawhead area, every detail has been considered to optimize performance and operator comfort.
From its powerful motor and wider blades to its upgraded electronics and control systems, the WM5500 delivers everything industrial sawyers need to boost efficiency, accuracy, and output.
