 1878
As the agricultural market base moves further west, the
mower blade and reaper business is sold off in 1878.
1832 Simonds begins manufacturing circular saw blades and
wide bandsaws that same year.
Abel Simonds opens a small scythe-making shop along
the banks of the Nashua River in West Fitchburg –
the company operates under the name J.T. Farwell &
Company.

Our original products include cutting tools used around

the farm.

1851
Abel Simonds buys out
J. T. Farwell and renames the
company A. Simonds & Son. 1885
George Simonds is granted two patents
for his development of inserted tooth
saw teeth (bits & shanks) – the design
is so effective that it is still in use today,
basically unchanged, 125 years later.

1841, #2379, for scythe
blades. This is the first of many Simonds product
innovations.

1868
Having outgrown the initial
premises, in 1868 the company is
incorporated as Simonds Mfg. Co.,
and moves to a new building in
downtown Fitchburg.

1893
Sales into the middle and western parts of the
country are so strong, the company decides to
build a second factory in Chicago, which opens in
1893.

A new Fitchburg plant is built in 1931 - it is the world’s first windowless plant,
featuring straight - line production all on one level.

1965
In 1965, after 133 years
of family ownership,
Simonds is sold to
Wallace Murray – an
industrial conglomerate
based in New York City.

1955
In 1955, Simonds purchases Heller Bros.

with Heller’s Swiss Precision expertise.

The new, larger file company has stood the

test of time, and is still a major player in

 Sinewave ®

How does ®
SineWave Work?
SineWave® technology from
Simonds Saw provides an
aggressive broaching action in
the cut, enhancing cutting ability,
reducing work time
and increasing blade life.
lt incorporates a series of ramps
on the back edge of bandsaw
blades, which allows bandsaw
machines to exert more force
into a cut without increasing
machine pressure.

The rocking motion of SineWave ensures less tooth contact within the work piece, which increases penetration for
faster cutting.

Ramp depth and length can be engineered to a customer’s specific cutting applications, operating parameters and
production requirements to optimize performance across a wide variety of materials.

Special Applications Technology

SineWave® technology provides ramp customization capabilities to optimize the cutting performance of specific
alloy cross sections.

SineWave® can be supplied on all bi-metal and all carbide tipped bandsaw blades from 1” to 3-1/8’’.

SineWave® is supplied only in welded-to-length bands.
