Wood-Mizer Blades:
Continuing Research and Development

There are dozens of portable sawmill manufacturers selling thin-kerf bandsaw mills today. But there is only one shop that manufactures mills and blades. Wood-Mizer is the only sawmill and pallet saw manufacturer to produce blades for these equipment applications. Designing and manufacturing our own blade production and maintenance equipment allows us to produce blades with consistent quality.

Wood-Mizer is unmatched in the extensive services we offer, including our exclusive blade maintenance program, ReSharp, and an automatic blade replacement program.

By making our own blades, we are able to control every step of the process, from the selection of raw materials, to the rigorous tests and quality controls, to the equipment used in the manufacturing. The result is a quality blade that'll keep your production at the level you desire.

Continuing Research and Development
Wood-Mizer puts a very heavy emphasis on testing all of our products. Our blade research facility is based at Wood-Mizer's World Headquarters in Indianapolis, so the blades can be strictly tested on our sawmills for hours at a time. This allows our researchers to conduct tests to determine which blade profiles work best for certain applications, and which blades are best suited to our large variety of portable sawmills.
Our team of blade researchers begins the testing with the raw material, then pulls blades from each coil we produce for additional testing. Wood-Mizer conducts 100 tests and inspections, all to get perfect blades to you each and every day. When the tests are complete, we can assure you that your blades will withstand even the harshest of cutting conditions.

Step 1:
A cut-off machine cuts weld samples for heat-lot approval. Raw material is then inspected for correctness of the weld and to see if the material is homogenous.
Step 2:  
Blade is polished, allowing technician to see the structure of the blade steel.
Step 3:  
Weld is run through a microhardness test to determine its structural integrity. A diamond is used to form indentations on the sample to determine steel strength. The sample is magnified up to 500 times to check the density of diamond indentations on the heat-effective zone and the base material.
Step 4:  
Data is entered and reviewed.
Step 5:
The Wood-Mizer blade is approved for production and distribution.
