Forrest's Versatile Woodworker II-ATBR Saw Blades
Craftsmen and serious hobbyists praise these 40-tooth 10" and 12" blades - featuring an
Alternate Top Bevel + Raker tooth style-for their ability to do "practically everything."
CLIFTON, New Jersey - Jay Forrest, Vice President of Forrest Manufacturing, announced today that there is a growing demand for the Forrest line of Woodworker II-ATBR blades. He said, "We've been manufacturing these combination blades for quite some time. They have always been a popular choice among trade show attendees because of their proven ability to perform a significant variety of cuts. But it's only been in the last year or two that many woodworkers and serious hobbyists have 'discovered' that these multi-purpose blades are readily available through Forrest's regular distribution channels. This means they can be ordered from our fine-quality dealers and retailers, from catalogs, or direct from our factory here in Clifton, New Jersey."
Mr. Forrest goes on to say, "Our Woodworker II-ATBR blades are extremely versatile. They make excellent rip cuts and crosscuts. They're great for box joints, finger joints, and tenons. And because they perform much like a dado, you get an almost flat bottom. You can rely on them for virtually 90° square bottom grooves with only slight score marks on each side of the cut. The ATBR designation means that every 5th tooth is flat. As a result, these blades consume the wood more quickly and provide a fast, easy feed for thick hardwoods."
A Choice of Four Quality Blades
Forrest offers a choice of four 40-Tooth Woodworker II-ATBR blades. These are available in 10"and 12" versions. The two 10" blades have a 5/8" bore and can be ordered with either a 1/8"kerf (Catalog #WW10406125) or a thinner 3/32" kerf (Catalog #WW10406100). They list for $130 each. The two 12" blades have a 1/8" kerf. However, customers have a choice of either a 1" bore (Catalog #WW12406125) or a 5/8" bore (Catalog #WW12406125A). The two 12" blades are listed at $150 each. In commenting further on why the 40-Tooth Woodworker II-ATBR Blades are so popular, Vice President Forrest says, "Experienced craftsmen have found that these versatile, combination blades make a very desirable and useful addition to any shop. In fact, it is only a slight exaggeration to say these four quality blades are capable of doing practically everything."
Made with C-4 Carbide
Forrest blades are precision-engineered from corrosion-resistant, super-strong C-4 micrograin carbide. This gives them up to 300% longer life between sharpening, compared to other carbide blades.
