Stay sharp with HSS Sawblades

8 August 2011 kl 11:59

A new bimetallic blade with HSS teeth has been developed by Hakansson Sawblades. We visited the company and met CEO Olle Bergren for an interview.

Tried and tested technology
Bimetallic blades have been used for metalworking for getting on for 40 years. In other words they are a tried and tested product, and one that is now available for sawing wood. Unlike sawblades with tungsten carbide tips soldered in place, the harder steel is integrated in the band. There is no risk of the teeth coming loose.
“The blades can also be resharpened around five times,” says Lennart Schwartz at the manufacturer Hakansson Sawblades.
A normal tungsten carbide tipped blade can be sharpened twice as many times, but as the HSS blade lasts five times as long, the results is a significantly improved service life. Even though the bands cost a little more, they represent a good deal for anyone who performs a large amount of sawing.

Soil and sand
“The new blades are of most benefit on a log bandsaw, although we also have HSS blades in dimensions suitable for joinery bandsaws,” says Lennart Schwartz.
HSS blades are more resistant to soil and sand in the bark, although they are not impossible to wear out. Sand and other contaminants are abrasive substances that, in time, would wear even a diamond blade.
“For people who saw hard wood types extensively, HSS blades are well worth trying out. You can saw for longer in between sharpening, and this reduces the cost per metre of sawing,” Lennart Schwartz sums up.
The new blades are available in various lengths and widths, both for log bandsaws and joinery bandsaws.

Coach Factory I would say that the experience of shopping at a Coach Factory store is VERY different than shopping at one of their full price boutiques. If someone doesn’t know the difference, maybe it is because they have never shopped at a full price store? At the Factory Store, Coach Factory Online the service is much less personal and the focus is on getting people through the line so they can buy their stuff. At the boutique, it is much more personal and less rushed. There are more sales associates per customer and they take the time to get to know you and what you would like to buy. Coach Outlet It makes sense because you are paying a lot more at the boutique. The boutique has a generous return policy while the Factory store has a more limited one. I want to know what’s up with the Coach Factory Store’s policy of not being allowed to buy more than 5 leather goods or 10 other items at a time. Coach Outlet Online I had this problem trying to purchase bags as christmas gifts for family and friends this year.
