Precision in sawblade
re-manufacturing
DYNASHAPE, a UK sawblade servicing
and manufacturing specialist, has
invested around £500,000 in the latest
robotic CNC sawblade production
technologies.
The significant outlay adds five
new CNC machines to Dynashape’s
capabilities and further enhances the
levels of service that the business is able
to offer to its growing customer base.
The new machinery will be located in
the company’s new £300,000 Servicing
Centre of Excellence in Stourbridge, UK.
“With more than 50 years of
expertise behind us, Dynashape is
already recognised across the UK
for its uncompromising sawblade
servicing and refurbishing capabilities,”
commented operations director Chris
Parkes. “This is because rather than
‘sharpen’ blunt blades, our approach
is to ‘re-manufacture’ them using
advanced CNC machinery – the same
machinery as is used by leading
sawblade manufacturers globally. As
a result, our customers benefit from
blades that, time after time, can be re-
manufactured to perform as precisely
and as efficiently as they did when new
– and all for significantly less than the
cost of purchasing new blades.”
As well as providing sawblades that
meet ‘as new’ tolerances, the company’s
use of advanced CNC machining
technologies and CAD packages
allows it to enhance new blades
that improve on OEM-supplied
products.
Dynashape can also create
bespoke cutting solutions and
tooth profiles for cutting all types
of material. An example of this is
its ability to manufacture ‘special
plastics’ blades with a side-grind
tooth design for the creation of an
aesthetically pleasing ‘diamond-
polished’ finish when cutting
acrylics.
“Accuracy, longevity and
repeatability are essential to all our
customers, regardless of whether
they are manufacturing fine
furniture or are cutting cardboard,
ferrous or non-ferrous metals,
laminates or composites,” added Mr
Parkes. “By investing in the latest four-,
five- and six-axis high precision CNC
sawblade production technologies from
leading manufacturers including Loroch
GmbH, Vollmer and Walter, we offer
our customers the most comprehensive
one-stop solution for manufacturing
and re-manufacturing TCT and SHSS
sawblades, as well as PCD tooling.”
The CNC sawblade re-manufacturing
and tooling technologies offered by
Dynashape include precision tungsten
carbide tipped (TCT) sawblade
servicing and manufacturing; solid high
speed steel (SHSS) sawblade servicing
and manufacturing; and standard and
custom-made polycrystalline diamond
(PCD) tooling.
Dynashape is part of the Addison
Group, a UK-based organisation that
has been involved with metal sawing
technology since 1956.
