High performance cutting of high hardness tubes on less stable machines

The CX 5 saw blade has been specifically designed to cut thin walled tubes.

Because of its light cutting properties it is also very well suited for use on a wide range of automatic cut-off machines.

Applications:

• Thin walled high hardness tube cutting on lighter machines.
• Cutting less stable, high hardness hollow sections on high performance machines
• Suggested cutting speed:160 – 280 m/min
• Tooth load: 0,025 – 0,12 mm/tooth
• Machines: Soco, Kasto, Bewo, RSA, Adige, Sinico, Rattunde

Note: Respect 10% fill ratio, be aware of tube vibrations when cutting less stable products (use form jaws)

Perfect surface finish and burr-free tube ends cutting austenitic stainless steel tubes

The high nickel content of austenitic stainless steel tubes makes them difficult to cut with HSS saw blades.

With the dedicated tooth geometry of the carbide tipped and PVD coated CX 4 saw blade, perfect surface finish and burr-free tube ends will be achieved.

Applications:

• High performance cutting of stainless steel tube (austenitic, ferritic)
• Suggested cutting speed: 80 – 140 m/min
• Tooth load: 0,06 – 0,12 mm/tooth
• Machines: Soco, Rattunde, Bewo, RSA, Sinico

Note: Respect 10% fill ratio, use wire brush. Be aware of tube vibration when cutting less stable products (use form jaws). Choice of cutting oil is critial to achieve high blade life (Castrol B30 or B335 suggested). Positive geometry, carefull handling of saw blade to prevent tooth damage.

Ideal for cutting steel tubes on high performance automatic sawing machines

The CX 3 saw blade has been developed for cutting tubes on high performance automatic sawing machines, at a higher maximum cutting speed than with HSS saw blades.

It is most effective on sawing machines with accurate control of chip load and variable feed rate. Bigger tips are applied at pitches > 9mm for added stability.

Applications:

• Cutting steel tubes with a tensile strength between 600 – 1500 N/mm²
• Cutting speed: 180 – 280 m/min
• Tooth load: 0,04 – 0,16 mm/tooth
• Machines: Soco, Rattunde, Sinico, Bewo, RSA, Plantool, Adige, OMP

Note: Respect 10% fill ratio, be aware of tube vibration when cutting less stable products (use form jaws), try to select one saw blade (tooth count) to cut all products.
