Blade Runner
By combining new multi-purpose saw blade technology with online software recommendations for band saw
operations, shops are getting longer life, versatility and value in their production cutting and running away from the competition.
LENOX® (East Longmeadow, MA), a name synonymous with technologically advanced band saw blades and sawing fluids, announces the introduction of the new Classic Pro Band Saw Blade designed for durability when cutting a wide range of metals from low carbon steels to higher strength alloys.
The Classic Pro bi-metal band saw blade features a proprietary backing steel preparation to increase fatigue life and minimize band breakage. The M42 high-speed steel edge provides superior heat-and wear-resistance when cutting a variety of metals.
The advanced design enables production cutting of solid and structural steels and delivers consistent performance. Classic Pro benefits from a unique tooth geometry and set pattern that improves tooth penetration on saws with limited feed force and minimizes noise and vibration.
“Many of our customers require a multipurpose blade that has the ability to cut an array of metals. They may need to cut 2 in rounds of carbon steel in the morning and then shift to cutting 3 in squares of an alloy steel in the afternoon. When the sawing operation requires the flexibility to cut different sizes, shapes, and types of metal, the Classic Pro band saw blade provides performance and value,” stated Matthew Lacroix, a senior product manager at the Band Saw Division. “Classic Pro is versatile enough to cut a range of metals, while providing consistent performance cut after cut. Customers that need general purpose blades to perform at a high level will appreciate the lower cost per cut the blade provides. ”
