LONGER BLADE LIFE LESS WASTE WHEN CUTTING CAST IRON

The patent-pending Diamond blade design from Lenox produces a straight, clean cut for joining cast iron pipe and doubles blade life when cutting cast iron so the user can flip the blade and continue working, rather than having to change blades.

Lenox (East Longmeadow, MA), a leading manufacturer of premium power tool accessories, hand tools, torches, solder and band saw blades, recently introduced the Diamond double-tang reciprocating saw blade that was specially redesigned for longer blade life and less waste when cutting through cast iron.

The newly designed blade lasts twice as long as the existing Diamond reciprocating saw blades. The double-tang design provides high performance with less wasted cutting edge by using the portion of the brazed diamond grit edge that typically goes unused when cutting cast iron pipe. The dramatic performance of the blade is made possible by the use of industrial diamonds brazed to a narrow blade edge. The new design increases the speed of material removal on a cutting application that is notorious for its resistance to conventional separation methods.

?Our end users noted a remarkable difference when using the Diamond reciprocating saw blade for cutting cast iron, but they also noticed that because of the shape of the cutting surface of cast iron pipe, only a portion of the blade?s Diamond grit was being used,? stated Matt Savarino, product manager, Lenox. ?The new double-tang design allows you to flip the blade at the point where you would typically throw out the blade, allowing you to continue work without interruption. This double-tang reciprocating blade not only cuts through cast iron quicker than any other blade, its strength produces a straight, clean cut that is much better for joining new cast iron pipe together."

Ideal for cutting cast iron, the new double-tang blade is also able to cut other tough materials, including fiberglass and ceramic tile, clay pipe, stone, brick, marble, plaster, cement siding board and laminate flooring. This double-tang reciprocating blade is available at plumbing, electrical and construction distributors nationwide.
