Title: Bandsaw blade info
Post by: kennym on March 29, 2017, 09:00:00 PM

I got an email from Mike Pyeatt at Rosewood telling me about a blade that was like the Woodslicer but at better price. He said I could tell you guys about it. My 131.5" blade was 19.xx each.

Here is what he said...

Most buy them from Highland woodworking that I have spoken with. I did
try some recently, and the woodslicer blade APPEARS to be the exact same
blade that we run on a daily basis made by Kasco in St Louis.  Not too
many sell this blade and all I have found sell it under a different name, but the best price I have found is from spectrumsupply.com and
they call the blade the kerfmaster.  I found the performance and
longevity to be exactly the same,  same backer, tooth spacing, hook and
kerf. Kerfmasters from spectrum supply are half price of the woodslicer.


Mike is a class act!    :thumbsup:

There great blades, Mike told me about them on a trip to see him and get some material. The price is great and I can buy about 15 of them compared to one of my carbide tri- master blades very thin kerf so very little waste.
