MaxFLEX is one of the Wood-Mizer brands of band saw blades. Wood-Mizer has designed this cloth with the aim of making a durable, universal cloth with increased flexibility and extended life. Wood-Mizer specialists have carefully selected special alloys from European steel manufacturers to give a longer blade life and hardened each tooth tip through an induction process, resulting in a tough blade with maximum cutting performance. Each tooth is precisely honed by computer-controlled equipment, and sharpening of the blade teeth is done using super abrasive CBN technology.
During tests in the factory laboratory, these saw blades demonstrated significantly better resistance to bending stress than other designs. When the time came for further field testing, MaxFLEX saw blades were made available to Wood-Mizer ribbon saws worldwide.
The Czech company, Drevodiskont, processes pine and spruce timber with an LT20 hydraulic saw, followed by an EG300 circular edger. This company had been using DoubleHARD saw blades, but when MaxFLEX blades were launched in 2014, they agreed to try them. Drevodiskont's production manager, Radek Tausch, had the new blades tested and, after the necessary measurements, found that using MaxFLEX blades they could cut faster. "The sawing speed has increased, while the quality of the plank remains high, there are no 'wavelike' planks. So we cut 1 cubic meter more wood every day," says Radek.
The Bulgarian company, Steel MS, operates two Wood-Mizer LT20 hydraulic Wood-Mizer LT20 saws for the manufacture of structural elements from local softwood species for builders and hardwood lumber for furniture manufacturers. In 2015, they received MaxFLEX saw blades for testing. "With this blade, the cutting speed is higher," confirmed Stanislav Dimitrov Penev, co-owner of the company. "We cut about 8 cubic meters in 10 hours on each LT20 saw."
In this way, MaxFLEX saw blades create a competitive advantage for sawmill operators by increasing productivity through high cutting speeds. This has been fully appreciated by companies for whom high productivity and high quality are equally important essential criteria, mainly when producing timber for export. There are many of these saws in Romania, and customer choice is clearly in favour of the MaxFLEX saw blades. In the years following the launch of the MaxFLEX model, it became the most popular Wood-Mizer saw blade in Romania.
All MaxFLEX blades have a hook angle of 10° (10/30 tooth profile) and tooth spacing of 22.225 mm. These sails are available in thicknesses of 1.07 mm or 1.14 mm and widths of 32 mm, 35 mm or 38 mm. MaxFLEX blades are welded to customizable lengths and delivered ready to use
