Freud manufactures an extensive range of circular saws blades for the woodworking industry. From circular saws to mitre saws and from panel saws to trim saw blades. We also supply an extensive range of router bits, both straights and profiles, forstner bits and accessories. The comprehensive range will allow any craftsman or trade professional to produce the finest finishes and creative mouldings.

A router bit’s performance depends on two main factors; it’s cutting quality and it’s life span. Performance comparison tests were conducted on Freud router bits with particular focus on cutting life and finish.

Straight router bits with identical dimensions (1/2″ cutting diameter, 1/2″ shank, 2 flute) were mounter on a CNC router. A number of 1/4″ deep grooves were then routered into a chipboard-melamine coated panel.

The performance evaluation was based on the number of chips on the melamine coating and averaging the first and last 33 routed feet.

Initially, all router bits performed in a similar way but as the number of routed feet increased it was soon clear that the Freud router bit gave a far superior performance to the other bits.

Freud has a complete range of router bits that offer high quality, long working life and less friction when cutting – all of which can be found on A C Sissling’s web store.

Stronghold^® Snapsafe^TM Cylinder

Break-ins involving doors fitted with euro-cylinders are on the increase and constant demands from victims and crime reduction authorities for a solution have been met with the introduction of the Squire Stronghold^® Snapsafe^TM cylinder.

Our design team came up with a simple modification to a standard cylinder. This realistically accepts that a cylinder, when subjected to a physical attack, can break but that it should break without nullifying its security. As the name suggests it snaps safe.

As the illustration shows the cylinder will snap at a pre-selected position leaving an in-built security zone inside the door furniture of the door with at least three active pin chambers. The would be thief is now faced with taking more time to pick the lock and invariably will give up. In most instances, even after the attack, the key holder will still be able to open the lock.

The Snapsafe^TM security cylinder is available on all lengths including single, doubles and thumbturn, and in all three ranges Standard, Restricted and Protected.

Except for Straightaway 100, standard door hangers are of steel construction with ball bearings lubricated for life. For full details of hangers, bottom rollers, tracks, brackets and guides refer to the store pages relating to the door gear concerned.

Top hung straight sliding door gears for single track runs have been exhaustively tested to establish realistic carrying capacities. The performance recommendations apply to the gear only and specifiers and purchasers must satisfy themselves that the building structures are adequate for the door weights and local wind pressures. Specified working clearance should be maintained under all conditions.

Roll & Stroll Floor Protector From Everbuild

Everbuild have introduced a unique new type of Self Adhesive Floor Protector that has been designed to provide the user with an easy to lay product.

Roll & Stroll is “reverse coated”, with the adhesive on the outside and is uniquely “loose wound” with a release agent on the face so it literally rolls out along the floor with the push of a foot, without even bending down!
 

Roll & Stroll is the perfect way to protect floor surfaces from the costly damage which can occur during decorating and building work as it will shield floors against mess, dirt, staining, spillages and soiling. Roll & Stroll protects most floor surfaces including carpet, wood, ceramic tiles, laminate, vinyl and stone, it is also ideal for protecting worktops, window ledges and cills etc.

Designed for heavy foot traffic Roll & Stroll is waterproof to stop liquid spills and has an anti-slip cross weave which means that it won’t tear or rip, and, when the job’s done, it is easily removed with no sticky residue.

Roll & Stroll is available in 20, 75 and 150 metre long rolls, all 600mm wide. The 20 metre roll is available boxed in 6’s in a printed, shelf ready display box. The 75 and 150 metre rolls are available as singles.

Everbuild Marketing Manager, Helen Kirby, said “The self adhesive floor protection market is growing fast as companies look to reduce on site “trip risk” and, with the obvious safety benefits compared to loose dust sheets, we have noticed that there is a gap in the market for an easy to lay floor protection system which is readily available through Builders Merchants, and is usable on most floor surfaces. Roll & Stroll brings to market a product which offers real added value and immediately obvious user benefits.”
