SuperSilent
Press Commentaries

The LIGNA in Hanover is worldwide the most important fair for the wood pro-
cessing industry. This year the specialist for carbide tools and saw blades, AKE
from Balingen-Engstlatt, caused a sensation. „AKE re-invents sawing“ was the
self-confident statement. Both the press and trade professionals were conse-
quently curious.
The crowds during the live presentations at the AKE stand in hall 26 never eb-
bed away. Three times a day visitors were flocking to the presentation of the
SuperSilent in order to convince themselves, whether there really is a revolution
in terms of saw blades – and they had been anything but disappointed: „Man!“,
„…an unbelievable cutting surface in solid wood…“, „…feels as if it had been
planed rather than sawn…“, „…wouldn’t have considered such a perfect exit
edge in MDF possible without a scorer…“, „…you really don’t hear the saw any
more…“, were the typical comments each and every day. SuperSilent did satis-
fy the high expectations and often even exceeded them. The managing director,
Mr. Alexander Knebel, declared himself more than satisfied: „There is a real
run on the SuperSilent. We register an unbridled demand for the currently most
efficient tool in our product range. We obviously set new standards.“ The expert
panel for the Ligna Innovation Award 2013 is apparently of the same opinion -
ranking the SuperSilent first.

Even after the LIGNA show AKE and the SuperSilent are still being talked
of and there is hardly any trade magazine not reporting enthusiastically
about this world’s first:

[...] Ultra-silent, as clean as a scalpel, closed as a cutting disc: AKE showed
a new type of saw blade on the occasion of the LIGNA. […]. This blade has
been further developed since the LIGNA and can now be re-sharpened once.
After approximately 5,000 meters’ performance the blade may need to be
sharpened – depending on the type of material. After that another 4,000 me-
ters are easily available on top. [...]

[...]Lower noise, sharper, safer…[…] AKE succeeded in combining a comple-
tely new round body design with micro diamond tips. This is how the 75-dB(A)
level could clearly be undercut if running with idle running and at more than
4,000 rpm..[…] Another advantage is the versatility and long tool life of the
»SuperSilent«. It provides the avantage of working without tool change. The
operator simply cuts all types of wood-based material such as chip boards,
MDF or solid wood with only one blade and always with constant precision.
