Custom kerf saw blades

Jay Pique · 2007-08-22T21:37:08+00:00

Anyone know of a supplier of saw blades in unusually wide kerfs? I'mlooking for a single blade that will cut a kef of .220", give or takea few thou. I'm planning on using it to groove drawer parts to accept5mm/~.200" plywood bottoms. Dado stacks only cut as small as .25",and none of our blades is large enough. I've sort of ruled out usinga router bit. Feel free to argue otherwise though.JP

They have been great to work with over the years. Never disappointed.

Thanks for the follow-up! I might have to get one myself, as nearly all of my drawer bottoms are the same plywood.

Set farther down the tooth puts stress in the gullets. leads to cracking. I have seen a few set blades with brazed teeth but these were of the syncab/china freight/junk variety with skinny stellite tips. So far in 20 years of general sharpening I have yet to encounter a carbide saw with set in the plate. Might be an industry that uses one but I doubt it.
