We at the � omas family have deep roots in the Maine tradition of cra� smanship and innovation.

Dale � omas began working with steel in1959 and for almost � ve decades gained extensive experience in steel fabrication and design.

In 1982, Dale � omas bought the steel fabrication business he worked for. With his four boys in mind Dale formed Dale A. � omas & Sons, Inc. � e company spent the next 15 years doing custom designed jobs of rugged steel farm equipment, as well as selling di� erent types of portable bandsaws. Jon, having been brought up around the shop since it started, joined the business full time in 1997. In 1997 we started manufacturing bandsawmills with all of the knowledge we had

collected over the years of selling mills. With Jon’s 20+ years of experience he purchased the family business ensuring it would continue producing quality equipment well into the future. Hopefully his son Jonathan or daughter Austyn will continue the family tradition.

� e company now produces a variety of bandsaws, which are reasonably priced as well as easy to operate, large capacity, portable and very durable. Since we started manufacturing sawmills in 1997 we have developed 4 di� erent models of sawmills and an Edger.
