Due to their unique bi-metal structure and excellent performance, bi-metal bandsaw blades are widely used in various metal cutting applications. They can be used with various types of bandsaws to meet the high demands of continuous metal sawing.
Metal Cutting Applications
Bi-metal bandsaw blades can easily cut common ferrous metals such as cast iron, cast steel, rolled round steel, square steel, pipes, and profiles.
Their excellent performance is also evident in the cutting of hard and viscous metals such as alloy tool steel, alloy structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and stainless steel.
In addition, bi-metal bandsaw blades are also suitable for cutting non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum.
By selecting the appropriate tooth profile (e.g., skip tooth design), they can even be used to efficiently cut hard frozen materials such as frozen fish and frozen meat.
Woodworking Applications
After special treatment, bi-metal bandsaw blades can also be used for sawing wood. However, it should be noted that woodworking saw blades differ from ordinary bandsaw blades in tooth profile. Woodworking saw blades usually adopt an equal-tooth, large-gullet design to facilitate chip removal. If you want to use a bi-metal bandsaw blade to cut wood, you should choose a product that has been specially processed and has a larger tooth pitch to suit the cutting needs of hard and valuable woods such as mahogany, oak, and ironwood. At the same time, the material should be selected according to the hardness of the wood to ensure cutting efficiency and blade life.
