Circular sawblades
specialist
STARK SpA leads an industrial group specialising in HSS and TCT
circular sawblades for a full range of metal cutting applications. STARK
headquarters and production facilities are located in Trivignano
Udinese, Italy although the group is also present worldwide: STARK
GmbH has been present in Germany since 1976 and in 1999,
following corporate growth, STARK Do Brasil Ltd was founded in São
Paulo and soon after, Frund STARK SA – Argentina.
In 2005 STARK SpA Representative office was established
in Guangzhou (China) and in 2006 STARK India Toolings (P)
Ltd in Mumbai. With more than 40 years of experience, STARK
has achieved a leading position thanks to its organisation and
professional approach as well as the quality of its products.
The whole production process is characterised by three specific
sectors: woodworking tools, saw blades for metal cutting and
circular knives for the paper, corrugated and plastic industry. In
the last years STARK’s target has been the development of high
performance circular sawblades for cutting any kind of material
with special focus on the ferrous ones in tube applications.
With its own three PVD coating furnaces STARK is able to grant
a constant production quality providing at the same time the most
suitable solution according to different customer needs.
On the other side, the mutual cooperation with R&D chemical
science and technology department of University of Udine and
Laboratory of Metallurgy, surface technology and advanced materials
of Friuli Innovazione gives STARK the chance of developing and
investigating the PVD process with the most advanced equipment on
the market. The Millennium coating is an example of this successful
relationship: the result is a high performance coating, able to satisfy
the most critical end-user requirements.

Double mitre saws and
special purpose saws
NEU, Germany, has released details of its new double mitre saws
and multi-head saws, which have been produced under the EKAL
brand.
The saw features universal adjustment possibilities and a rafter
trimmer with some models, which the company claims makes the
saws particularly suitable for manufacturers that require a high
degree of flexibility.
The sawing heads are highly adjustable and can be used for any
standard designs as well as more complicated cutting. The main
advantage is that one bench with 4,000mm of length is connected
with a second bench of 2,500mm in an ‘L’ shape. This means that bent
tubes can be also worked on efficiently with the sawing blade easily
adjustable to work on both benches or just one bench.
Neu has also developed cutting lines with a loader-magazine and
automatic mitre adjustment and high-speed cutting lines for tubes.
