SPARKS Female Skills Competition 2024 Grand Final This Week!
We are delighted to announce that the Grand Final of the SPARKS Female Skills Competition 2024 is just two days away!
Starrett band saw and hole saw demonstration zone open for visitors
Saw blade specialist Starrett has launched a new showroom and demonstration zone in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
Starrett’s new southern base means that customers needn’t travel to Starrett’s UK manufacturing headquarters in the Scottish Borders to gain expert knowledge on the company’s range of equipment. The area is open to the public six days a week, with Starrett’s technical support team visiting the site on a regular basis.
Alongside its collection of band saw machines, from bench top to large, semi-automatic machines, the demonstration zone also showcases the range of hole saws and power tool accessories. The Starrett hole saw offering has expanded dramatically from the standard, ‘go-to’ bi-metal hole saw that most contractors are familiar with. The range incorporates an entire family of products, each of which has been designed to cut different materials across a range of applications.
Starrett’s range of diamond grit hole saws, for example, feature a diamond coated cutting edge which is ideal for cutting ceramic and abrasive metals. The edge is permanently bonded to a tough steel body, enabling the hole saw to deliver a smooth surface finish, even when dealing with glass or porcelain.
Starrett has dedicated an entire work station in the demonstration zone to its range of hole saws, with technical support staff on hand to answer any questions about the products and to demonstrate the hole saws and hole saw accessories against a range of materials.
“The hole saw workstation within the Tewkesbury demonstration facility provides tradesmen and contractors with an opportunity to challenge the versatility of our hole saw range against a variety of materials and get some useful tips on how to make your hole saw blades last longer,” explained John Cove, marketing manager at Starrett.
There is no appointment necessary to visit the Starrett demonstration area in Tewkesbury. The zone is open to the public from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm and on Saturday mornings until midday. However, if you would like to book a consultation with one of Starrett’s technical advisors, or find out more about Starrett and its product range before visiting, please visit https://www.starrett.co.uk/shop/bandsawmachines/ or call +44 (0)1835 863501.
