Vermont American - new line of carbide blades

Vermont American carbide bladesVermont American introduces a new line of carbide blades.

All blades have a heavy, fully-hardened plate to resist deflection under load, laser-cut body with precision tolerances for accurate cuts, tri-metal shim braze that increases impact resistance for longer life and helps prevent fractures in the carbide teeth, patented C3 Dyanite™ carbide that lasts 6 times longer than standard carbide and their extra-large teeth that allow re-sharpening for extended life.

The 27247 blade is designed to work with 6-1/2” standard or wormdrive circular saws and has a 40-tooth count to deliver clean cuts whether ripping or cross-cutting.

The vast majority of portable circular saws use a 7-1/4” blade and Vermont American has introduced six new blades to tackle a variety of applications. All blades include a diamond arbor knock-out for wormdrive saws.

In the 7-1/4” wood cutting category, Vermont American offers three blades:

  • 27248 – Designed for ripping, this blade has 12 teeth and a Flat Top Grind (FTG) configuration. In tandem, these features allow users to cut wider boards along their length or quickly resize plywood or building panels.
  • 27249 – Able to rip or cross-cut, the blade has 24 teeth and an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) tooth configuration.
  • 27250 – Rip or cross-cut, but with a 40 tooth ATB configuration, this blade produces a cleaner cut for pieces where a smoother finish is desired.

SpeedRocker-SS from C.H. Hanson

C.H. Hanson SpeedRocker-SS

Looks like C.H. Hanson is taking the pain out of scoring drywall. This little compact utility knife has their “ScorSlot” feature which allows you to snap in a measuring tape. Plus it’s compact so you don’t have to loose some room in the tool belt.

This allows users to measure and score at the same time without breaking the tape, and best of all; it keeps fingers safely away from the blade. For all applications, the thumb rest allows users to apply pressure directly over the blade, making for easier, faster scoring and cutting.

Coming soon: Review of the C.H. Hanson Utility Flip Knife - Been using this after going through too many el-cheepos and it’s GREAT!

Felder Ontario blowout sale

Felder: format-4 kappa 40 panel sawFelder of Ontario is having a huge sale on some Felder Kappa saws and other machines. For example this Format-4 Kappa 40 panel saw saves you $4100! Let’s not forget that these are probably the Rolls Royce of woodworking equipment but when you consider all you get and the quality, the price can be justified. The thing even scores it before it cuts, and if you take a look at the larger, and of course more expensive, units… ouf! Shapper and everything comes with the 500 - 900 series.

If you aren’t too familiar with Felder, you might want to check out some of their videos here. But be careful, temptation can be expensive.

Get more details on the sales here… (Especially the “All Arounder” video).
