MARATHON® M42 – A Versatile Solution for a Wide Range of Cutting Tasks

The MARATHON® M42 band saw blade is a cost-efficient, high-performance option designed to handle a wide variety of applications with reliable quality. It is a bimetal blade developed for customers who require dependable performance and support in demanding, service-focused sawing operations, including industrial environments.

With an expanded product range, the MARATHON® M42 now offers even greater flexibility. It is suitable for cutting everything from smaller cross-sections to larger solid materials, making it a highly adaptable solution for diverse requirements.

Advanced finishing processes and precisely sharpened tooth edges contribute to longer blade life and cleaner cutting results. In addition, the smooth surface of the blade reduces wear on machine guides while enhancing durability and fatigue resistance, ensuring consistent performance over time.

GENERO® – Precision bimetal band saw blade for efficient wood cutting

With GENERO®, WIKUS sets new benchmarks in band saw blades for wood processing, offering a versatile solution for cutting log wood on both mobile and stationary sawmills.

Manufactured using state-of-the-art, innovative production technologies, GENERO® delivers outstanding product characteristics and an impressive service life suitable for a wide range of applications. Its high level of process reliability helps reduce setup times and lower the cost per cut.

The use of hardened high-speed steel (HSS) for the tooth tips makes the band saw blade highly resistant to foreign objects such as stones or metal inclusions in the wood.

A high-precision tooth setting ensures a perfectly straight cutting path, while the tooth gullet, rounded through a coordinated blasting process provides excellent fatigue strength, even under high band torsion or at increased cutting speeds.
