Peterson blades last for 2-6 years with normal use and maintainece. However, some owners have been using the same blades for over 10 years! With our blade maintenance is minimal as our blades can be sharpened right on the mill in less than five minutes.
If you want to get the most out of your logs, you may be interested in our MicroKerf blade, giving up to 20% more recovery. If you have blade questions that aren't answered below, please email us.

circular blades require far less maintenance than other blades.
Thinner or wider kerf blades available on 8” and 10” blades

Use your sawdoctor
For most millers, it is a simple exercise to take their Peterson blade to a local sawdoctor who can carry out the blade repairs quite cheaply and effectively. However, if access to a sawdoctor is limited, but you do have access to a gas welding set, you can purchase retipping jigs from us to retip your own blades. |
