This section explains the limitations and specific applications of the different types of blades. General Characteristics: Fine Tooth Pitch --used for thin wall materials such as sheet steel, tubes and profiles Coarse Tooth Pitch --used for large cross-...
  • Page 16: Blade Structure

    Blade Structure For non--ferrous metals, it is common to use circular saws with brazed hard metal HM cutting edge, consisting of a disc made of alloy tool steel (71Cr1) on which the shape of the teeth and the seats for the cutting edges are made of Widia K10.
  • Page 17 Figure 17 Short swarf material such as brass, bronze, aluminum and hard cast iron require smaller cutting angles because the swarf becomes crushed immediately and the rake angle has little effect during the cutting stage. Figure 18 The FK350 uses discs with positive cutting angles for cutting solid materials and with negative cutting angles for cutting hollow profiles.
