Metal cutting saw blades are the most flexible, forgiving cutting tools in use today. Simonds has a "Tradition of Quality" - Abel Simonds started the "Tradition" way back in 1832. We are leaders in the metal cutting marketplace, with a long history manufacturing saw blades dating back into the mid-1800's. Today we uphold our proud tradition by offering the industry's most complete, top-quality line of saws and accessory products.
Simonds invented the metal cutting Carbide Tipped bandsaw blade back in 1963, and since that time we have been the product innovator, with such notable firsts as:
- Si-Namic in 1978 - its innovative ramped back overcomes work-hardening - now evolved into SineWave
- XL in 1980 - the first "production" band with an aggressive tooth design - evolved into SiClone
- Triple Chip Carbide Tipped blades in 1985 - designed to cut the super-alloys
- Bundle Band in 1993 - the first "ground tooth" blade - now evolved into IC Enduro
- Si-Clone in 1993 - designed specifically for cutting high nickel and chrome alloys
Simonds, through experience and innovation, offers a saw blade for virtually every application!
