Cost effective for thin walled tubes and profiles in (stainless) steel

The EC 3000 saw blade is cost effective due to a sophisticated PVD coating for wear protection. This coating has been developed in order to achieve a very low friction coefficient at a low cost level. Also very suitable for cutting stainless steel.

Advantages:

• Cuts much faster and has a much longer blade life than the steam treated blade
• No side pick-up
• Good wear protection due to the smooth coating surface

Applications:

• All structural steel and non-alloy steel thin walled tubes
• Tensile strength up to 600 N/mm2
• Suggested cutting speed: 60 – 120 m/min
• Feed: 0,03 – 0,09 mm/tooth
• Machines: manual, semi-automatic, automatic

Typical application example:

Material	Dimensions (mm)	Material specification	Cutting speed (m/min)	Cutting time (s)	Output (Pcs/hr)	Blade life (cuts)	Blade life (m2)
Tube	40 x 4	S235	70	3,96 sec	561	5,000	2,2

Available sizes:

Diameter mm	Kerf mm	Bore mm
250	2,0	32
275	2,0/2,5	40
315	2,5	40
350	3,0	40

Recommended tooth forms:

Tooth form	Usage
HZ	Tooth pitch higher than 4 mm.
BW	Tooth pitch 4 mm or smaller.
CB	Chipbreaker tooth form is most effective for tube and profile cutting, particularly with PVD coated blades.
