These machines are two of the very latest top of the range machine centres supplied by Iseli in Switzerland

Thode are the very proud suppliers of these innovative machines to the saw milling industry.

The BNF100 side grinder

The BNF100 side grinder is capable of side grinding your saws to within several microns per side.

Saw tooth accuracy on both sides is without doubt critical.  

So often the side grinding of a saw will let the saw down, tooth geometry is a critical aspect of saw performance and we need to get it right.  

We all know tooth geometry is first and foremost. Tangential and radial angles are critical for fast straight cutting, these machines achieve that goal.

The accuracy of these machine centre is outstanding. Thode now have two of these installed in our factory so you can be reassured your saws are in spec and ready to cut fast and hard.

The BNA plasma tipper

The BNA plasma tipper is the latest from Iseli.  

This machine melts the tip material into copper contact cups, providing us with the ability to trial various metals not only Stellite to optimise saw performance for very different applications.  

This machine compliments the tipping capabilities of Thode Knife and Saw and sits alongside our two Iseli SAA tippers.
