The A to Z of wood machining with carbides
The new CERATIZIT catalogue pools the extensive product range of the world market leader

CERATIZIT S. A., Mamer, Luxembourg (headquarters), March 2010.

The new catalogue ‘Hard metals for wood machining’ from CERATIZIT is available from now on. Not only does the world market leader offer the most extensive product range, but in fact the most comprehensive catalogue so far.

The catalogue shows all innovations as well as up-to-date offers in a well-structured way. Thanks to the clear structure of the product range the customer is able to rapidly obtain the information he is looking for. Additionally, a system of symbols and colour coding ensures high user-friendliness.

The delivery programme includes the sectors of carbide blanks, semi-finished products and finished products. In addition to saw tips for wood and metal machining, as well as inserts, blanks and scorers for profiling and knives for planer blades, the reference guide includes strips and rods in both finished and 'as sintered' versions.

Furthermore, the 230-page catalogue provides information on the carbide grades available for wood machining. The suitable carbide grade for every application: from natural wood to extremely hard artificial wood such as, for example, formica/Resopal or laminates. This is particularly important for business partners who need tailor-made special components. The CERATIZIT grade programme ranges from nano to ultra-fine high-performance grades, to submicron and fine grain grades and robust coarse grain grades for extreme machining conditions. In this manner CERATIZIT covers the entire cutting tool sector with its carbide products for wood machining.

“We consider ourselves first of all a partner for the wood tool manufacturers. Throughout the world our hard material products are known for innovation and quality and are applied in wood machining tools for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts,” says Paul Jung, business unit manager for wood and stone machining at CERATIZIT. “The applied carbide grades are adapted to the material and the application range. Our large stock program ensures rapid availability for our customers at any time. In order to be able to support our customers throughout the world even better, the catalogue is available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.”
