distributor
TRU-CUT Saw, Inc has become an authorised bandsaw
blade welding distributor for Simonds International.
The company now offers a full line of welded-to-length
Simonds bandsaw blades, and can supply themwith a variety
of PVD coatings: TiN for general-purpose cutting; TiCN for
stainless steel; AlTiN for alloy steels; and VitaNano™ for
titanium and exotic metals.
With in-house PVD coating capabilities, Tru-Cut can offer
coating on both carbide tipped and bi-metal bandsaws. One
area of focus will be combining the coating process with
the Simonds SineWave
®
technology. SineWave bandsaws
provide an aggressive broaching action in the cut. This
‘rocking’ action speeds cutting time and improves blade
life compared with conventional bandsaws, while reducing
strain on the machine.
It is claimed that the technology in many cases offers
twice the cutting tool life compared with conventional
blades, and it can be used on almost any bandsaw machine.
Coupled with Tru-Cut’s PVD coatings, the bandsaws can
offer performance and cost savings across a wide variety
of cutting applications. Tru-Cut will offer Simonds blades in
welded-to-length bands in widths from 1" to 3

David Otter, president of Tru-Cut Saw, said, “We’ve been
known primarily for our circular metal cutting saw blades
and PVD coating services. Now, as a Simonds authorised
welding distributor, we can provide our customers with
PVD coated bandsaws that deliver the same high level of
production and cost savings as our circular blades.”

cutting applications, from simple hand cut-off machines
to high production flying cut-off machines. Blades are
designed for all sawing applications in ferrous and non-
ferrous materials, and sizes range from 200mm to over 3m.
The company also sells the Tru-Cut 16" (400mm) Dry Cut
Metal Saw, designed for cutting tubular, solid, angled and
other shapes.
