Technical understanding instead of standard solutions

Every application places its own demands on tool geometry, cutting data and tool life. That is why we rely on technical assessment, advice and tailored solutions. What matters to us is not the price of an individual tool, but what it delivers for you over its entire service life.

Most of our customers are industrial companies – for them we manufacture and sharpen circular saw blades for aluminium, copper and brass. Industry solutions

Quality assurance

Our measuring equipment is calibrated and we monitor our production continuously – and would rather stop it than deliver a tool that is not flawless. On request, we inspect anything from individual teeth to complete batches, for example by brazed-joint and ground-finish inspection.

If an existing blade is not performing as you would like, we examine damage, dulling and cutting-edge geometries and propose an economical solution.
