Saws Benched and Ready for Tipping

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!

For those mills with their own tipping capability, they can purchase their saws from Simonds in a few different levels of semi finished state. Simonds sells saws Benched & Gummed (gullets ground) or benched only. The level of completion chosen b​y mills is dependent on the level of finishing work they elect to perform themselves.
