We build your slivertooth wide bands in any size needed, right up to 60′ long for the last remaining 9′ and 10′ mills. We routinely make saws up to 16″ wide in our Portland, Oregon plant and up to 14″ in our Camden, Alabama plant. These headrig bands are fitted to precisely your tooth profile and benched to your requirements using our Wide Band Data Collector tool. This document is specific to your mill and details what you are looking for when your saws arrive, the correct tooth shape, the specs that you want for back, tension, and tires.

Simonds wide bands are made to meet the requirements of the finest, most productive sawmills in the world. We make wide bands in plants in Portland, Oregon and Camden , Alabama to serve customers throughout North America. We have distribution centers in in Langley (Vancouver), British Columbia and in Granby, Quebec to service Canadian customers and in Louisville, Kentucky to serve customers in the mid-West and Northeast.

Our plant in Portland is also the home of our Armstrong Mfg. equipment division. This puts our machinery folks working on the same plant floor as the plant that uses the equipment they build. This is a powerful and unique advantage to both the Simonds wide band craftsmen and to the Armstrong machinery crew, by working shoulder-to-shoulder these folks get a great understanding of each others requirements.

Why Simonds?

Simonds was an early pioneer in the narrow kerf bandsaw blade industry. And, this business is still core to Simonds today. We brought some early innovations to the market, such as the first 1-1/4″ and 2″ wide hard back bandsaw products. We developed innovative packaging designs for our Welding Distributors, by working together to minimize logistics costs.

A recent development, PreSharp, sets a new standard of performance by squaring the face to the cut to perform right out of the factory. Choose Simonds because we bring our century of wood cutting experience to each and every Red Streak blade.
