BLADES
A History of Quality
Soon after Wood-Mizer had pioneered the portable sawmill business, it became evident that improvements were needed in the quality and
performance of blades. After having limited success with other manufacturers, we decided to make our own.
Today, Wood-Mizer is still the only sawmill manufacturer that produces its own blades. We have an entire team of blade researchers who rigorously
test the steel used in our blades. We use the best equipment available to manufacture the blades, including our very own CBN grinder, and
sophisticated computerized setter. Our technology brings greater accuracy and longer life to every blade that leaves Wood-Mizer.
We offer blades in a wide variety of lengths and profiles, but we’ll customize blades for customers who want something not found on our list.
Wood-Mizer blades come in five distinct brands: RazorTip, BiMetal, MaxFlex, DoubleHard and SilverTip.
All Wood-Mizer blades are produced internally and are subject to rigorous Quality Control processes. Each tooth is individually measured and set
by computer-controlled equipment during the manufacturing process. We supply a wide range of lengths and profiles suited to the most common
applications and to more specialised cutting needs. Custom lengths are also available upon request.

RazorTip Blades
Raw material
STELLITE® BANDSAW BLADES
One word sums up the Wood-Mizer RazorTip blade TOUGH. When you need a blade with
excellent wear power and multiple resharpenings, this blade sets the standard. When other
blades dull with only a few cuts, the RazorTip Stellite® tipped blade is just getting started. When
you need a blade for tough, abrasive woods, Wood-Mizer's RazorTip blade meets the challenge.

MaxFlex Blades
The new bi-metal Wood-Mizer blades deliver higher performance in demanding production wood
cutting. The high-alloy backing material of the blades offer a combination of durability and fatigue
resistance, resulting in longer blade life. Slightly larger than their published size, the additional metal
provides more strength and stability in the blade, resulting in faster sawing and more stable cuts.

DoubleHard Blades
The new MaxFlex sawmill blade features premium quality steel, chosen by Wood-Mizer to outperform
competitors and maximise performance for sawmill customers. The specialized alloy provides longer
blade flex life and increased durability. This premium quality blade will provide sawmill operators
high performance results at an exceptional value.
INDUSTRIAL BANDSAW BLADES
There's a reason these are called "DoubleHard" blades. DoubleHard blades have up to twice the
sharp life of most standard blades. Wood-Mizer DoubleHard blades are tough, non-brittle, and won't
chip or wear down prematurely. DoubleHard blades offer unmatched cutting flexibility, whether you
want to cut frozen or kiln-dried timber, softwoods, hardwoods or knotty woods. DoubleHard Blades
have "IH" in the part number.
BANDSAW BLADES
The Wood-Mizer SilverTip bandsaw blade has been designed specifically for resawing applications.
We use a standard, very flexible base material to give maximum possible flex-life, and then we apply
our unique induction hardening process to each tooth. This combines exceptional sharp life with
maximum flex life in our SilverTip blades for the secondary processing environment.

Sharpening Blades
Many of our Distributors offer a Re-sharp Service. Our accredited Re-sharp Service isn't just about sharpening your
blades. It's about re-manufacturing them. We take the blades through the entire manufacturing process all over again,
on the same equipment we use to make brand new blades. Each blade is re-sharpened using the most sophisticated
CBN grinding technology, along with computerised setters to ensure accuracy and thus straight smooth cuts.

Sharpeners
BLADE MAINTENANCE
Sharpener / personal – BMS250
Wood-Mizer sharpeners feature a 0.18 kW single phase
AC motor with a nominal speed of 2800 rpm.
It is an ideal solution for sharpeners where the presence
of abrasive materials such as oil and metal filings would
quickly ruin other motors. The Wood-Mizer design also
facilitates the easy insertion and removal of the blade.
When installing the blade, the head lifts up
and out of the way so the blade can be
inserted into the clamp. The electric
control box is mounted in such a position
to allow easy access to the controls.
Incorporated into the hinged lid
is a venting pipe that can be connected to an exhaust
system to remove any fumes generated during
the sharpening process. This is especially important
in saw shops where multiple units are being used.
CBN wheels 127 mm (5") and 203 mm (8")
Wood-Mizer supplies specially designed borazon grinding wheels in four profiles which exactly match our factory set profiles.

• 9/29 • 13/29

our most popular and versatile tooth profile
ideal in frozen or especially hard timbers
ideal for fresh softwoods such as Pine or Spruce
this profile is for very hard or frozen wood
this profile is recommended for hardwood;
works best with engines over 15 kW
Sharpener / professional - BMS500
The industrial sharpener, from its very beginning,
has been designed to suit the requirements
of bigger sawmills. It is also equipped
with a system for the easy installation
and removal of the blade. As a standard
feature, the new sharpener has
an electronic tooth counter which
can be pre-set and will then
automatically turn off the sharpening
process after the full cycle.
Our industrial sharpener is powered by 0.75 kW
(2820 rpm main motor) which runs an 8” (203 mm)
CBN wheel with 4280 rpm.
All the functions of the Sharpener are controlled from
the operator panel and we have added an inspection
window and LED lighting to complete the picture.
Wood-Mizer’s tests indicate that the new motor and larger
diameter CBN wheel and precise feeding system doubles
the speed of sharpening in comparison to its smaller brother.

Toothsetters
Crank Toothsetter – BMT100
Of equal importance is the process of setting teeth. Our screw based
setting system is very accurate, easier to use than the old “over-center”
lever system and is less tiring for the operator allowing for faster,
precise setting of your blades. Our setter comes complete with a floor
stand and arms for holding the blade while setting.
The angle of the setter on the stand can be adjusted so that it is easy to
read the set gage. Accurate and repeatable setting from tooth to tooth
ensures accurate, straight cutting.
Dual Toothsetter / Manual crank – BMT200
Set both sides of your blade at the same time easily with the manual
BMT200, which will help you extend your blade’s sharp life and get
the most accurate cut of lumber. One turn of the crank sets two teeth
and moves the blade forward at the same time. The BMT200 handles
25mm-75mm blades, can set from 13mm to 32mm tooth spacing,
and can finely adjust tooth space indexing.
Dual Toothsetter / with Electric Feed System – BMT250
Efficiently set both sides of your blades with automatic control.
For the most complete tooth setting solution, the BMT250 provides
fully automatic setting of both sides of your blades. This automatic
dual tooth setter will allow you to maintain your blade set
with the highest quality and efficiency.
The BMT250 handles 25mm-75mm blades, can set from
13mm to 32mm tooth spacing, and the tooth space indexing
can be finely adjusted. The automatic functions include
an adjustable tooth counter, single tooth or fully automatic blade feed,
and a motor on/off light.
Automatic Toothsetter / Single – BMT300
An industrial, computerized pneumatic setter gives
very high accuracy of the tooth-set and ensures
a high level of repeatability. The computer “learns”
from the first few teeth exactly how much pressure
should be applied to ensure accurate setting.
It also incorporates an electronic control panel giving
access to all the setting parameters required and also
diagnostics should there be a failure.
The Industrial equipment (sharpener and setter)
is designed for enterprises where three, five or more
narrow band sawmills operate as well as
for Re-Sharp Service centres whose business
is based on blade maintenance.
