6. Saw bands

6.1. Saw bands design
The precondition of the machine correct cutting power are high-quality bands
recommended to use bimetallic bands. The main band carrier is high-quality heat treated steel with a high limit of elasticity. The tooth
edges are high-speed steel in the quality M 42.
M 42 - a band for universal use for cutting metallic and non-ferrous materials within the whole range of quality classes up to the
h ardness 45 Hrc. This band is suitable for cutting full materials of all sections and diameters, profiles, pipes and bundles.
M 51 - with refer to saw band M 42, the determination of M51 band is for cutting steels with hardness of 50 HRC, steels of higher
stea diness classifications, stainless steels and acid proof steels. Also nickel, titan and special bronze alloys.
High cutting performance against the bimetallic bands. Suitable for cutting steels and materials with high contain of
Hardmetal -
nickel, chrome, wolfram, titan, stainless steels and surface hardened materials till hardness of 62 HRC. Saw bands may
be used for all types of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, plastic materials and materials with wood fibre. High
heat conductivity and abrasion resistant of these bands gives them higher lifetime, cutting speed and productivity
against bimetal bands.
Design: M 42 - Structure: W 2%, Mo 10%, V 1%, CO 8%, tooth hardness: 68 HRC. For cutting materials till hardness 45 HRC.
Design: M 51 - Structure: W10%, Mo 4%, V 3%, CO 10%, tooth hardness: 69 HRC. For cutting materials till hardness 50 HRC.
Design: Hardmetal - tooth hardness 1600 HV. For cutting materials till hardness 62 HRC
Except standard tooth shape and size, special corrected bands are manufactured with corrections like tooth distribution, tooth angle
and shape of its face. This band may be applied on specific materials. Ask your bands distributor for advise.
Band Tooth Arrangement
a) Constant - tooth edge spacing always equal
b) Variable - tooth edge spacing is different repeating periodically. This modern band design allows for a bigger cutting range
when one band type is being used, with the capability to eliminate vibrations due to the tooth edge striking the material and thus
to achieve a clean smooth cut and a longer life.
