Longer Life, Reliable Performance
MaxFLEX blades are engineered with premium high-alloy steel to ensure exceptional flexibility and extended sawing life. These blades are designed for both portable and industrial sawmill operations, as well as resawing applications, providing consistent performance even in demanding environments.
Built for Durability and Precision
MaxFLEX blades are manufactured using carefully selected European steel alloys, chosen specifically for their ability to withstand bending stress and deliver longer blade life. Each tooth is induction-hardened for toughness, then precisely set and ground using advanced CBN technology to achieve uniform sharpness and accuracy.
Tested for Consistency and Efficiency
Rigorous bench tests at Wood-Mizer’s factory confirm MaxFLEX blades offer superior resistance to bending stress compared to other sawmill blades. This durability translates into reliable, high-quality cuts and longer blade life, helping sawmillers maintain efficiency in their operations.
A Trusted Choice for Professionals
MaxFLEX blades deliver the performance and reliability that sawmillers require to stay productive. With their ability to achieve high sawing speeds and maintain a long operational life, these blades are especially valued in operations where both productivity and precision are critical.

Wood-Mizer Sawmill Blade Tooth Profile
Each Wood-Mizer bandsaw blade tooth is precisely set using computer-controlled equipment in the production process. Thanks to CBN technology, the entire blade profile is sharpened uniformly, ensuring the highest quality. All Wood-Mizer blades undergo dozens of tests and inspections - from raw material selection to final grinding - to guarantee optimal performance. Compatible with many brands and models of sawmills and resaws, Wood-Mizer blades deliver unmatched quality, precision, and efficiency in every situation.
The blade tooth profile is formed by two angles: the hook angle and the back angle. Hook angle is the number of degrees that the tooth face leans forward of 90 degrees. Back angle is the number of degrees that the backside of the tooth leans backward of 90 degrees.
The profile of a sawmill blade should be chosen based on the type of wood you are sawing and what type of equipment you are sawing with.
Our profiles
- 7/34, 7/39 and 7/47 – Ideal for cutting hardwood on sawmills with higher-powered engines (18.4 kW / 25 HP or more).
- 9/29 – Ideal for cutting frozen wood and hardwood on lower-powered sawmills (18 kW / 24 HP or less).
- 10/30 – A popular universal blade, suitable for all power levels, designed for cutting various wood species.
- Vortex™ – Available exclusively from Wood-Mizer, featuring a unique profile that enhances sawdust removal from the cutting area. Essential for production facilities that kiln-dry lumber. The next-generation Vortex™ blades eliminate the need for manual board cleaning, streamlining operations and reducing operating costs.
