EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. — LENOX, a name synonymous with technologically
advanced band saw blades and fluids, introduces the new Q Series
Performance Solution Band Saw Blade that provides long blade life and
smooth cutting blade after blade. “Q” is the proprietary process
developed by LENOX that greatly improves the performance and consistency
of the band saw blade. The newly developed process produces blades that
can provide a smooth and quiet cut and ultimately provide longer blade
life.
The Lenox Q Performance Solution series, which includes the QXP and QGT
blades, has optimized fatigue characteristics and precision cutting
edges. The proprietary backing steel preparation and precision-crafted
cutting edge create resistance to breaking and in-turn, long blade life.
“The Q Performance Solution is designed to deliver the lowest cost per
cut in production sawing applications,” said Gerry Overstreet, product
manager, LENOX. “Blade after blade, the QXP and QGT will provide
increased productivity and decreased tooling costs.”
The QXP series is for use on solids of mild to moderate machinability
such as aluminum, carbon steel, alloy, steel, stainless steel and
bearing steels. The deep gullet design improves chip carrying capacity
enhancing the blade's ability to cut at increased rates, while the
extreme positive rake tooth form penetrates with less feed force. The
QGT is developed for use on solids of moderate to difficult
machinability like aerospace alloys, titanium alloys, tool steels and
nickel-based alloys. The special set and tooth profile provides optimum
chip formation in work hardening materials. The modified gullet design
creates maximum beam strength.
The family of LENOX Q Performance Solution series band saw blades is now
available in a variety of sizes from LENOX distributors nationwide.
