    Absolutely, we would share all the raw material (toothed strip and caps), engineering drawings, supplier information, historic customer data, etc. I'll get a SF measurement from the facility / maintenance manager tomorrow. Steve.

    hole saws...

    The biggest issue is that our process for manufacturing the hole saws, as well as the related equipment, is outdated. Some of our competitors still have hole saw lines in the USA, but those are highly automated. An automated hole saw line is a very expensive proposition. The rest of the...

    Oh, yes - we have been manufacturing in Pevely, MO since 1993, and have grown every year. We have never laid anyone off. We are re-allocating floor space that was occupied by the hole saw line to expand our core business and keep growing! Thanks again, Steve.

    I am happy to hear that folks are happy with their orders! The response to this offer has been WAYYY bigger than expected, which is fantastic. To put this in perspective, prior to this offer, we may have processed somewhere in the range of 5-10 orders per day. Based on the response to the...

    Maybe surprising, maybe not, but I have always used bi-metal hole saws. My experience with Carbide Tipped is very limited. For plain carbon steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, etc - I've always had good luck with the bi-metal, and haven't seen the need to pay the extra $$ (even though we make...

    UPDATE - SawBladeExpress WILL be offering empty blow-molded cases for sale. Thank you, gampt 945 for the suggestion. We have hundreds of empty cases in stock. They will be listed for $2 each, just like the hole saws. It might take a couple of days to get these items listed on the site, as our...

    It's relatively common for those Delta saws to be used with a nominal 6" bolt-in "Riser" extension which increases the distance between the wheels. If your saw has a bolt in "Riser", then it will take a 105" blade.

    That is an excellent machine! The 14" Delta and its many "clones" are arguably the most popular wood cutting band saws ever made. They are popular in everything from school "shop classes" to many industrial applications, to folks like us who are garage/shop hobbyists. If unmodified, that saw...

    ...and if anyone is interested in my personal projects (Garage Content), Land Speed Racing is my main hobby. I currently hold the H/DT record on the salt, as well as on pavement. I'm swapping engines in the truck right now, getting it ready for Bonneville Speed Week 2017... My build thread...

    Thank you, Tom! We make those right here in Pevely, MO as well. There is another popular carbon steel re-saw blade on the market, but their stuff is all made in Mexico. We like ours better, and so do a lot of folks. As a point of pride, and to show that we are for real, here's a peek at a...

    Great idea! Yes, once we have run out of enough hole saws to fill all the "kits", we will still have black plastic cases left over. I'll bring that idea up at our Staff Meeting tomorrow morning, and get someone to list the cases on the SBE website. Just a little background - SawBladeExpress...

    Hello everyone - Steve M here. I'm the OP for the hole saw closeout sale originally posted on the Landracing forum, which was subsequently cross-posted here. The response to this closeout has been fantastic. SawBladeExpress has normally been staffed by 1 person, filling a few small orders per...
