“I'm cutting knotty pine and the blades are getting dull on the hard knots I'm thinking about trying a carbide tip blade to see if that solves my problem”
Hi Volney, When cutting knotty pine, especially in colder conditions, you may face unique challenges. Hard knots can quickly dull or mess the set on standard carbon steel blades. To address this, consider our new 144” StelliCut option (SKU # BLD144-SB3-STELXC-B). This blade features a unique design where every third tooth is stellited, and the remaining tooth tips are hardened to 60-62 HRC. This composition offers exceptional performance due to its high-temperature strength and resistance to wear and corrosion. It's particularly effective when milling hardwoods or frozen logs. Notably, Norwood’s resident Master Sawyer used the StelliCut to mill Ash logs for an entire day without needing a blade change, affirming it as the best value blade in our line-up.
“I've been cutting knotty pine and they are not holding up very well.
I've cut 3 logs and I'm on my 3rd blade so I'm considering a carbide tooth blade to see if will help with the knots”
