LEUCO is now offering diamond-tipped panel sizing saw blades with a specialist topcoat surface layer. This guarantees vastly longer edge lives. This is of interest to everyone who works with blank, coated or fiber-based wooden panels. Jochen SCHMÜSER in Hollenstedt finds this topcoat surface layer superb, even with HPL material.
“We have been using these saw blades for the last 3 years. They last 50 percent longer than other comparable diamond-tipped saw blades. They also deliver remarkably good cut quality, as Klaus Müller has found, the Production Manager at Jochen SCHMÜSER. The company saws HPL material on three horizontal panel sizing sawing machines to precise dimensions for the wholesale trade to name just one example. Areas of application for these weather-resistant cut-to-size sections include facade claddings, balcony privacy panels or table tops.
Sawing HPL material is a particularly challenging application. The benefits of topcoat also help people who process other materials such as laminated or fiberboard panels. LEUCO has established a family of coated saw blade products that covers all of these areas.
Many Benifits
All users can benefit from the many advantages of diamond-tipped and coated blades. These benefits include extremely long service lives, finished cut quality and quiet operation. A topcoat surface layer on the diamond substantially extends what are already long service lives and improves performance per linear meter by a further 50 percent.
Saw cuts with DP topcoat blades are clean and are not corrugated. The blade cuts remarkably smoothly and the user benefits from greater cutting power and cut quality. These benefits are retained throughout the entire life cycle of the saw blade.
No Adhesive Bonding with HPL
Anyone who saws HPL material has yet another advantage: The topcoat surface layer prevents adhesive bonding from occurring. When sawing with other blades, the resin in the HPL panels can melt, bonding adhesively to the saw blade. This results in frequent tool changes. Also, the saw blade needs to sent away for cleaning or for resharpening. Specialist business Jochen SCHMÜSER has found a solution to this problem. “Previously, we used carbide and diamond-tipped saw blades. There, we encountered adhesive bonding that caused chipping. However, we need very good quality. We therefore went looking for something better. With these topcoat blades, we have precisely what we need”, explains Klaus Müller.
Pleasingly quiet in operation
All of these saw blades possess another advantage: They are pleasingly quiet. This is achieved by laser ornaments in the blades, arranged in a special vibration-damping sequence. In addition, these ornaments receive a filling that also damps vibrations in the core blade. Jochen SCHMÜSER uses saw blades with a diameter of 350 mm. “That is now significantly quieter than before”, states Klaus Müller. The machine operator who tends the machine on a daily basis also benefits from this. SCHMÜSER really appreciates these many advantages and is so convinced that the company now only uses DP topcoat blades for its HPL saw cuts.
