Item #: Precision Tooth Shape Match

Simonds Engineers and Saw Makers take great pride in their ability precisely match our customers individualized tooth shapes

No two mills are the same. In an age of “cookie cutter” and interchangeable parts, each Sawmill still requires a custom made saw blade to make the most of its resources and opportunities. We recognize that the combination of species sawn, feed speeds, equipment used and output required dictate a custom matched tooth shape for your mill.

Our Engineers take great pride in custom matching the tooth shape for your mill with a good rubbing. We digitize that shape and use CNC machinery to produce that tooth shape with a high degree of repeatability.

We can also work with digital codes from Armstrong Vari Sharp machines.
But if you are going to rely on a tooth rubbing, please read our recommended procedure to best replicate YOUR tooth shape in a manner we can use to deliver you the customer engineered saws your mill requires.

Or better yet, download a complimentary copy of our Armstrong Vari Design software and start designing and optimizing your own custom tooth shapes!

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.
