Holzma (now Homag) has created a reputation for being one of the go-to manufacturers for beam and panel saws in the world. Their markets include cabinet makers, home and office furniture manufacturers, kitchen manufacturers, shop and store fixtures, the panel producing industry, and much more.

To serve the diverse needs of their customers, they’ve created several different series of saws. The Series 1 – 5 beam saws have an array of special capabilities and differences. While we won’t get into the specifics of each type here on this forum, we do want to highlight the specific models for which ToolWolf carries table and circular saw blades.

Our Schaffer brand panel saw blades for the Holzma (Homag) machine fit the following Series/Models perfectly right out of the box:

If you’re looking for a high-quality, extremely well-priced, German-made panel saw blade to accompany your Holzma (Homag) panel or table saw, look no farther than ToolWolf!

We don’t generally like to toot our own horn, but it’s ok if our customers do it! ToolWolf recently worked with one of its best customers – a 100-person custom furniture manufacturer in the Southeast U.S. – to run a comparison test between our German-made Schaffer panel saw blades and the blades of three other brands.

Why did our customer choose to do this test? A few reasons. First, their local saw shop was offering all three competing blades and they were curious how the Schaffer brand would perform. Second, they genuinely wanted to see if there were any differences in longevity between the various brands of German descent.

Our customer has two production lines running each day, so they developed a testing methodology whereby the Schaffer blades would run on one line and the competitor on the other. Each set of blades was subjected to the same production requirements in terms of cuts per hour, sheets per cut and identical material type. Their primary measurement, besides cut quality, was to look at how long each set of blades could run before being pulled off for sharpening.

Shown below are the side-by-side comparisons our customer reported back to us:

Schaffer vs. FS Tool blades = 12% longer run time

Schaffer vs. Guhdo blades = 8% longer run time

Schaffer vs. Leitz blades = 9% longer run time

As their results showed, the Schaffer brand provided longer run times in each comparison. The other feedback we received was that the cut quality was better for the Schaffer blades in all cases as well.

We recognize that there are a lot of quality panel saw blade manufacturers out there. We do think it’s noteworthy, however, that the feedback we receive time and again from our customers is that the Schaffer brand is superior. This was the first time that a customer provided us with actual data to show it, so we are forever grateful to them for running the test.

Thanks to all of our customers. May the second half of 2017 be a great year for all in the woodworking industry!

ToolWolf would like to extend a sincere thanks to our customers who kept us going in 2015. We had custom cabinet shops, California Closets, Closets by Design and all manner of industrial woodworking customers join us last year. ToolWolf is proud to offer the largest inventory of panel saw blades, metric boring bits, carbide inserts and solid carbide router bits on the internet.

In particular, our line of Schaffer panel saw blades were a big hit in 2015. Everyone loves their German quality. We have increased our inventory to make sure we have them available for whatever machine or application you are running, including:

Another item that our customers found particularly valuable was our line of solid carbide metric boring bits. These woodworking tools have a solid carbide spiral – from the cutting tip to the shank – to provide longer life and a higher quality cut. These are available in a wide array of sizes, from 3mm – 10mm in diameter and 57mm – 77mm in overall length (all with a 10mm round shank). They also come in:
