SPOTLIGHT:
“DoubleHard blades are a money maker. They
add lumber per blade that adds up in the long run.” “Nothing compares to the DoubleHard blades.
– Gary H. These blades run twice as long as any I’ve tried.”­

F
ield tested in demanding sawing applications throughout
the world, Wood-Mizer DoubleHard Blades are the
flagship and workhorse sawmill blade that sawyers have
trusted for decades. DoubleHard Blades earned their name
because Wood-Mizer starts with a high-quality alloy steel
and induction hardens the tooth tip, resulting in a durable
and reliable blade that delivers twice the toughness and twice the
sharp life compared to standard carbon blades.
There’s a reason why DoubleHard is one of the industry’s
most popular sawmill blade. DoubleHard blades are tough,
durable, and won’t chip or wear down prematurely. Each
tooth is precisely set by computer-controlled equipment and
completely profile ground tip to tip using super abrasive
CBN grinding technology to ensure the highest quality blade
performance for any type of sawing application. All Wood-
Mizer blades are quality checked for performance throughout
more than 100 tests and inspections from the selection of raw
materials to the final grind.
With more than 70,000 sawmills operating throughout 120
countries, Wood-Mizer is dedicated to manufacturing blade
profiles that can cut any species of timber in any part
of the world. Wood-Mizer offers DoubleHard Blades in a wide
range of widths, thicknesses, and profiles suited for common
and more specialized cutting needs. The available selection of
DoubleHard Blades offers unmatched cutting flexibility across
the board, whether you need to cut frozen lumber, softwoods,
hardwoods, knotty woods, or in situations where kerf is critical.
