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. 

[Peter Drouin]

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??

[Daburner87]

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.

[barbender]

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]

Block is becoming a lost art!

[TimW]

I like your lift.  How much will it safely lift?
       hugs,  Brandi

[Peter Drouin]

10,000 lb

[TimW]

10,000 lb

Then I would need two of them.
hugs,  Brandi

[thecfarm]

Keep on posting pictures of the build!!!

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)

[Peter Drouin]

Not sure about the guy at WM but, my blades came in Monday, All 6 boxes.

They quoted you 4-6 weeks lead time and you got them in 5 days???

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.
hugs,  Brandi

[WV Sawmiller]

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]

 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.

The Rippers are good bands but unless Jerry's has the 7° deep gullet rippers they aren't the same as turbo 7°
I have bought from Jerry's and have never been offered the ripper deeps.
I know they are made because I can get a cbn wheels for that profile.

[ladylake]

 
 

 I find shallow gullet blades cut straighter and just as fast.  More blade body, shorter tooth twisting on the blade.  Steve

[Maine Miller]

Thanks for the info Riley. That is not a bad lead time at all in these times. 

My resharp guy is the one who put me on to the Rippers. 

Also, Bruno, I let him know that you could be a new source for CBN wheels. He is not liking all the price increases on the ones he has been buying

[T4R11]

I ordered from Jerry's Resharp and my order was filled within 2 weeks (received early last week). I ordered 7 degree blades and some of the deep 7 blades...so they have both. They were great to work with and very customer friendly. I am doing some maintenance work on my mill so I have not tried them yet.

[Southside]

So do you live there or have a camp in T4 R11? 

[T4R11]

Camp...actually Millinocket...South Twin Lake - Pemadumcook Chain

[Maine Miller]

A friend gave me a new Ripper 7 degree to try over the weekend. I only cut mostly cedar with it, then one 16 inch 12 foot hemlock. It seemed to work every bit as good as my Turbo 7s, so I decided to order some from Jerry's.......SOLD OUT......my luck.

[Maine Miller]

Has anybody tried the Lenox Woodmaster GT blades?
Looks like they are only offered in a 10 degree profile in the size I would need.

[Bruno of NH]

They make them in 7° I believe 

[fluidpowerpro]

I've always used Woodmizer 10* blades, either double hard or silver tips. Hate to admit it, but that's what my mills came with, so that's what Ive kept on using. I cut mostly red oak, birch, poplar and red pine. When I look at the Woodmizer site I get the impression that 10* should be a good all around general purpose blade for both hard and soft woods. I do sometimes get some waves in the pine near knots.
What would you guys recommend I use for the types of wood I cut. I have a drag type sharpener so I can adjust the angle for different blades.

[barbender]

10° has always cut fine for me. The 7° Turbo I'm running now allows faster feed speeds if you have the horsepower. Not getting waves around pine knots is always a challenge, with any blade I've used. I haven't given 4° blades a try yet, I'm happy with the Turbo 7's they will saw straight through pine knots if I slow down a bit.

I bet you could cut Cedar with the blade on backwards 😂. That stuff cuts like butter 🧈 

[Southside]

You can cut reclaimed white oak beams with a turbo on backwards, at least one cut worth.  It sure sounds funny and not exactly great cut quality - but it will cut.   ;D
