Plastic cutting bandsaw blades differ from metal cutting blades on numerous parameters. Even though plastics are far softer than traditional metals, they can be very challenging to cut without the right blade and set-up. Even professionals face adversities when working with engineering plastics.

Quite evidently, similar cutting techniques as metal can not be useful for cutting plastics because of the inherent differences between traditional metals and plastics. There are a few basic considerations to be kept in mind when selecting a bandsaw blade for cutting plastics.

Cutting Plastics: As Challenging As Cutting Metal, If Not More

Plastic’s non-conductive nature slows down the dissipation of heat around the blade while cutting. This leads to localised melting of the plastic. It could also be a reason for wandering cuts because of the production of excessive frictional heat.

To overcome the issue of localised melting, special care must be given to balancing the feed rate with cutting speed of the blade. Bandsaw blades which are coarser than the ones used for cutting metal must be used for cutting plastic. Cleaning the cutting area is also important in reducing heat build-up.

Sawblade.com.au brings to you Carbon Flexback Bandsaw blades, intricately designed to meet all your plastic cutting needs. Our high-quality blades last longer and yield superior results.

Specially Made For Cutting Plastic

The Flexback Carbon Bandsaw blade manufactured at Sawblade.com.au is exclusively developed with a high carbon steel strip with unique characteristics and metallurgical properties. The steel enables superior cutting performance, improved fatigue resistance and tougher, harder teeth.

Our bandsaw blades are developed to be used in multiple applications for cutting plastic. Different type of blade can be used for each particular application, for example, CNC/contour for profile cutting. Narrow blades can be more useful for general purpose processing. However, wider blades are better suited for peeling and splitting.

Bandsaw blades used for cutting meat, fish and poultry products are designed to be disinfected regularly. Designed to enable easy loading and unloading of the blade, you can easily clean the blade after every use. Unlike metal cutting bandsaw blades, blades used for cutting meat does not have the same precision around the blade guide. Meat cutting blades are specifically designed with razor-sharp hook teeth to allow maximum penetration, whilst the unique process-specific tooth set reduces waste for superior yield in food processing.

When cutting wood using bandsaw blades, a major misconception is that the blade is safe from breakage or instant wear and tear. This misconception stems from the fact that wood is softer than metal and all bandsaw blades used for cutting metal can also be used for cutting wood.

Making the correct choice the first time is essential for saving you time and money. Manufactured using durable carbon flex-back material and extensive heat treatment, blades at Sawblade.com.au are designed to meet all your requirements.

Woodworking Made Easy

Cutting wood requires performing various tasks with varying precision levels. The following points should be considered when selecting a bandsaw blade for cutting wood.

Firstly, the length of the blade should depend upon the bandsaw machine you are using. Usually, the label on the machine specifies the length of the blade it can accommodate. Secondly, you need to choose the width of your blade. If you are a beginner woodworker, go for the widest possible blade as they can withstand extreme feed rates without flexing or breaking.

However, there is a correct blade width for every specific task. Refer to the image below to get a baseline of different curves these blades can potentially cut.

 

A blade that is being used for cutting bowls will not be ideal for cutting curves. Consequently, cutting curves disturbs the teeth of the blade rendering it incapable of performing straight cuts. So the best advice we can give you is to keep a separate blade for every application. Also, blade dimensions may vary depending on the actual thickness of the wood.

Designed To Perform Perfect Cuts

Sawblade.com.au blades are manufactured using steel made in Germany and band welded in Australia. Our blades also include a safety protection strip on the tooth edge of the blade.

Our flagship Flexback Carbon Bandsaw blade is manufactured from an exclusively developed high carbon steel strip with unique characteristics and metallurgical properties. The steel enables superior cutting performance, improved fatigue resistance and tougher, harder teeth.

When it comes to steel cutting bandsaw blades, the two most important factors to consider are the tooth pitch and cutting speed. The cutting speed should be adjusted for cutting different types of metal. While slower speeds can be used for cutting non-ferrous metals like brass, aluminium, etc., faster blade speeds are more suited for cutting ferrous metals like mild steel, stainless steel, etc.

Right Blade For The Right Steel

Cutting steel with inconsistent speed produces a lot of heat in the teeth of the blade and makes them go blunt fast or strips the teeth completely off the blade. Bandsaw blades used for cutting steel are built with bent teeth. The bent teeth pattern creates a cut slightly wider than the thickness of the blade. This prevents the blade from getting stuck in the steel while cutting.

When it comes to cutting steel, the harder the steel, the slower the cutting speed should be. The average speed for cutting Aluminium is 150-1000m/min. However, cutting speed for cutting Mild Steel and Stainless Steel is 50-120m/min and 20-75m/min respectively.

Especially Designed For Cutting Steel

Blades manufactured at Sawblade.com.au, feature martensitic structure of the tooth tips and the high cobalt content creating an excellent heat resistance and toughness reducing wear rates at high sawing speeds.

The high wear resistance of the bandsaw blades results from very hard and evenly distributed carbides in the tooth tips, formed during the hardening and tempering process.

With a high chromium backing, the saw blade can withstand the considerable flexing stresses, tension, and blade guide pressure.

The most cost-effective bandsaw blades for metal cutting should have a combination of high-speed tooth tips and flexible backing material.

Use of the wrong blade can produce vibrations with uneven load leading to reduced blade life. Hence, choosing the right blade is very important.

Bandsaw blades used for cutting metal are built with bent teeth. The bent teeth pattern creates a cut slightly wider than the thickness of the blade. This prevents the blade from getting stuck in the metal while cutting.

Custom Made For Metal Cutting

“Tooth set” greatly affects the cut efficiency and longevity of bandsaw blades. “Tooth set” is the number of teeth and the angle at which they are set on the blade. At Sawblade.com.au, blades are manufactured with a perfect tooth set, capable of operating at high speeds. Our bandsaw blades are suitable for cutting all types of metal including compound metals and non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper and brass.

If you are cutting a thick piece of metal, a blade with a wider tooth is what you need. You can adjust the type of blade depending on your application. Blades with finest tooth are best suited for cutting sheet metal and tubing. Thickness of the blade used for cutting should depend on the toughness and strength of the metal.

Pioneers In Manufacturing Quality Blades

Blades manufactured at Sawblade.com.au have hardened tooth tips combined with a particularly flexible body. Our up to date welding techniques produce ultra-strong joints, resulting in exceptional reliability. Each blade is put through a rigorous testing procedure to ensure that you only receive the best bandsaw blades.

At Sawblade.com.au, we have a blade for your applications ranging from cutting steel for a simple work-shop operation to sawing compound materials. The consistent efficiency of our blades is a testament to our benchmark production plan and sets us apart from the competition.
