Wells (Bill) moved to Three Rivers, Michigan in 1925 and formed Wells Manufacturing, a manufacturer of vertical meat cutting saws. In 1928, Wells Manufacturing developed the horizontal metal cutting bandsaw branded the Wells Model #4. He later introduced the Wells Model #8, which is still in production today, known as the Wellsaw Model #1016. Bill Wells sold his interest in Wells Manufacturing (now recognized as Wellsaw) and in 1948 formed W.F. Wells & Sons. The first saw model, M-9, was produced in 1949 and the company continued to produce, expand and refine their product line for the next 42 years.
