Kasco

My Kasco woodmax blade's got here today

  be Dang care full when you open them up. Will try one in the morning

[petefrom bearswamp]

I tried 2 and liked them, but I am a WM guy mainly so buy from them.
Opening from this coil is not a problem but wear good gloves

[drobertson]

nice box like most of all of them,  one at a time of course, inside one first, leave the rest as they are till needed, then proceed, I have a few new ones too,  can hardly wait til the morning,   not counting all the bark and crap around the mill, it needs to go ;D

I started using Kasco bands and think they are as good as WM and Cooks. I also like how they are packaged in the pic and think they are safer that way, rather than coiled.
Just my opinion.

Hey..............how come mine have never had a "C" clamp included.......... :D :D :D

So far the ones I used on oak have done a nice job. 7 drg blades leave rough cuts on pine, but not oak.

Keep the blades you are not using inside the box with the paper. That will keep them from rusting up any.

The thing I didn't like was the steel ring hold them that why the reason for the c clamp

Don't use the C-clamp and remove the D-ring!   

Turn the blades over, teeth down and in the small loop, take the inside one (which is the outside one in the big loop) and lift the small loop out of the D-ring, take hold of the small loop with both hands, one on each side (gloves on) and back up a couple of steps and the first blade will be removed from the package.

     X2.  If you try to remove more than one at a time, bad things will happen to you!

[deadfall]

I don't even want to imagine a full package without that D-ring in place.  We don't want the ATF learning about bandsaw bombs going off. 

[goose63]

The Lenox come like that but with out the D ring I hang them up with the teeth facing the wall cut the 4 wires. I did the same with these but with zip tie's worked out good 

[Chuck White]

The best advice is to take them out one at a time!

Be careful!

[Magicman]

Chuck, I would say that your best advice is the only advice......that is unless you want a serious possibility of bleeding.   

[dgdrls]

Chuck is a master at handling those devils.

after I lost control of two bands at once with my LT10
I decided 5 teeth in a single package was sufficient for me ;)


 

Goose how do they saw??

I leave them with the teeth up, wear gloves and have never had a problem.
New ones come from WM teeth down but resharp sends them teeth up.

[highleadtimber16]

I've found the Kasco blades last longer than the WM, for me. They're also less expensive than the WM blades, and Kasco ships for free!

[goose63]

Dan thy cut DanG good like a knife through butter and smooth
highleadtimber16 how did you get free shipping ? thy charged me shipping

[xlogger]

You have to order 3 boxes at a time to get free shipping.
