The cutting tips on Bowlsaver blades are made from Stellite®, a cobalt-based alloy renowned for its durability and shock resistance. Each tip is brazed onto the steel blade
and, when eventually worn down, can be replaced by brazing — a task that can be carried out by a competent gas welder or saw blade doctor.
Each replacement Stellite Tip comes with:
Instruction sheet
for brazing guidance
Deposit of silver solder
for brazing included
Why Stellite?
Shock resistant
– Designed to withstand the impacts of knots, stones, and defects commonly found in wood.
Superior finish
– Produces an excellent finish off the tool, reducing the need for sanding.
Proven material
– Widely used in sawmill bandsaws, Stellite is trusted for its ability to handle both hard and soft woods with long-lasting performance.
Hollow grind capable
– The cutter can be sharpened with a hollow grind for precise edges.
Product Features
Supplied sharpened with a straight front edge, easily honed with a diamond hone.
A negative rake
can be added on the front top edge for cutting hardwoods.
The design crushes wood fibres as it cuts, preventing chip impact and ensuring smoother coring.
Welded design – Stellite is too hard to machine for screw holes, but this same density ensures its long operational life and resilience.
⚠️ Note:
Each Bowlsaver knife includes a Stellite cutter as standard. These replacement tips are available for when cutters require renewal.
