Woodturners Blade
Developed specifically for woodturners producing their own curved blanks. The innovative back tooth design reduces resistance in the cut, helping minimise vibration while improving cutting efficiency and control. The Woodturners Blade is suitable for most bandsaws and is ideal for cutting curves.
Box Makers Blade
The Box Makers Blade is designed for woodworkers producing intricate bandsaw boxes. The narrow profile follows tight curves effortlessly and delivers smooth, accurate cuts for detailed shaping, cavity work and internal components.
