Wood-Mizer ExtraCUT blades set a new standard in wood cutting performance

Wood-Mizer launches ExtraCUT series - blades designed for cleaner cuts, higher yields and extended service life in industrial woodworking. Developed to meet the ever-increasing demands for precision and efficiency in wood processing, the ExtraCUT blade features a unique tooth configuration that improves both the cut quality and durability of the blade.

Wood-Mizer ExtraCUT

Innovative tooth design

The ExtraCUT blade is characterized by the Left-Right-Right-Right tooth configuration, a solution usually associated with high-performance blades such as X-Cut. In this configuration, every third tooth - the right (raker) tooth - is plated with Stellite, while the left and right teeth are induction hardened. This combination ensures durability even under the most demanding cutting conditions.

Thanks to this design, ExtraCUT produces smoother cuts with less sawdust and extends blade life by approximately 30% compared to standard blades, according to recent tests.

Built on a tradition of excellence

ExtraCUT blades are made from premium Wood-Mizer steel strip, recognized for its strength and stability - a clear advantage over many competitors who use inferior materials. This guarantees consistent performance, even in intensive operations, when cutting hardwoods or knotty wood.

Featuring standard tooth pitch, ExtraCUT blades are compatible with existing Wood-Mizer sharpening and planing equipment, making them an easy upgrade option for current users.

The quality of the blade - the critical factor in wood cutting

As one of the few sawmill manufacturers that also makes its own narrow saws, Wood-Mizer ensures that each saw blade goes through a rigorous quality control process - from raw steel inspection to final delivery. This commitment to quality underscores a fundamental truth in wood-cutting: the quality of the blade has a greater impact on the cut than the saw itself or the experience level of the operator.

The main benefits of ExtraCUT saw blades:

  • Smooth cutting surface: Users consistently report a „clean, nice, smooth surface” that often requires no additional machining - ideal for projects where a rough-cut look is desired.
  • Easy maintenance: The blades can be sharpened with a standard 10/30 grinding stone. It is not necessary to clean the teeth after each sharpening, although periodic checks are recommended.
  • No need to change the cloth while working: The adaptability of ExtraCUT blades to different types of wood allows logs of mixed species to be cut without interruption.
  • High dimensional accuracy: Even in difficult materials, such as dry spruce, the cloth maintains constant plank thickness and width.
  • Professionally ground teeth: Unlike cheaper, pressed-toothed blades, ExtraCUT teeth are precision ground, offering superior geometry and greater flow accuracy.
  • Increased productivity: Thanks to its Stellite-plated straight raker tooth and increased durability, ExtraCUT allows higher cutting speeds.

A strategic addition to the canvas portfolio

ExtraCUT joins a robust range of Wood-Mizer blades, including the MaxFlex, DoubleHARD, SilverTIP, BiMETAL and StartCUT series - each designed to meet specific customer needs, from hobbyists to industrial sawmills.
