They do come very well recommended from a number of sources. The Logmaster sawmill I'm getting is coming with the Dakin Flathers (Ripper 37) blades.

Hi All,

i have just made a purchase of some Dakin Flathers 'Ripper 37s' to cut some oak, yew, silver birch and sweet chestnut, by the sounds of the reports on here they will be pretty good. (i cant wait to get on the mill, i'v waited all autumn for this)

I shopped around a bit and the best price i got was from a company called appleby woodturnings

i have found them unbeatable on sharpening, spindle profiles etc. There ripper 37's are not on the website but i saw he stocked Dakin Flathers, made the inquiry and jeremy came back with a very good price, try em out guys

I'm using 2 inch Ripper 37 bands on the Logmaster and they are superb. I'm on one band at the moment that has cut 180 cubic foot of poplar sleepers/posts, 45 cubic foot of sycamore, some spruce and is still sharp. Excellent!

The biggest Thibg we have found is with any blade you need to let them rest, once they have gone blunt we take them off then leave them at least 24 hrs before setting and then grinding.

Honestly we haven't had a blade snap in ages and the life we get out of our blades is starting to annoy our blade supplier lol
