As a custom furniture maker, I need to make moldings in house, and I tend to draft them from scratch. Yeah, I've got a fortune in machines and cutter heads, but the key to it all is the knives that hit the wood. Oella has become a relied upon source for these high quality custom knives, and that allows me to keep saying to my customers: Yes, I can!Fast, friendly service, always a healthy dose of concern for my safety in using these knives. Dave, who I typically work with, is quick to generate detailed proofs before machining and very timely in producing the knives I need. Always executed wonderfully to my exacting standards. It's a real treat in this day and age to be working with top notch American engineers and skilled machinists like you'll find here.Thanks to all at Oella for being such a great partner in helping me continue to grow my business!

I’m definitely not a review writer but definitely had to take time to tell my experience with Dave at Oella Tool.I needed a Shelix head for a Powermatic jointer. Did my research on the 72k available heads for this machine and contacted Dave. It was amazing talking with someone extremely educated on the weird stuff we go thru as woodworkers trying to maintain our machines and explain to third parties. He knew everything to check for and who to call. Within the hour he found what may have been the only shelix head in existence at the time for this machine.I’m writing this review much more for the personal contact and care I received than the head. Yes it was perfect, but it was supposed to be, service is the variable. It was 5 star. He was interested in our operations and called me by name. I was NEVER left wondering what was going on. We in this industry need to support those few who are left to support us. I will be using Dave plenty in the future and I don’t care if it costs more or less, if I can help keep someone like this in our industry who helps us I will.Lastly I’d like to point out on my invoice included in the shipment there was a handwritten note from Dave wishing my son and I good luck. Who does that anymore……..someone we need to support is who:)Thank you Dave

I was having difficulty locating the right sized blade for my 40 year old Powermatic 8-inch Model 60 Jointer. It was not a common size and Dave said, "no problem"... we can just cut one down from a slightly larger size for just a few bucks. Awesome! Oella later provided a copy of the original Owners Manual that suggested a more common sized blade - ended up getting both sizes as the manufacture said both would work. Blades were delivered just a few days later in perfect condition. I will be using Oella for my future woodworking tool needs.

In my long association with Dave Hicks, the owner of Oella Saw and Tool, he and his company has provided my custom architectural millwork company with excellent service in his state of the art shop, including top of the line custom profile knife grinding services as well as shaper and moulder tooling.Oella Saw and Tool is also a stocking dealer for many national and international premium brands of tooling, and has a huge inventory of high value and economy new and previously owned tooling for the woodworking industry. “Prices are reasonable, and the service is often imitated but seldom duplicated”

Shenandoah Restorations is a historical window and doors restoration company so we run into trim and other millwork that requires a special cut knife to duplicate it. Dave at Oella is a tremendous help to us by providing us with precisely cut knives for our machines. Thank you for prompt and precise service!

Oella Saw and Tool crafted a meticulously American made shaper cutter head. Dave and his crew did a outstanding job making the hand rail cutterl I need.
