Heat and friction reducing blades
To allow it to last for longer times even after the most rugged use, it features a micro-adjustable lower blade guide. This reduces friction and prolongs the blade life. The graphite impregnated polymer blade guides along with the roller bearing thrust guides allow a more rapid set-up and cooler blade.
By reducing the heat, all these guides can prevent the damage and abuse which can cause the damage to the components of the machinery. Heavy gauge metal housing and powder coated exterior prevents the chipping or cracking of the exterior.
