Welcome to Saw Designer!
My name is Wayne Holmwood and I am the author of the Saw Designer
software series available on this website. In 1998 I left a position with
a saw manufacturer to pursue a career in computer programming. During my 12
years with this company, I was involved in most aspects of circular saw
production. The last position held was CAD (Computer Aided Drafting)
draftsman, laser programmer - operator. Upon leaving I was looking for a challenging
project, and as a CAD draftsman I thought there should be an easier way to
design a saw. Designing a saw using a generic CAD program could take anywhere
from 20 minutes to an hour. It was that idea which inspired me to try and
design this program. The first version of Saw Designer was released in the fall
of 1999. Bandsaw Designer became available in the spring of 2000. Since its first
release, Saw Designer has continued to evolve with several upgrades being released.
The evolution of this software has not reached its end with future upgrades
being considered. For the past 11 years, I have been employeed as a systems analyst
and computer programmer for a company in the aviation industry. I've been involved
in developing new systems, providing integration with existing systems and
streamlining processes eliminating duplication. My duties also include overseeing
laser operations, which I helped acquire and setup. Providing training and continued
assistance has helped to keep fresh the ideals of automation, which first inspired me
to create Saw Designer.
