Finally received saw blades from Malco after a long wait. After thanking them I received this email.

 

"Dave ,You’re welcome. Martindale deserves the credit on this one.

On future quotes contact Bill Pavlik or Mike Jensen at Martindale Electric for pricing and delivery.

      Thanks, Greg"

I ordered thru Malco but it seems Malco filled the order thru Martindale. Greg, at Malco, supplied the two contact names at Martindale to be used for future orders.

Malco had a 3 or 4 blade minimum. Not sure if that will hold true at Martindale.

Curious about this.

 

Did you order via the Malco web site?

 

Home - Malco Saw Company

 

How did Martindale enter the picture?

I did order thru Malco, but Malco filled the order thru Martindale. Greg at Malco supplied the 2 names at Martindale for future orders.

Martindale acquired Malco a few months back.  As a Malco customer I got notification.  Malco is becoming 'part of the team' so Greg and company are still players.  Since it will take awhile to incorporate Malco stock into their catalogue, I was told to continue to order thru Malco.

I was not aware of this!  Thanks for the heads-up!  I placed my first order with Malco around the first of the year for my (at-the-time) newly acquired Byrnes saw.  Excellent saw blades, although I was pretty much past any serious cutting stages on my previous build (and, frankly, I, too, was disappointed in the shipping delays, totally UPS fault, though, not Malco's).  Looking forward to using the Byrnes and blades more as I begin my Constitution.  Again, thanks for the info! 👍
