Phil VanArsdale is our in-house hammer and tensioner. Phil has over 30 years experience hammering and tensioning saw blades for Riverside Tool Corp. Below is a more in-depth look at our hammer and tensioning service.

	Checking for run-out and tension of each blade is the first step in the process
Next, Phil runs a straight edge across the blade's body checking for inconsistencies on the plate of the blade.
	The hammering process is used to eliminate inconsistencies that are found on the blade.
The tensioning process adds tension (stiffness) and assists in straightening the plate of the saw blade.
