slivers mill home page
Slivers Mill, a Forrest Saw Blades distributor, aims to be the one-stop shop for all of your saw blade needs. WE ARE THE LARGEST STOCKING DISTRIBUTOR OF FORREST SAW BLADES AND WILL SHIP MOST ITEMS WITHIN 24 HOURS. We offer virtually all Forrest blades. Why? Because the quality and craftsmanship of Forrest Saw Blades are second to none.
Forrest blades offer a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible.
Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and restraightened multiple times throughout the process.
Think of a Forest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. It’s been proven time and again. You’ll save money in the long run by using high quality Forrest saw blades.

I use these all the time…
WB Halper TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on February 17, 2015
This is perfect when a square block of steel is needed. I use them as calibration standards for my woodworking tools. They’re not good enough for high precision metal work, but they’re perfect to calibrate the scale on my miter saw fence…when I stack two blocks between the saw blade and the stop and the scale is adjusted to 6”, I know that the rest of the scale is also dead on. I’m also using four of these, bolted to the saw bed, to hold the miter saw fence exactly vertical and at right angles to the blade path. (BTW, if you look at the picture, the fence pieces are normally much closer together…barely enough to clear the saw blade.)
Want to see if your cheap calipers are reading right? Grab one of these and measure it. At 0.0002” accuracy, they’re far more accurate than any inexpensive measuring tool.
These are cheap and they work. Keep them corrosion free, don’t drop them and they’ll last forever.
Excellent vallue, great functionality
By W. R. Davis on October 7, 2009
I have a Lee Valley router system that uses a steel top and fence with no calibrated scales or adjustments. I finally understood that this fence was designed more from a machinist’s rather than woodworker’s point of view. I purchased some small brass setup blocks and got immediate benefit in repeatable, quick setups. I realized that the larger 1-2-3 blocks should add even more flexibility and I discovered this low cost set of blocks. As soon as I used them, I understood their value. They are well made and for a home user, I see no reason to even consider a more expensive set. I am going to buy one or two sets more. Actually this will make great low cost gifts for my family to give me for Christmas. I’ve used these for more than the router table. They work well on the workbench, the table saw, and the drill press.

$33 at amazon prime Wolfcraft 4525404 Drill Guide Attachment for 1/4-Inch or 3/8-Inch Drills
great for what it is By Lungchin on Apr 17, 2015
look - this is not a drill press - and its 30+ bucks -
and yes - tolerances of the slides are not exactly super tight - and the bushing of the chuck probably will wear out if used a lot - and handle of mine broke off when i tried to shift it a bit while i had it positioned with a middli torqued clamp
BUT - i had to drill 5/8 holes for bolting 4x4s together in place for a play structure - there is NO way this would have worked out freehand - this things was great - clamp it in place - drill … and holes aligned great, were level - and bolt fit through perfectly
make sure you add a few drops of lubricant on bushing - teflon bike chain lube or similar works perfectly

C. Nelson review
INSTALLATION TIP: This is the fourth type of these clips I have used and these are BY FAR the best I have used. However, the only way they finally worked was when I installed them I folded the tarp and put small piece of wooden dowel inside the fold and put the clip over the fold and then tightened.
I used to have to re-secure my tarp every few weeks but since I got these and installed them with the wooden dowels I have not had to touch them and it’s been a couple of months.
