SuperSilent
FAQ

What can I do, if the cutting quality gradually decreases?
The reduced cutting quality of the tool does not necessarily mean, that the tool cannot be used any more. Once the
maximum possible number of re-sharpening cycles will have been done we recommend to apply this tool then for
cutting abrasive materials – e.g. laminate.

What happens, if stone or other foreign matter is being cut?
Stone and foreign matter is detrimental to any tool – including the SuperSilent. This may lead to the total failure of
the tool.

Is it possible to process non-ferrous metal or steel with the SuperSilent?
No, non-ferrous metal (such as aluminium, copper and brass) and steel cannot be cut. However, AKE does,
of course, offer high-quality circular saw blades for processing non-ferrous metal and steel, too.

For which fields of application is the SuperSilent „Select“ (= Version 2) recommended
and what is the SuperSilent „Universal“ (= Version 3) ideal for?
The SuperSilent „Select“ with a kerf of 2,0 mm is particularly recommended, if you want to make full use of the advan-
tages of the SuperSilent technology in terms of planing cut and material utilisation. When applying the „Select“ special
care must be attributed to the work piece guidance and the machine should be adjusted precisely.
With the SuperSilent „Universal“ the applied kerf is 2,4 mm. It is therefore especially suitable for processing large pa-
nels and high-strain types of material (solid wood only dried and planed). The saving of material is still substantial and,
in addition, re-sharpening can be done twice. The requirements on machine precision and diligence in use are normal.

Noise generation & working safety
How much noise does the SuperSilent generate?
This saw blade is extremely quiet. A noise reduction by minus 20 dB(A) as against conventional saw blades is
possible. This corresponds to a reduction of the perceived loudness by 75% and a reduction of the acoustic energy
by 99%.

Will I no longer need any ear protection, if the blade works at such low noise?
Despite the extremely reduced noise level we still recommend to use ear protection.

Application

What do I have to observe when applying the SuperSilent?
The SuperSilent is a filigree precision tool with a width of only 2.0 mm (= version 2) and
thus particularly suitable, if high demands are made on the cutting quality. This should
always be observed when working with this tool. Do not use this blade for rough cuts
in solid wood with high internal stress (planks, not planed material etc.) or if the work
piece does not rest flatly on the machine.
Make sure the material feed is always parallel to the tool. This means the material
may never be pushed towards the saw blade, but always parallel past the saw blade.
There may otherwise be transverse forces with an impact on the tool thus leading
to unwanted thermal interference. As a consequence the blade may be vibrating and
eventually failing completely. The SuperSilent Version 3 and type 7825 are compensa-
ting the transverse forces much better due to their additional clearance, thus facilitating
the operation.
