Each blade was set at a fixed width meaning each log was cut identically, regardless of flaws. The use in Norway started in the 1500&#8217;s and lumber was an important export article for Norway as many European countries lacked the wood needed for construction. \u00a0Many Norwegian towns grew up around waterfalls that could be used for powering sawmills. One such town is H\u00f8nefoss in Buskerud county. Around 1860 sawmills began to adopt the more efficient circular saw.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reconstructed water powered saw mill with vertical
