I ordered 20 blades from Jerrys Resharp a couple of weeks ago. Box was on my porch in 3 days. Ripper 37s. They also keep a large stock of woodmizer band stock. Told me they try to keep 15,000 feet of turbo 7 on hand. Send me a message if you want my salesmans number.

Thanks The blades are coming. I have a bunch to sharpen. This way I will use-- go through them that been setting around. ;D
And member tax time is coming. I will fill up on sawmill parts too.
All before the end of the year.

Hows that cool hot rod of yours doing these days??

I forget who sells the Kasco blades on the forum but he told me 4-5 weeks at least and I got them the following week... Worth a shot.

That's Cuttingedge. I was really busy all last winter so I just kept buying blades vs. sharpen and set mine, so I have a nice stash now😊

Ordered a box of Turbo 7s yesterday. I was told look for them sometime in November. So 4-6 weeks.
Anyone know who long ReSharp Atlanta is taking to turn a box around. I sent out a box yesterday to them.

Peter,
I like the block work.
Nice job.
I been thinking about my Dad lately and having the desire to do some brick or block work.

barbender · October 08, 2021, 02:17:45 PM

Block is becoming a lost art!

TimW · October 08, 2021, 10:30:04 PM

Cook's Saw lead time on blades now is 3-4 business days. It took less than a week and I had mine. I love them! 8)

Their days must be a week long ;) ... that's got to be a pretty hectic day.

That looks very similar to the lift we installed in my son's garage a couple of years ago.

I ordered a new box of WM 4* DH yesterday afternoon from WM PA and they got here at 1:00 pm. Took me almost 23 hours. ;)

Good job Howard. Goes to show you living in WV does have one perk.
What do you saw with the 4 degree blades? I am waiting on Turbo 7s.

WV Sawmiller · October 13, 2021, 02:17:29 PM

Brandi,

I am steadily standardizing on 4* as my only blade. When I bought the mill I bought 10, 7 & 4 degree blades and have tried them all. I use 4* on any hard wood like oak, ash, etc. but I also find it does better on spruce or such where the wood is soft but there are hard knots which tend to make the blade want to jump up. I can cut soft wood with a 4* blade but I can't cut hard wood with a 10*. As I use up the 10 & 7 degree blades in stock I only replace them with 4's.

ladylake · October 13, 2021, 03:01:31 PM

I've been running 4° for around 17 years, sometimes I have to buy them at 10° but they get sharpened to 4°. Steve

I'm in need of some new bands. Currently using Double hard Turbo 7, but thinking about trying the Ripper 37 in 7 degree. Does anyone know the current wait time on either of these? I hate to call and bug them as I realize everybody is quite busy.

MM I order some 7 degree blades from Jerry's Resharp on 5-8 and received them Friday the 19th. 11 days from my order on a Sunday the 8th to delivery on Friday is not bad in my book.
