About Us
It is impossible for the same diamond core drill bit or saw blade to work on every material such as hard rock, asphalt, brick, block, sandstone, soft stone, hard stone, soft concrete, hard concrete, pre-cast concrete, heavy re-bar, etc. It is also impossible for it to work well on a small Horse powered tool and a large horse powered machine. Furthermore what cuts the soft coral aggregate in Hawaii does not cut the granite river rock aggregate in the West. It just doesn’t work that way. We are your consultant to help you determine the correct tool and bond hardness for you. We are one of the very few, diamond tool firms that can easily offer you the matrix bond choice for your specific area and project situation. THAT IS WHAT WE DO and that is why we are here. Anyone can sell cheap blades on E-bay, but I challenge you to find one that can offer any resources or support besides just cheap blades.
Hello, I am Stan Gunn, President of Sawcutting Specialties, Inc. and GotBlade.com. I would like to share my background with you to acquaint you with our company and service. I have been directly or indirectly in the diamond tool business since 1973. Initially, I worked for two years at E.J. Longyear Company, the largest mining and soils exploration and equipment manufacturer at that time. I became familiar with the process of diamond drilling, core retrieval and diamond saw cutting. From there I moved to the concrete cutting industry, started on the break and removal crew, with dump trucks, Bobcats and pneumatic paving breakers. By 1977 I was operating a combination Wall and Hand Saw/Core Drill/Slab Saw truck. In those days, power was provided by 185 to 250 CFM air compressors. How things have changed. I did well in the cutting industry. 1989, the twilight of my cutting career, was spent as an Owner/Manager of four branch offices, and I was also very involved in projects. I estimated and Project Managed numerous large jobs, many in excess of a Half Million Dollars. My specialty was Highway/Runway “saw & seal” type, and other Industrial Work such as modifications to Dams, Nuclear Power Plants, Mines, Military and Agricultural Sites. This work was primarily thick wall and opening cutting with the use of large diameter wall saw blades and Wire Saws. I also have drilled many large diameter and deep holes, some penetrating reservoir pools.
At the end of 1996, I established Sawcutting Specialties, Inc. in a spare bedroom and the garage of my home. I had a small inventory of diamond blades and called on and made deliveries to customers. Besides sales, I also rebuilt and re-segmented core bits. Since then we have grown immensely, relocated three times and now operate in Garden City, Idaho from a 4,000 square foot facility. We provide diamond and related products from nearly fifty vendors. We also warrant and repair tools and equipment, and specialize in re-tipping of diamond bits and blades. We sell locally to walk in customers, maintain and deliver to commercial accounts, and sell across the nation. We have customers from Maine to Hawaii. We have sold to the Georgia State Transportation Dept. and to the Alaska Dept of Geological Services. We ship daily by UPS, U S Postal Service and motor carrier.
Within this thirty-six year run, I have purchased millions of dollars worth of diamonds and equipment, I have made many friends and contacts, and have acquired numerous dealerships and deep discounts. In summary, after collecting everything I have gained, I have come up with the following list. PRODUCTS, INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE, CHOICE, DISCOUNTS. That is our business, that is what we sell and that is what we offer you.
Thank you for visiting,
Stan Gunn
