spiral blades

[jerrog]

Tony--I just give the first twist on each end a couple of taps with a small hammer on my bench vise to flatten them. Don't have to hit them real hard. Works for me, good luck.

I hit my spiral blades against a flat steel piece of a vise with a hammer and flatten the ends. Works good for me. David
Oops, I didn't mean to mock Jerry on this. Sorry 'bout that.

Hi Tony,
Yes, you are wrong. I have so far send orders to at least 40 countries. Even to Chiny, Vietnam, Iran.

Boy Ben, you sure had me going with that little bug under your name. I thought it was on my monitor - tried to get rid of it. Didn't work. Then realized it was moving as I scrolled down the tread. Very cute!

I placed my first order to Mike Saturday afternoon and received an e-mail back from him that evening.Wish the Post Office was that quick!(hehehe).I can't wait to try out some of the different blades.

Not to hijack Tony's thread, but you're going to love cutting with Mike's blades. Went out to do a little cutting yester and slipped a tube of extra blades in my pocket to have close when the inevitable time came and it didn't!. Wasn't doing anything long or difficult, but the blade just kept going.

I know what ya mean Jim.One of my sons won a pack of FD-ur #5's at the Texas Picnic,and I found them the other day.I put one in the saw and finally had to switch as I had cut so long on it that I was smelling hot wood.Must be the first time I wore a blade out without breaking it (I've only had store bought ones).

On a side note to anyone that hasn't checked out Mikes page,you can order as few as a dozen blades and shipping is only two bucks.I can't buy a dozen store bought ones cheaper than his prices.I ordered a half gross of the blades I wanted and several different of the dozen count to experiment with-shipping still two bucks and NO handling charge .
