Your ultimate solution for tube cutting performance

Unlock the full potential of your tube cutting operations with the TUBE HT Pro saw blade.

With cutting speeds up to 330 m/min at very high feed rates, the PVD coated carbide tipped TUBE HT Pro is your optimal solution for high volume and high tensile tube applications.

It has specifically been designed for cutting all types of high tensile tubes with a high output and will perform at its best at tensile strengths between 1,000 – 1,500 N/mm² at a wide range of demanding tube applications and steel grades. Typical products are drive shafts, twist beams, camshafts, suspensions and differentials.

Achieve an almost flawless surface finish that meets the highest standards of your industry and minimize or avoid post-machining, therefore saving cycle time and tool costs.

* Only available in Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States

Advantages:

• Suitable for all types of tubes
• Specifically designed for cutting high tensile tubes with a high output
• Higher blade life, especially when cutting higher tensile strength tubes
• Very high feed rates
• Because the cut surface is as close to the end stage as possible, you will minimize or avoid post-machining, save cycle time and tool costs.

 
Applications:

• Cutting speeds up to 330 m/min
• Tooth load: 0,035 – 0,20 mm/tooth
• When focussing on output, using high parameters is advised. Please note, this does come at the expense of blade life.
