The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Forrest Saw Blades Serious Woodworkers Know and Trust the Forrest Name Forrest Manufacturing Company is one company where the virtues of quality and service are still important. We're proud of the reputation for excellence we've earned since our company was founded over fifty-five years ago. For more than three generations, craftsmen have appreciated our superior products and customer-friendly way of doing business. They've come to rely on Forrest blades for superior handling and performance. They also enjoy dealing with a service department that really does put the customer first. Family Owned In this age of impersonal corporations, we're pleased to say that Forrest Manufacturing is still family owned and operated. Because our name is on the products we sell, we insist that every blade and dado be made in the U.S. by skilled workers who share our commitment to quality. Equally important, we stand behind what we sell with a 30-day, full-refund guarantee. The Story Behind Our Success Here at Forrest, we take the extra steps during the manufacturing process to make certain our blades meet or exceed your expectations. For example, our blades are precision engineered using a unique, corrosion-resistant C-4 micrograin carbide. This type of carbide, the hardest available anywhere, dramatically reduces the brittleness often associated with C-4. So you get blades that are 40% stronger and last up to 300% longer between sharpenings. Forrest also uses a proprietary process to create the finest cutting edges in the world. We select grinding equipment that utilizes the best technology available, and we combine that with the time-tested method of straightening our plates by hand. Our specially-made diamond grit grinding wheels produce an exceptional grind and the finest cutting edges possible. Each tooth bears exactly the same chip load as the others, giving you a smooth, solid, quality cut without chattering. Splintering, scratching, and tearouts are either eliminated altogether or reduced significantly. Perimeter concentricity, plate flatness, and side runout are held to such tight tolerances??an astonishing /- .001 runout??that perfection is ensured for every type of cut??whether crosscuts, rip cuts, or miters. And our blades cut quietly??as quietly as other blades with extra slots that compromise blade strength. You'll welcome the reduced noise in your shop once you're using your new Forrest blade! |
