Editor’s Comments:

As I write this it is 2010 and this book is thirty-three years old.   It is still an extremely good book and is much better, in many ways than anything else available. 

The copy I had to work with is a copy of a copy and so on.  I have used as much original material as possible.  I think the saw blade pictures are sufficient especially since the accompanying drawings are excellent.    

I have never had the pleasure of meeting Lowell Freeborn but several things have become clear in this project.  He has a true gift for explaining very complicated matters in a very simple and clear manner. 

Much of this book is dated.  The metric / inch conversion tables use the old conversion figure and many of the carbide companies referenced are long gone.  I have included only the chapters that are still relevant.  If you wish I will be happy to email you a complete copy as a pdf upon request.  

Sincerely,
