Simonds BF Style Bits and Shanks are a “Double Circle” design. This design disperses the cutting forces along a longer surface than “Number Style” bits. This means less shoulder damage to saws in difficult cutting conditions and longer saw life.
Style BF Blue Tip Bits
Simonds BF Style Blue Tip® Saw Bits can be used with either F Style or B Style saws. Style B and Style F bits and shanks are a “double circle” design. This design results broader bearing surface behind the bit providing extra support and helping prevent shoulder breakage.
Regular, Long and Edger types can be used with either Regular Style or Super Style shanks. Standall Type bits have a built in Chip Breaker and should not be used with Super Style Shanks.
Blue Tip® bits have been the quality standard for generations of sawyers. Blue Tip bits are hot forged from carbon steel to hold a sharp edge, yet can be radially touched up or sharpened with a hand file or grinder. The Blue Tip, a result of a special tempering, is a mark of extra toughness.
Style BF Si-Chrome® Bits
Simonds BF Style Si-Chrome® Saw Bits can be used with either F Style or B Style saws. Style B and Style F bits and shanks are a “double circle” design. This design results broader bearing surface behind the bit providing extra support and helping prevent shoulder breakage.
Regular, Long and Edger types can be used with either Regular Style or Super Style shanks. Standall Type bits have a built in Chip Breaker and should not be used with Super Style Shanks.
Si-Chrome® bits are Blue Tip® bits are hot forged from carbon steel with a special hard chrome plating on the cutting edge. This chrome coating increases hardness and edge holding ability and reduces friction while providing greater wear resistance. Si-Chrome bits should be sharpened with grinding wheels and the chrome surface is not suitable for hand filing.
Style BF Dominator® Carbide Tipped Bits
Style BF Dominator® Carbide Tipped Bits can be used with either F Style or B Style saws. Style B and Style F bits and shanks are a “double circle” design. This design results broader bearing surface behind the bit providing extra support and helping prevent shoulder breakage.
Dominator Carbide Tipped bits are a Standall Type bit. They have a built in Chip Breaker and should not be used with Super Style Shanks.
Carbide represents the latest innovation for Saw Bits. Dominator bits have a tough hot Forged carbon steel bit body with a proprietary “wrap around” carbide tip. Dominator bits have a special grade of carbide that balances superior edge holding ability what resistance to chipping.
