The Northfield line of woodworking machinery was established in Northfield, Minnesota, in 1920. Steady growth occurred through the years as the Northfield line became the leader of intermediate and heavy duty woodworking machinery. The Northfield line was the first to adapt hydraulics to woodworking machinery.
The Northfield line of woodworking machinery is currently owned and operated by Northfield Machinery Builders Inc., a diversified manufacturer of custom machinery.
Northfield woodworking machinery is made available from distributors throughout North America and other world markets.
