Three generations of quality. Three generations of craftsmanship. WF Meyers -- designing and patenting saws and blades since 1888
Willard F. Meyers founded the WF Meyers Company in 1888. Since then, over 100 years of American innovation and craftsmanship have led WF Meyers in producing the finest diamond saws and cutting tools in the world.
Inventor of the most revolutionary diamond-cutting technology of the day -- The Splint Diamond Saw Tooth, Meyers was the first to introduce the multi-particle diamond saw tooth to the quarrying industry in Brooklyn, NY in 1928. This special tooth was actually many small fractured particles of diamonds which were set in a predetermined pattern and then held in a steel casting which produced the fastest, smoothest-cutting, stone-sawing blade of the era. It was the forerunner of all subsequent multi-particle diamond tools. These tools became the most popular blades in the Eastern stone yards. Soon after, Meyers expanded operations to the Midwest and the Indiana limestone belt in Bedford, Ind.
Once in operation, Meyers expanded to a wide variety of specialty tooling, gages, fixtures and parts, some of which were used for armaments in both World Wars. Over the years, new types of teeth were constantly refined and perfected for new uses.
In 1930, the Dia-Brasive® streamline tooth was introduced. It incorporated a combination of diamond fragments and powder metal in a stone-saw blade. The ultimate in fast, smooth cutting, the Dia-Brasive® blade was particularly useful on marble due to its ability to produce sharp, chip-free, smooth finishes. The Tennessee marble in the National Art Gallery is an example of the amazing detail of this tooth.
Following World War II, new products such as the uniset tooth grinding heads, Mark II circular blades and gang saw blades were introduced for the stone industry. More recently, WF Meyers has been instrumental in the stone extraction process with our Diamond Belt Saw and in utilizing the Polycrystalline Diamond Tools in quarrying machines.
Today, our blades and saws are known throughout the world for their precision craftsmanship and quality.
