RS Components introduces new power and hand tool cutting accessories for maintenance engineers
LENOX cutting accessories deliver high performance, durability and increased productivity.
LONDON, UK, xx Month, 2018 - RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, has added a range of LENOX power and hand tool cutting accessories to its portfolio of products for maintenance engineers working in production environments, or for tradespeople working in fields such as construction, woodworking or plumbing. The new Lenox range includes power tool cutting accessories such as cut-off wheels, reciprocating-saw blades, hole saws, jigsaw blades and step drill bits.Designed for use in the same power tools as bonded abrasive types, LENOX’s METALMAX diamond technology is offered as an alternative cut-off wheel, operating with the same RPM and feed forces. The product also offers excellent durability by delivering 1000 or more cuts – up to 30 times longer life than thin bonded cut-off wheels. In addition, cutting depth remains the same throughout its life, which delivers better control, reach and precision. The technology can cope with multiple types of metal including steel, sheet metal, stainless steel, rebar (reinforcing bar), cast iron, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
A second range available from RS are reciprocating-saw blades, which include: LAZER CT carbide-tipped blades, offering up to 10 times longer life than standard bi-metal blades; DEMOLITION CT blades, designed to cut through nails embedded in wood; and GOLD POWER ARC curved blades, which deliver up to two times longer life when compared to traditional straight reciprocating saw blades.
Other power tool cutting accessories include diamond hole saws that offer a continuous brazed edge and a robust design for greater durability in tough applications; bi-metal jigsaw blades for woodworking and metal cutting; and ‘VARI-BIT step drill bits that feature a patented two-flute design to enable fast and clean cutting of round holes.
Also available are sawing and metalworking fluids including LENOX PROTOOL LUBE, which is a synthetic emulsion designed to extend tool life, plus a wide selection of hand tools including hacksaw frames and blades and plastic- and metal-tube cutters.
The LENOX range of power and hand tool cutting accessories is now shipping from RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
