German term or phrase: Holz-Blende

Marketing materials, which advertise the lubrication-free bearings that keep the saw from getting gummed up with sawdust. Google images show a variety or products for Holz-Blende, such as prefab decorative panels for stairways banisters and balconies. Google Translate gives "wood panels," which in English is more restrictive (for walls). I can't find this in dictionaries, and "Blende" has many meanings, including window shades or blinds.

Säge für Holz-Blenden:
Diese Säge schneidet Holz-Blenden auf die richtige Länge.

(no further details, except on the lubrication-free bearings)

Thanks!

obviously not "holes", being a saw and all....
