Wide bands in euroland?

[Satamax]

Hi everybody. 

Well, the other day, I had a nasty problem. 

Backed without raising the head. And the blade caught in the wood. 

Result, a dead blade, and protections are a bit more chewed than previously. 

 



This is on a French CD4 saw. 

Called "la forezienne" to know the cost of replacement.  They are the main company in France, for stellite tipped wide band blade. Shock, horror. What I had done! A very unpleasant guy, replied to me, that they don't deal with small businesses. 

I tell you that if I can avoid them in the future. I will. 

But I am wondering now, what other options there is?

I know that there is some other businesses in Germany, Scandinavia, and the Balkans. 

Thought, I don't know any of these. 

Any eurolander over here, to give me leads? 

Thanks guys.

Check with Woomizer in France, they have a web page. I believe their RazorTIP blades are stellite also. Not sure on the widths available.

Thanks a lot Old Greenhorn. 

They have the right widths, but not the lengths. Mind you, i asked them if they would do custom blades.

I believe they should be able to help you out. They do custom lengths over here. They are good folks.
