“I have used the "Standard" blades, and these are far the best for quality and price. Even when dull, they still seen to cut straight. Been using these baldes for the past year or so. Only problem is resharpening. Have to do this by hand. I definitely recommend them.”
“I have been unable to cut a truly straight board with any of the included blades with the mill. Don't get me wrong, they were great for learning. I went through 5 of my originally purchased 110 without a single waveless board. This was a blessing in disguise, however. It made me investigate every aspect of my setup to determine if it was something other than the blade. In my ignorance, I thought a brand new blade couldn't be the problem.
Once I put a new one of these blades on, it was like Norwood sent me a brand new sawmill. It turns out, all my other tweaks were dead on. I now have square, waveless, and perfectly measured boards from one end to the other. I'm eager to see how the carbide blade I got cuts. I'm saving that for later for when I start using some harder and more exotic woods.
I'm thankful for the experience with the earlier blades. If I had these blades from the beginning, I would be further along in my sawmilling journey, though.”
“I like the cut provided by these blades. They are susceptible to breaking. The HD 36V2 has some design flaws that could be improved if you want to discuss.”
