From the Press:Farmingdale, N.Y. – June 9, 2009 – Amana Tool, manufacturers of industrial-quality carbide-tipped, solid carbide and replacement carbide cutting tools, today announced the new Black Mamba™ saw blades as part of its A.G.E.™ saw blade offerings. Black Mamba blades are ideal for use in portable saws, either on the job site or in the shop, giving contractors access to industrial-quality cutting materials regardless of location. The new blades feature a thin-kerf design and hollow ground teeth that provide sharper cuts and help extend blade life. Black Mamba blades are designed for general rip and cut applications such as framing and decking where fast, efficient cuts are needed, even in wet lumber.
The Black Mamba saw blade bodies are laser cut from virgin steel, then flattened, ground and tensioned. Carbide tips are then brazed onto the plates and ground to our specifications, enabling smooth, accurate cutting. Black Mamba blades also feature laser cut expansion slots that reduce noise, minimize vibrations and prevent heat buildup and blade warping, as well as laser cut diamond knockouts for easy twist removal. Each step in the manufacturing process is computer-controlled and monitored by sophisticated inspection equipment to assure the tightest tolerances and superior quality.
Black Mamba saw blades are available in 7 ¼” diameter with either 24 teeth for general rip and cut framing or decking (#MD7240) or 40 teeth for finish cuts (#MD7400).
