Saw blade manufacturer

[Charlie Self]

Some time ago, I found some matterial on circular saws, I think coming out of a Canadian distributor, for an Israeli manufacturer.

Can niether recall the name, nor where I found the material, and would like to include the company in an article coming up fairly quickly.

Any ideas? I played with Di---???? And I think it is still close to the start, but my finishes (d-marc, dimark, dimarc) ain't hitting on much.

Dimar. See dimarcanada.com for their website. This is what my dado set from Lee Valley says on the case anyway. HTH. Cheers, cc

Cubby responds:

Marvelous. Thank you.

Dimar - got an old catalog and some of their router bits (great quality) Unfortunately no contact details in the catologue. Most of the info is in German but the pictures talk. HTH

Hi Charlie -

Rob Lee responds:

because they're already well known under another name, a company which I've already talked to.

Thanks.

Ken Muldrew notes:

Rob Lee says they're sold as Amana in the States, so they'll be excellent value for the money, and darned good blades, to boot..

I once tried ordering a set of blades for my Makita 2040 planer from them. I sent an email on a Saturday, they got back to me on a Sunday & the blades were on their way on the Monday after a phone call to confirm. They told me they normally don't sell retail, but since I was in a "remote" area, they sold them to me directly. Good bunch to deal with & the blades are fine, and a lot cheaper than what Makita would have charged.
