where to buy Peterson sawmill blades?

[john432]

Just bought a second hand 10" cut Wpf saw. But I need a pair of new blades to get me started. Any recommendations on a supplier/manufacturer, tia John

Log logic . Devon

£364 plus the tax man bounty for the 10". Each. When you get them look after them and always keep them sharp. Only takes 5 mind if you've not trashed the teeth. Find yourself a good saw doc. Almost as important as good customers. Without the doc ya fookd

Thanks Skc, are the original Peterson worth the extra? Been quoted less than £100 for a new blade from Atkinson Walker of Sheffield. Who also do doctoring at a reasonable rate.anyone used them?

Sorry can't help you out beyond what's already been given. I'm a luv as Miller but got prices for Peters instance this year . May have to look at Atkinson a myself. My doc charges €41 to re tip the blades. I usually re tip before they need it. As the kerf width reduces minutely with each sharpen and you start to get cutting issues esp with hairy grained wood.

Good luck. Really fancied the WPF but couldn't raise the capital.

Don't know anything about Peterson mills, but we've used Atkinson Walker's nail chomping blades for ripping reclaimed timber joists and rafters for a couple of years now. Excellent. UK made. Family business and they give good discounts.
