Simonds’ entire Red Streak product line has sharp Ground Tooth edges. We achieve our ground tooth edge with two different technologies – PreSharp and Normac

PreSharp Grinding – Our custom made grinders use full flood coolant to maintain cutting edge hardness and achieve a razor sharp edge. The PreSharp process not only gives us a razor edge, but also squares the face of the tooth to the cut. This helps channel dust into the gullet rather than push out to the boards. It also strengthens the outer cutting point for longer blade life. PreSharp is used on all our 1″ wide saws and on 1-1/4″ & 1-1/2″ wide saws with 3/4″ and 7/8″ tooth spaces.

Full form tooth grinding – We use state of the art “full tooth form grinding” technology on all our saws with a 1″ Tooth Space and on ALL our 2″ wide hard back saws. Full tooth form grinding results in a very sharp cutting edge and extremely consistent tooth height. Consistent tooth height means each tooth does its “share” of the work. This is most critical on coarse pitch saws and high production 2″ wide saws. Our 2″ wide saws are also now manufactured using steel that is body hardened at the steel mill. This has helped us to dramatically improve the flatness of the saw body. We retained the critical tooth hardening and tempering process within our factory.

Available in welded loops, 250′ or 500′ bulk packs.

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, came about when customers told us our blades were very consistent and long lasting. They then told us, “But they run even better after I sharpen them”. When this customer comment was shared with our Cutting Engineers, they responded “Of course, that is because they have squared the face to the body of the blade. The square face balances cutting forces and minimizes saw dust spillage.” We created PreSharp to deliver that “off the sharpener performance, right out of the box”. Choose Simonds because we bring our century of wood cutting experience to each and every PreSharp blade.
