What Are Wood-Mizer Sawmill Blades- Crafted For Precision And Performance -   

Sawmill users in more than 100 countries depend on Wood-Mizer’s wide range of blades to cut their timber. For many species of logs, specialized blades are needed for the best cutting performance. Wood-Mizer’s blade testing teams work across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas to develop and improve our selection of blade brands and profiles to meet the most difficult sawmilling challenges. Whatever wood you are cutting, Wood-Mizer has a blade to meet your needs.SilverTIP sawmill blades are made of carbon steel and are ideal for economical sawing, primary and secondary breakdown, as well as for high volume sawmills and resaws. Carbon is the most common steel used in narrow band sawing and can be resharpened with a CBN grinding wheel, but typically not as often as a blade made with harder high-alloy steel like DoubleHARD sawmill blades. 

Most common and affordable carbon steel material 
• Resharpen with CBN grinding wheel 

DoubleHard High-Alloy Steel Sawmill Blades 

DoubleHARD sawmill blades are made of high-alloy steel and are durable all-purpose blades for sawing softwoods, hardwoods, knotty woods, and frozen woods. With the combination of harder high-alloy steel and induction hardened teeth, DoubleHARD sawmill blades deliver twice the toughness and twice the sharp life compared to standard carbon steel blades and can be resharpened several times with a CBN grinding wheel. DoubleHARD sawmill blades are tough, durable, and won’t chip or wear down prematurely which is why they are Wood-Mizer’s most popular sawmill blade material. 

• All-purpose sawing of softwoods, hardwoods, knotty woods, and frozen woods
• Durable sawmill blade with multiple resharpenings using CBN grinding wheel  

BiMetal Two-Piece Steel Sawmill Blades 

BiMETAL sawmill blades are made of a two-piece steel with high-alloy steel for the body and high-speed steel (HSS) for the tooth tip. To make BiMETAL sawmill blades, the wire-welded, hardened HSS tooth tip is merged with the body by laser welding and shaped to the right profile. These industrial sawmill blades are commonly used for primary breakdown sawing in production sawmilling operations. BiMETAL sawmill blades hold a sharpened edge up to two times longer than carbon steel blades and can be resharpened multiple times with a CBN grinding wheel.

Two-piece high-alloy steel body with high-speed steel (HSS) tooth tip
• Up to double the sharp life compared to carbon steel sawmill blades
• Durable sawmill blade with multiple resharpening using CBN grinding wheel 

RazorTip Carbide Steel Sawmill Blades

RazorTip Carbide sawmill blades are made from a very hard triple chip tooth configuration with an alternating carbide-tipped raker tooth that can withstand the hardest of hardwoods and provide a very smooth finish. A diamond grinding wheel is required for sharpening due to the extreme hardness of the carbide material. RazorTip Carbide sawmill blades are tough and stay sharper longer in the most difficult sawing conditions such as tropical hardwoods, reclaimed beams, kiln dried lumber, engineered wood, and more abrasive materials.

Very hard triple chip tooth configuration with a carbide-tipped raker tooth
• Harder teeth than high-alloy steel sawmill blades and up to triple the sharp life compared to carbon steel sawmill blades
• Durable sawmill blade with multiple resharpenings using diamond grinding wheel
