    I don't plan on becoming a site sponsor or a distributor. I just came across a post about Thurston, and wanted to share my comments. And shamelessly put in a plug for custom made saw blades for your table saw from Hyde IBS.😅 Btw, we have engineers that will gladly help you out with the saw blade specs and wood applications. You can contact them with the link I provided above. Thanks

    Thanks MTaylor and Tback for the pic and infos. It has been awhile. I use to heat treat those blades, grind them, and etched them too. Anyway, I spoked with my colleague about producing those Thurston blades. We are thinking of prototyping a batch with your requirements. Once we have the final version, we can put it into our catalog and make it available for everyone to enjoy. This will be a fun project for us. If anyone is interested, feel free to contact our sales team with your requirements at https://www.industrialbladesandknives.com/contact-us/

    sorry, I didn't mean to scare you off with the custom part. Don't sweat it. The guys want you as a customer , and will work with you. We don't have the exact machine that was use to produce these former blades. You wont get that old line finish anymore. From the looks of it, the only difference will be the finish of the blades. The 2.0 version, you can have the option of a rough or a smooth finish. You can have as many teeth as you want, a slot, or bevels. The blades can be thick or as thin as .008" with a tolerance of +/-.0005" or better all around. This is the version 2.0 improvement from the former blades. The cut will be more precise. Btw, do you still have the old saw blades? Can you please upload some pics for my nostalgic purpose? thanks.

    hi, folks. While browsing through your site, I stumbled upon the topic Thurston closing. I know. I know. Its been a couple of years but, I just found it today. Anyway, I use to work for them. I am the guy that produce those saw blades that you are using for your model ships. They sold their business to Hyde Industrial blades solutions. If you are interested, you guys can read about it here, https://www.industrialbladesandknives.com/articles/hyde-announces-new-acquisition-of-thurston-manufacturing/ I am now with Hyde Industrial blades solutions. Although we don't have the exact machines that were used to produce those former blades, we can still custom produce something better or comparable. If you guys are interested, let me know. Post some pics of what you need. Thanks
