Woodmaster C Blades

[WH_Conley]

Got mine today. Will wait til I have some logs that don't have half the mud froze and half thawed. Wouldn't be a fair test when the mud is set up like concrete.

Bill Did you get the 7,s

[WH_Conley]

Should have been 10's. To tell you the truth I was busy when Fedex ran and I didn't get a chance to look.

[Larry]

I got 7's.  They look a lot like WM 7's with the tall tooth, but a few subtle differences.  Can't wait to give em a try in some tough wood but all I have in the yard is softwood right now.   

[LeeB]

I got mine a week or two back. Haven't had anything to use them on yet. The FedEx guy didn't actually deliver to me, he just threw them out in the bushes at the bottom of the hill. Luckily my SIL found them before somebody else did. >:(

[hackberry jake]

Got my bands in today, they look pretty sweet with the blue surface. I can't wait to sink em in some logs!

Got mine yesterday just after lunch! At the same time a load of 16' cedar logs,  thanks daniel,   david

I got to try a 7° on the same oak that dulled a ultra before I got it cut.It went through like nothing, then moved on to a cottonwood, same thing. Then started on ash, no problem until last cut on a cant,and then I heard that bad sound..... :( End of that blade. Hit my first FO, a broad head! They sure made a smooth cut, not much to plane when dry.If the rest are as good I will be putting in a order.   photo to come later.    Keith

I cut a few syp boards yesterday and tried my 10° blades. They work real good I've got more to cut later and will see how they hold up.
Steve, did you see how I did the ° ? :D

Snowed in a froze up, only was to the mill is on snowshoes........and you lucky guys are cutting!

[bandit11208]

Just recieved my 3 blades ;D. Will have to wait to try them cause my mill is 300 miles North of me right now. Thanks Dan your the best!!!!      Does it mean I have a problem when all I dream about at night is cutting logs?

[drobertson]

Yea, you are sick, it is a common ailment,  go to your wood stove, grab some bark and slivers that fell off while loading, take a sniff, or two, and get to the mill as soon as possible,

The blades came about a month ago, (Lenox woodmaster C-Sharp) They gave me 4 instead of 3, 1-1/2" 7 deg.  Just tried them out.  Had dried local Douglas Fir.  This stuff is super hard, and is really on the verge of being a hardwood.  Anyway, they cut very nicely and very straight, despite the crude guide system I have.  The finish is great, and I'm not even going to bother planing the concrete form work timber.

Thanks Lenox for your gracious offerings, and it did not go unnoticed.

Thanks Dan as well for actioning the sample requests.

My free blades came awhile back but the weather is not being kind to Me.
I did get to try one blade out but I don't know if it was a very fair test, The log was a white oak about 26" at the small end, it had been down for about three years and at the time was frozen.
Short of driving some spikes in it I'm not sure what more I could have ask of that blade.
I had some slight diving when cutting the full width of the log but came to find the guides were a little bit out, as soon as I can get into the woods I'm going try the blades on some fresh cut pine.

[Migal]

Ok I'm prepared to test these blades but yet to be offered the chance so as far as Migal is concerned If it sound's to good to be true,then it must be .

[shortlogger]

Migal .... All you have to do is pm Dan Sawyer and tell him what blade you need and he will send them

[drobertson]

I just ran the first one today, a ten degree, All I can say at this point is if they resharpen good, I might have found a new band blade, it just smoked through the erc, not that this is difficult cutting, but really nice surface finishes at a high feed rate.. looking foward to more sawing tomorrow.   david

[millstead]

I have been using the wood master c blades they have been a good blade and I can buy them at a shop 4 miles from home I'm looking forward to trying the new blades out 

[drobertson]

Well I messed up again :D  these are the C-sharps,  mighty fine running blade, been on the cook's super sharp for quite awhile now,  these could replace them if they resharpen well, just saying a good blade but have only ran this one for a few hundred bdft.  david

[xlogger]

Used the C sharp 7° today on some white oak, I really like the way it cut. I've got a few more oak logs to cut tomorrow and will sharpen it to see how it does. I have  used the 10° blades also, they did well too.  thanks, Dan

[hunz]

I received (4) 1-1/4" blades today compliments of Dan, 2 with 7* hook and 2 of the 10*. I haven't had a chance to run them yet but definitely look forward to it based on the other trials on the forum. I have a pile of 25"+ EWP that needs to be sawn and some red/white oak. I have a 33" diam white oak 7' long that has been at the mill for a while, just haven't got up enough nerve to saw it. This sucker is going to give my mill a run for its money. I think these new 7* c sharps may be up to the job, we'll see!

[Magicman]

I agreed to trial the Woodmaster C Blades.  I committed to give them a fair trial and an unbiased opinion.  They came in, but they will have to wait until Pat and I get back home.

I will have to find a source for resharpening.

[drobertson]

Lynn, for someone who has cut way over a million board feet, and the manner in which you do it, I am amazed that you in the  least have no way of sharpening your own. I know you are a man of means, and it is hard for me to figure sending blades to someone else, regardless of how easy it is, cost is cost.  Blade sharpening is not rocket science or time consuming it is a business that either cost or pays.  Take this how you wish, but in the time you have a glass of tea and snack break you could pay yourself and for the snacks,   david

[beenthere]

And he could stay home from elk hunting, and honeymooning, and sharpen blades and even take in blades to sharpen for others.  Come on MM, get R in gear.   ;D ;D ;D

(tongue in cheek here )   ;D
