Saturn Blades

[Mr Ed]

TW blades are made from a swedish steel i think.

 

Wonder if any one makes tunsgten tipped blades ??.

 

Saturns Knives are made from Swedish Udderholme chipper knife steel, exactly the same as TW's knives.

 

Van Deale chippers have Tungsten Carbide tipped knives.

Rupe, the bolts I had where hex ( allen screw) head bolts not torx drive bolts. Things may have changed. I had no problem with them.

Saturn blades are going strong here too on my TP. No problem with them. They were much cheaper than the originals

I've bought about 15 pairs of 4 inch knives from Saturn over the years and never had any problems. I have found the torx bolts to be poorly finished (generally buy my own from local bolt specialist) and the coppaslip tube is tiny - but I've got my own tube so no worries. Overall the knives are great value. I do recall there was some legal goings on between Saturn and Timberwolf until a couple of years ago. Saturn were only able to advertise the blades as 4 inch standard for popular chippers. I guess that all got resolved and they now advertise them as timberwolf compatible.

They also recently contacted established customers with a deal of 4 pairs for the price of 3. That was about £150.00 for 4 pairs.

It does seem like a good deal - just good enough to be true.
