“Cajamarca is my favorite town,” says mr. Guevara with a smile. “With its seven microclimates, once you get accustomed here, you can adapt anywhere.”
Mr. Guevara’s sawmill comes alive with the sound of the Wood-Mizer LT15 cutting through Pine. This versatile machine serves as the backbone of his operation, allowing him to transform logs into boards and blocks destined for pallet manufacturing.
The LT15 portable sawmill boasts an impressive cutting capacity, allowing it to effortlessly saw logs up to 71 cm in diameter into boards that can stretch up to 66 cm wide and 5.4 meters in length, that can be extended to any specific length with optional bed sections.
