Ideal for cutting carbon steels, alloys, stainless, and aluminum solids and structurals, the Classic Pro Band Saw Blade is available at distributors nationwide.
Now combine the Classic Pro band saw blade with a new online software program LENOX launched to help solve band sawing challenges being encountered in the field. This software makes cutting recommendations for maximum blade performance.
SAWCALC® is available online at www.sawcalc.com with an extensive library of materials that will be regularly updated, providing accurate cutting recommendations for 54 country standards and more than 35,000 materials and 9,000 band saw machines. SAWCALC is free of charge and easily accessible to LENOX sales associates, distributors and end-users.
“Putting SAWCALC online is the easiest way to get it in our users’ hands,” said Daniel Fernandes, an associate brand manager at LENOX. “Its intuitive interface and extensive materials help users maximize efficiency, value and blade performance.”
SAWCALC allows users to quickly gather information to help them choose the correct blade and sawing parameters in order to complete a job successfully. It considers material composition, size and shape, as well as the machine model, to prescribe specific speed, feed, blade and tooth specifications.
SAWCALC is designed to streamline sawing processes, helping determine setup procedures and total cut times. It includes a cut calculation application, calc sheet, band saw guide, FAQ and blade trial offers. www.sawcalc.com
