Woodwork in Progress

Gerrymet are creating a woodworking tools information website on WordPress where you can read about the various uses of the tooling and saw blades supplied online from Gerrymet. 

Metal and woodworking is naturally a very specialised discipline. There are hundreds of tools for as many purposes. For each material such as wood or metal or plastic there is a saw blade required for each material.

The website aims to look at how each tool - circular saw blades, bandsaws, knives, chisels - has been used in the past and are still being used in the saw blades and wood cutting tooling industry.

To see the work-in-progress that is the woodworking info website please click and follow the links below.

Recently through the traineeship Gerrymet have employed Damian Williams, age 20, as a Trainee Saw Doctor. 

Gerrymet director, Tim Willis, said: “I was looking to employ someone and the Traineeship for Industry allowed me to see the trainee work and see how keen they are. I was really impressed with Damian’s attitude and took him on as a Trainee Saw Doctor. He’s fitted in really well and I can see that Skills Training UK have really listened to what employers want.” 

Damian said: “I’m really happy. I’d never considered doing anything like this before but I’m really enjoying working at Gerrymet and doing something that’s hands on. I can say to people now, I’m 20 and I’ve got a job, which has made a huge difference to my life.”

Stellite Tip Blades

Below is a new blog article added to the woodworking tool supply website for Gerrymet. It talks about satellite tipped blades. Stellite is the registered trade mark of the Deloro Stellite Company.

The blog post offers the benefits of using them in your tooling workshop.

You can read the blog post on the Gerrymet website, by clicking here:- Stellite tip blades.

Or read below for more details . . .

"With a large proportion of U.K. saw millers already using satellite-tipped wide bandsaw blades, most sawyers / mill operators should, if they have not already done so, be considering the advantages to be gained by using stellite tipped blades. 

Stellite is a wear resistant material composed of 60% cobalt, 29% chrome, 10% tungsten & 1% carbon and has a hardness of 47-51 HRC. This compares with a swage set hardness of 41-43 HRC and a tungsten carbide hardness of 67-82 HRC. From these figures it's clear that stellite has a relatively high hardness factor but isn't as brittle as tungsten carbide. 

It has traditionally proved to be ideally suited for cutting timbers that rapidly wear down the cutting edges of swage set blades. The extra durability of stellite enables the blades to be run for longer periods between sharpening, in certain instances 16+ hours have regularly been achieved, although this is very dependent upon the condition of the headrig/machine. Therefore it is necessary for saw millers to experiment and instigate a planned saw blade change/maintenance policy. 

Generally, stellite can be run for twice the time of a swage set blade, with the obvious cost savings in downtime and resharpening, although it should be noted that blades need re-tipping every 6-12 sharpenings, dependent upon the maximum/minimum cutting kerf needed to maintain a consistent accuracy of cut. 

From research carried out, mainly in the U.S.A., it has been established that a swage set blade can be using 15% more power after 4 hours use, whilst a stellite tipped blade, at the same point, will only use 1.5% more energy than when first mounted after sharpening. 

We have noted from our own experience a stellite tipped blade can be ground/sharpened to higher tolerances. Therefore a stellite tipped blade produces a smoother board finish than that of a swage set blade. The cutting kerf of a stellite tipped blade can, if necessary, be maintained consistently smaller than that of a swage set blade. 

And less timber is lost to saw dust. Since the amount of metal removed from the width of the blade, during re-sharpening of a stellite tipped blade, is less than that of a swage set blade fewer new blades need to be purchased per year. 

In summary: - Reduced downtime. - Reduced energy costs. - Better quality of cut. - Increased yield. - Longer sawblade life."
