Tool life & economic efficiency
How long does the SuperSilent last? Which tool life can be expected?
The SuperSilent is a diamond-tipped tool. Of all the cutting materials applied in wood-processing industry, diamond is
the one with the lowest wear and tear. The tool life is thus many times longer than that of comparable carbide-tipped
tools. The price-performance-ratio of diamond is very cost-efficient. With a new blade 5,000 meters’ tool life is possible
in double-coated MDF. After re-sharpening the tool life can almost be doubled, because 4,000 additional meters will
then be possible. With the new version of SuperSilent 3 a second re-sharpening cycle is possible, thus increasing the
tool life to a total of 13,000 meters.
Is it possible to re-sharpen the SuperSilent?
The SuperSilent version 2 can be re-sharpened once, whereas version 3 can be re-sharpened twice. Both the main
blade and the scorer can be re-sharpened, provided that the teeth are not damaged and the degree of wear does
permit re-grinding. The scorer can potentially even be re-sharpened several times.

How do I know which version of the SuperSilent I have?
This can easily be identified by means of the „2“ or „3“ marked behind the SuperSilent - logo on the tool and the diffe-
rent kerf and material number. The scorer and the SuperSilent for vertical panel sizing both do not have any figure for
identification, but they can nevertheless be re-sharpened.

How much does the re-sharpening cost?
The main blades Ø 300 and 303 both have 43 teeth, re-sharpening costs € 86.00. With the main blade Ø 350
re-sharpening costs are € 134.00, because of the bigger kerf and higher number of teeth. For the scorer it costs 3.00 €
net per tooth. You thus get almost the performance of a brand new tool at a very moderate price. All prices plus VAT.

Where can the re-sharpening be done?
In order to be able to make unlimited use of the advantages of the MicroGeo -geometry even after re-sharpening,
®
we recommend to have it done directly at AKE. We will check your tool carefully for damages as well as tension and
straighten it expertly. Moreover, it will be cleaned thoroughly.
Is its application worthwhile for me?
This saw blade is characterized by its versatility. All your hollow teeth, flat teeth, triple-chip/flat teeth and ATB teeth
blades can, as a rule, be replaced without any problems even with different numbers of teeth. The SuperSilent is
suitable for replacing several other saw blades. Moreover you save the time required for frequent tool replacements.
The investment is therefore always worthwhile. The costs per cut are much lower than with conventional saw blades.

What can I do, if a diamond tip has to be replaced on the SuperSilent?
If a diamond tip broke off or had been damaged severely it can be replaced by us. The costs for such a tip replace-
ment are EUR 19.00 per tip with the main blade. Parallel to the tooth replacement the SuperSilent will have to be
re-sharpened. Only then will the optimal cutting quality be achieved. For the costs for re-sharpening please refer to
„Which are the costs for re-sharpening?“. All prices are plus VAT.
