Ideal for cutting thin walled (stainless) tubes and profiles, sticky materials

The Power NX saw blade has specifically been designed for cutting (very) thin walled (stainless) steel tubes and profiles.

A special, temperature resistant, thin PVD coating, combined with a thinned cutting area, enables these blades to be used for extremely demanding applications, like fast cutting of thin walled products.

Advantages:

• Especially designed for cutting stainless steel
• Thin PVD coating with a very low friction coefficient and high hardness
• Very suitable for extremely demanding applications
• Low vibration
• Less burr
• Reduced risk of tube-end deformation
• Very high temperature resistance
• To be used with spray mist or emulsion coolant for maximal results
• For relevant applications, a recoating program is available

Applications:

• Cutting thin walled (stainless) tubes and profiles, sticky materials
• Suggested cutting speed:
  Austenitic stainless steel (300 series) 30 – 50 m/min
  Ferritic w/o Ti (409 & 412) 220 – 260 m/min
  Ferritic with Ti (441) 60 – 120 m/min
• Machines: Automatic, semi-automatic, flying cut off applications

Single and Twin cut-off without inside scarf

SpeedMaster is a TCT saw blade for flying cut-off applications on tube mills.

It provides an opportunity to greatly increase the tube manufacturing line speeds and cut the production costs.

Where cutting speed limits of coated HSS saw blades have been reached, SpeedMaster saw blades provide an effective solution.

Advantages

• Extremely high line speed because of very short cutting times
• Very good surface finish, burr-free cut
• Increased uptime

Applications

• Single and twin flying cut-off machines designed for TCT cutting with small or no ID-scarf
• Tubes with a tensile strength up to 1.000 N/mm²
• Cutting speed: 350 m/min (starting value).
• Tooth load 1/2/3: relation 1/2/0.8. 0.05/0.10/0.04 mm/tooth.

Note: To accommodate higher requirements of line speed or reduce vibration level when cutting thin wall section, higher cutting speeds (up to 500m/min) can be applied. Tooth load can be doubled if required, while respecting max fill ratio of 10%.

Single and Twin cut-off with inside scarf

The PVD coated carbide tipped ScarfMaster has especially been designed for flying cut-off applications dealing with heavy inside scarf.

It features a very specific tooth geometry, combined with highly shock resistant carbide tips.

Due to strong saw body shoulders which give the teeth maximum support, the combination tooth/body obtains very high stability and fracture resistance. Extended blade life is therefore achieved.

Advantages

• High line speed
• Increased uptime
• High blade life
• Cuts heavy ID scarf
• Cuts high tensile API Pipes (up to 1.800 N/mm²)
• Various tooth geometries available

Applications:

• Flying cut-off applications dealing with heavy ID Scarf
• Cutting speed: 400 – 500 m/min (choose max available).
• Tooth load 1/2/3: relation 1/1/1. Starting value 0.04 mm/tooth.
• ScarfMaster saw blades are available for flying cut-off machines, such as MTM, OTO mills, Nakata and Olimpia.

Note: Primary failure mode for this application is tooth and shoulder damage. raising cutting speed and reducing tooth load typically improves blade life. Blade life is highly depending on size, orientation and material grade of loose inside scarf. No guarantees can therefore be given for blade life. Blade life typically varies considerably, depending on operator/crew who influence scarf condition.

Orbital flying cut-off – Stainless steel

The TubeMaster Stainless saw blade has specifically been developed for cutting stainless steel tubes on orbital flying cut-off units.

These saw blades can cope with cutting speeds between 60 – 120 m/min.

TubeMaster Stainless offers high uptime due to a blade life up to 3,5 m², combined with high cut quality and production output.

Applications:

• Orbital flying cut-off applications
• Suggested cutting speed: 60 – 120 m/min
• Feed: 0.035 – 0.10 mm/tooth
• TubeMaster Stainless saw blades are available for all orbital cutting machines.

Note: To accomodate higher requirements of line speed or reduce vibration level, much higher cutting speeds (up to 600 m/min) can be applied. Tooth load can be raised , while respecting max fill ratio of 10% during entry. Respect max cut depth of 3mm.

Orbital flying cut-off

TubeMaster saw blades have especially been designed for orbital flying cut-off applications on tube mills.

Key features of this saw blade are fractureresistant carbide tips, protected with a high-tech TiAlN-based PVD coating.

Combined with a light cutting geometry for smooth chip evacuation, a milled like surface finish is achieved. This geometry also reduces vibration when cutting thin walled tubes (<4mm), thereby achieving excellent blade life.

The new generation of TubeMaster products has a new body design, new carbide grade, new tip geometry and a special coating. This results in a higher blade life and more regular blade performance.

Advantages:

•  High line speed
•  High blade life
• Cuts high tensile API Pipes (up to 1.000 N/mm², X80, HT)
• Burr-free cut

Applications:

• Orbital, flying cut-off applications
• TubeMaster saw blades are available for all types of orbital cutting machines, such as MTM, OTO mills, Elmaksan, Kusakabe, Linsinger, Nakata and SMS Meer.
• Suggested cutting speed: 350 – 400 m/min.
• Feed 1/2: 0,04 / 0,12 mm/tooth

Note: To accommodate higher requirements of line speed or reduce vibration level, much higher cutting speeds (up to 600 m/min) can be applied. Tooth load can be raised , while respecting max fill ratio of 10% during entry. Respect max cut depth of 3mm.
