A new clipping and miter saw blade from LEUCO has won over users in the metal working industry. Its properties make it the ideal tool for high-precision cutting applications in, for example, the furniture and electrical industries, for window and facade manufacturers, the automotive industry and other sectors where non-ferrous metals are processed with precision. At Schüco Interior Systems KG, specialists for aluminum machining and processing, it is successfully demonstrating its outstanding qualities.

The product name LEUCO HW TR-F-K describes the most important features of the innovative saw blade: cutting edges made of carbide (HW), trapezoidal shape (TR), flat tooth (F) and convex (K). Decisive for the endurance and precision of the saw blade is the geometry of the carbide cutting edges. One important field of application is the cutting of aluminum profiles, for example at Schüco Interior Systems KG, a subsidiary of the Bielefeld-based building envelope specialist Schüco International KG. As a partner for customers from trade and industry, Schüco Interior Systems KG produces high-quality furnishing systems made of aluminum, such as interior design and shelving systems, table frames, outdoor kitchens and handle bars based on aluminum profiles for the design of innovative home and work environments.

"We are impressed by various properties of the HW TR-F-K, such as its very long service life," explains Matthias Walkenhorst, Team Leader Cutting at the Borgholzhausen site of Schüco Interior Systems KG. Schüco uses the LEUCO tool on a crosscut saw and a miter saw for clipping and miter cuts. Each cuts around 5,000 metal profiles every day. Due to their hardness and endurance, the blades only need to be changed about every two weeks. This means that about 50,000 precision cuts are possible per tool. "We cut all kinds of aluminum profiles with the saw blade, whether panels, handle bars or rails – simply everything that is made of aluminum," says Walkenhorst.

The HW TR-F-K is part of LEUCO's topline range. This product line is the manufacturer's highest quality category with particularly tight tolerances. This is another reason why the new LEUCO precision saw blade is the tool of choice for Matthias Walkenhorst: "For us, Schüco Interior Systems KG, cutting quality has top priority. Our quality requirement is absolute precision, whether visible or not. The saw blade ensures the optimum cut and surface finish quality for us."

Last but not least, the HW TR-F-K also boasts economy. "From the cost-benefit aspect, the tool is very good for us," emphasizes the Schüco team leader. Part of the optimum overall package is the LEUCO service. "The particularly fast delivery of new saw blades and the very good service make our collaboration with our partner LEUCO special all round."
