About Us
As leading UK bandsaw blade manufacturers, EPS Services & Tooling Ltd has proudly produced blades in Somerset for over 35 years. With a reputation for quality and reliability, we supply and service blades for some of the busiest sawmills across the UK, building lasting partnerships with businesses that rely on precision cutting and consistent performance. As trusted UK bandsaw blade manufacturers, we understand the importance of both craftsmanship and innovation.
Our roots are embedded in traditional craftsmanship, but we haven’t stood still. With over 100 years of combined expertise across our four UK sites, we pride ourselves on having the best-trained technicians in the industry. Our team is armed with the knowledge, experience, and technology needed to tackle sharpening and servicing needs across a wide range of cutting tools and sawing applications for UK bandsaw blade manufacturers.
While our main focus is the manufacture and servicing of wide bandsaw blades tailored for the timber processing industry, our expertise goes beyond. We also handle circular saws, narrow bandsaws, and a range of other timber processing tools. Whether you need supply, sharpening, or re-tipping services, our technicians are ready to support your operation with precision and speed. EPS is one of the few UK bandsaw blade manufacturers offering such a broad service.
EPS operates from service centres in Wiveliscombe (Somerset), Kirkaldy (Fife), Chelmsford (Essex), and Gerrymet (West Midlands). Together, these centres provide over 32,000 square feet of workspace, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to meet the evolving needs of modern timber processors. From small joineries to large timber mills, we offer tailored services that ensure your cutting tools perform at their best, every time. This national footprint supports our leadership among UK bandsaw blade manufacturers.
We understand the critical role that planer knives play in timber processing, which is why we maintain a vast stock of high-speed steel (HSS) and tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) knives. These are suitable for a broad range of modern machinery and processing requirements. Our experienced sales team is always on hand to guide you in choosing the most appropriate tooling for your applications. And with most products readily available from stock, we offer convenient next-day delivery and collection options to keep your operations running smoothly.

High-Quality Bandsaw Blades Engineered in the UK
When it comes to performance, a quality bandsaw blade must be consistent, fatigue-resistant, and possess excellent elasticity. These are essential for effective and reliable timber processing. Achieving this standard requires premium-grade steel. After extensive testing and quality checks, we proudly recommend Bohler Uddeholm’s BOHLERSTRIP bandsaw steel as our material of choice—an option preferred by top UK bandsaw blade manufacturers.
Specifically engineered for high-performance bandsaw blades, BOHLERSTRIP is available in multiple sizes and specifications to match your precise requirements. It is offered in BS44, with a tensile strength of 1450 N/mm², and BS49, boasting 1670 N/mm². The added nickel content enhances durability, particularly for wide bandsaw coils of 1.2mm thickness or greater. With this material, you get the robust, consistent performance needed for extended processing runs and demanding timber workloads.
At EPS Services & Tooling Ltd, we are not just blade manufacturers—we are partners in your production success, offering craftsmanship, expertise, and a steadfast commitment to quality. If you’re looking for dependable UK bandsaw blade manufacturers, look no further.
