Here is some interesting news
Just recently I have read that here in the UK a lot of the Miser operators have changed over to tipped bands, I found a company locally who manufacture their own tipped, they also have an outlet in New Hamshire USA, and 85% of their UK stock goes to the USA.
After speaking to a few Miser users, I tried one and the results are very promising, I found that the tipped bands lasted many times longer than a conventional band before it needed sharpening.
The down time and sharpening of a tipped band is also cheaper to have done at about half the cost of the old 2" bands I was using, the tipped bands are a little more expensive, but you save lots in the long run, as they can last up to forty times longer than any traditional set band.
Tipped bands have a negative rake tooth which is stronger and more rigid than a positive rake, they handled dirt in the timber and need no setting, now I only need three bands for a days hard work, instead of a dozen.
Are there any other band mill users using tipped bands ?
