“Wood” – is a word that provokes many ideas such, as a small cottage house made from pine logs, a beautiful set of oak furniture for the dining room, or a perfectly flat larch deck hidden in the backyard. Millions of people in the world can live better thanks to this friendly and sustainable material. It takes a whole lot of passion, hard work, and a dream to craft all those beautiful wood products. Oh, and let’s not forget about proper tools to finish the work “From Forest to Final Form” - The Woodworking machines from Wood-Mizer.
It’s been more than 30 years since Wood-Mizer started its European operations in Koło, Poland, offering to the wood-processing industry a wide range of premium quality machinery. The company has grown a lot over the years, expanding across global markets, investing in new production facilities, and helping thousands of customers to fulfill their goals of working with wood. It’s their unique products that helped to build the Wood-Mizer Family, a wonderful team of workers, professionals, and customers who share one passion – the passion for wood.

Wood-Mizer woodworking products have been manufactured in the local factory in Koło since early 2020. The production site has a global reputation for making top-quality sawmills and wood processing machines. No wonder that soon after purchasing the intellectual property for woodworking products from the Swedish manufacturer Moretens in 2017, it was decided to use this valuable experience and begin the production of these products in the Polish Wood-Mizer factory.
All manufacturing processes are supervised by highly qualified and experienced workers. Wood-Mizer has gathered much expertise during 30 years of the company’s work, and now they are confident in applying this vast knowledge to manufacturing woodworking products. Technical designers constantly improve the technology used in them, production engineers supervise all activities on the production floor, and every machine is checked in detail at the final inspection.
The basic engineering design was to create a very functional product in a compact size, using the best quality materials possible. Wood-Mizer moulders and planers share these characteristics:
- A multi-cutter head (top, bottom, right, left) allows getting a desired shape of the board after only one pass through the machine.
- Individually engaged electrical motors for each cutter head, helping to decrease power consumption and reduce noise.
- Each cutter head has easily replaceable knives.
- Solid feed table made of stainless steel, ensuring the precision of processing and comfort of work.
- Cast iron planing table is highly durable and resistant to deformation, abrasion, and tension.
- For thickness, the adjustment is made by a quick-access hand crank.
- All control functions are accessible from a convenient operator unit.
- Sawdust and woodchips generated during the cutting process are directed to the exhaust ports, so the workshop areas remain clean.
- The steel body of the machine protects inside electrical motors (separate for each cutter head), feed rollers, and the adjustment mechanism.
- The machine is lightweight and compact, so you can move it around your workshop without much effort.
All Woodworking Products are accompanied by a wide variety of cutting accessories – Wood-Mizer TOOLS, made from top quality European steel and carbide. Among them, you can find HSS cutting knives, carbide-tipped HM cutting knives, double-sided Tri-Metal HSS cutting knives, profile HSS knives, dedicated cutter heads with replaceable HM profile knives, kits of HM brazed cutters with carbide tips, 2/3/4-knife cutter heads, and special customer orders, Wood-Mizer can design custom profile knives or side cutter heads.
