Band Saw Blades

Band Saw Blades

Band Saw Blades - Band saw blades cut a kerf of only 1'5 mm compared to 3 mm for power hacksaws and abrasive disc saws and 6 mm for cold saws. This represents a considerable saving especially when cutting large stock or expensive material.

-Band saw blades of carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel and high speed steel are available. Also, composite blades with high speed steel or tungsten carbide teeth welded to a carbon steel back are available. High speed steel blades are preferred for cut off work because they provide long service life at high cutting speeds.

-Common blade widths are 6, 9, 12'7, 16, 18 and 25 mm.

-Blades 25 mm or wider are normally used became their high strength can tolerate the heavier loading encountered in high feed rates.

-Common pitches are 1'5, 2, 2'5, 3 and 4 mm.
