WOOD SLICER
Testimonial
Just wanted to drop you folks a note and tell you how please I am with my new Wood Slicer band saw blade. I had a chance to use the new blade today when resawing some red oak. All of the great comments others have said about this blade are true! It cut quickly, cleanly and straight, even on my 20 year old imported band saw! My only regret is that I didn’t purchase this blade earlier. You can be certain I will brag up this blade on the wood working forums! — Lewis K.
