HSS Cold Saw Blades

HSS cold saw blades are usually made from either M2 (DMo5) tool steel or M35 (EMo5Co5) tool steel, alloyed with additional cobalt.  HSS cold saw blades are heat treated and hardened to 64/65 HRc. This high rockwell hardness gives the cutting edges of the teeth a high resistance to heat and wear. Our blades are press quenched after hardening to prevent them from being warped. The term high speed steel (HSS) doesn't necessarily mean what it implies. These blades are usually run at surface speeds lower than 350 SFM.  HSS cold saw blades may be used for cutting many different shapes and types of metal including: tubes, extrusions, structural sections, billets, bars, ingots, castings, forgings etc. Contact us to learn more.

Tooth Forms

Tooth-form-HZ.jpg

Triple Chip (HZ)

The HZ tooth form is most suitable for cutting solids and thick walled tubes. The roughening tooth is beveled on both sides and is between 0.2mm and 0.3mm higher than the square finishing tooth. For tooth pitches greater than 3-4mm.

Chip Breaker (CB)

The Chipbreaker tooth form is most effective for tube and profile cutting, particularly Advanced Cold Saw Blades. It minimizes burr formation even at high cutting rates and allows for higher cutting  speeds.

Tooth-form-BW.jpg

Alternate Bevel (Bw)

Teeth are alternatively beveled from one side to the other. The BW tooth form is most suitable for cutting light gauge tubes and sections made of steel or non-ferrous metals. For tooth pitches less than 3-4mm.

Applications

HSS cold saw blades are used to cut many common materials.
