The power tool company, Lenox, has launched its latest product the LENOX MAX CT band saw that will cater to the growing aerospace market.
MAX CT has an advanced blade design, innovative tooth geometry and next generation welding technology making it suitable to cut hard metals such as nickel-based alloys, stainless steel, tool steels and titanium alloys. This results in longer blade life, and faster, straighter cuts. The high rake angles increase the shear plane angle, reducing cutting forces and aiding in tooth penetration. The blade’s next generation welding technology prevents premature tooth loss, providing a stronger bond between the carbide tip and the backing steel, making for longer blade life and faster cuts.
“From our research, LENOX learned that the most important factors of blade quality for users are longer blade life, increased cutting speed and superior part finish. In response, LENOX created MAX CT to answer the needs of the expanding aerospace market segment and deliver precision cutting on traditionally hard to cut materials,” stated Daniel Fernandes, product manager at Lenox.
