The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe 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! |
