Starrett, a leading provider of cutting tools and metrology equipment, is excited to announce the launch of its PowerCalc app in Italy. The mobile application is designed for hole saw users including electricians, plumbers, joiners, trades workers, engineers, and construction workers to increase efficiency, precision, and product longevity.
Starrett has always been at the forefront of innovation, continually developing cutting-edge solutions to meet the evolving needs of the industry. Renowned experts in the manufacturing of holesaws, they have solidified their position as industry leaders in the United Kingdom. From bi-metal to carbide-tipped and diamond-coated versions, Starrett offers a comprehensive selection that caters to a diverse range of cutting applications including metals, wood, plastic, fibreglass, and masonry. Notably, their ‘Fast Cut’ holesaw, known for its versatility, is currently the best-selling holesaw in the UK market. However, the ‘Fast Cut’ is not always the best tool for a specific application. Here’s where PowerCalc can help…
The PowerCalc app is free-to-use and designed exclusively for Starrett holesaws, offering a range of benefits to users. Its key feature is its ability to recommend the most suitable hole saw, arbor, and RPM for specific applications, ensuring precision and efficiency in cutting tasks. By leveraging the app’s innovative technology, hole saw users can maximize their productivity and extend the lifespan of their tools. Moreover, PowerCalc can introduce the user to new types of holesaw that are more suitable for a specific application and whether the user needs to use coolant.
A recent study conducted by Starrett found that users who were recommended Starrett’s CSC Smooth-cut holesaw, instead of a standard bi-metal holesaw, by the app, used fewer holesaws per job when cutting gauge metal. This also reduced the risk of damaging work materials. Additionally, from a health and safety perspective, when the PowerCalc app recommends Starrett’s MPH holesaw over a standard bi-metal holesaw, it helps eliminate the generation of heat and smoke when cutting materials like MDF and kitchen worktops.
The PowerCalc app is now available via the App Store and Google Play, making it easily accessible to users across Italy. By offering this tool for free, Starrett aims to help professionals who use holesaws and strengthen their ability to deliver high-quality results.
“We are excited to bring the PowerCalc app to Italy. With its advanced features and intuitive interface, this app can aid the way holesaw users approach their cutting tasks. It reflects Starrett’s ongoing commitment to innovation and our dedication to providing exceptional tools and solutions to our customers.” – Federico Conti, National Account Manager for Europe at Starrett.
