ALO History
The first ALO setting machine for bowsaw blades was made in 1938
by Anders Lind in Orsa, 15 km north of Mora.

Anders worked with setting at Orsa Sågbladsfabrik AB where they made handsaws and bowsaws. All setting was carried out with a hand tool and the setters could every evening take blades home to set and return them next day for payment.
Anders made this machine in his small home shop and was hereby
able to set many more blades than anybody else.

The President of the company realized after a couple of weeks that something was "wrong"
and Anders had to tell him about his setting machine for bowsaw blades.
In order to keep his employment Anders had to sell the machine
to the company and was paid 4.500 SEK.

The machine was placed at Orsa Sågbladsfabrik and operated well until the factory was closed
down during the seventies. From this time until 1989 the setting machine was sold four times
until we found it in full operation and bought it back for 4.500 SEK.

Anders Lind opened his own small machine making business mainly for saw shops and local factories, that was quite a few at that time.

1974 we started to use the name ALO TEKNIK after the initials from Anders Lind Orsa for ALO.
We are still making setters but now we also offer all other required machines for saw making.
