sawmillers

Wood-cutting mill workers

Sawmillers are people who operate or work in sawmills—facilities where logs are cut into lumber.

The term typically refers to skilled workers who manage the machinery that processes raw timber: The sawmillers worked through the night to meet the order.

In some regions, sawmiller specifically means the owner or operator of a sawmill business.
