Felder Group's Silent-POWER spiral cutterblock reduces noise emissions by more than half when planing. A continuous pulling cut ensures tear-free results when planing all types of wood.
SCM Group's Minimax planer now has Xylent blade technology in the cutting block, making it quieter. Tooling redesigns are reducing machining noise levels.
SCM Group's Xylent blade technology yields finer wood chips and is said to deliver a smoother block.
Leuco's nn-System DP Flex saw blades are used on many types of machines such as tablesaws and chop saws, vertical panel sizing saws, CNCs and through-feed machines.
Leuco nn-System DP Flex main saw blade in detail: cutting width only 2.5 mm, extremely small chip gullets. The hollow back geometry provides precise cutting in all common wood-based panels. Also provided are many abrasive composite materials, as well as precise longitudinal and cross-cuts in solid wood.

Leitz Tooling launched its quieter Premium line of horizontal panel saw blades last year, with "laser ornaments" in the blade body filled with a special polymer for vibration damping and accuracy.
A quieter cutter block: SCM lowers sound level on planer head
SCM measures the noise level of the planing performed on a Minimax Lab 300 plus testing a conventional and a Xylent blade. It will be at IWF 2016.
