There were two Kasco Representatives at the Sycamore Project recently. One of the guys let me have some Kasco blades to try out.  Since I haven't  ran the mill much, sorry to say I have not tried them out yet.

Kasco blades are all that I buy when I need some these days. I've used the 10's on pine, juniper and box elder burls and they work great. I did get a couple 4's for some russian olive that work great also. I have an EZ Boardwalk Jr and feel Kasco blades work better for me than what is recommended by the manufacturer and they are much cheaper.
I've used WM and Cooks blades also and I can't tell the difference.
The man that I've dealt with is Derek and he seems like a great guy to do business with.

Had a couple of folks tell me about the Kasco Blades. Think I will give them a try.

  I have also switched to Kasco blades. Many of the local sawyers in my area are also switching. We are all growing tired of the quality control issues of WM blades. We have been buying our Kasco blades from forum member Cutting Edge. He is a Kasco factory direct distributor. He also distributes CBN wheels to maintain the proper tooth profiles. Another positive attribute of buying Kasco blades is they offer free shipping on orders of 30 blades compared to 60 blades from WM. If you are looking for a quality blade at a fair price, give the Kasco blades a try.

I was at the Expo in Richmond last month and stopped by the Kasco booth. Left my contact info and today I received an email from the local rep wanting to sell me blades. My mill is on order from Baker and should be here soon, so being new to sawmilling hearing the opinions on Kasco is helpful. Thank you!

I switched from WM to Kasco bands several months ago and found that my rate of band breakage dropped by 90%.

Baker now recommends both Kasco and Lennox bands.

     Couple of things I need to look at, but I'm seriously considering switching to your bands too.  (Just a reminder that some of the benefits don't show up right away.)  :)

Does kasco have a comparable blade to a 7/39 turbo?

Does Kasco offer a sharpening service, similar to re sharp? Looked on there site, can't seem to figure that out.

I had Kasco send me a 7deg blade to try and it was great till I hit the back stop. Now I received two 4 deg to mill some
White Oak from Cutting Edge but this rain has put me grounded till now. When I did get to try them they sure did ok
but with our manual Norewood mill they seem to be not any different then the 10 deg blades in wide cut. In 6 or 8"
cuts they did real good. So what I need to know is should I be using water drip on the blade with some soap? These
Oak have been down for a year so may be a little dry. We have a Honda 20hp engine but not sure what the blade
speed is. We are running at 3600 rpm but still seem to push hard and it makes for a long day. We are cleaning up
under the mill next week and I am going the see what size band wheel size is and the engine pulley size to  see if we
are getting the right band speed.

     It is on my short list to get a few Kasco blades to try out- you fellas that have done so, how did you get 1 or 2? The only way I have seen to buy them, you had to get a whole box.

I got a box of Kasco's from Cutting Edge...gonna be all I run from here on out. 

Barbender, just ask them for a sample blade!
Boy, back in my day..

I have been amazed at how good of quality their blades are. I usually get about 1/2 day out of a blade and the Kasco's I am averaging almost 2 days.... Wow is all I can say.
