Steam-ex
PVD Coated with double blade life compared to steam treated
A thin layer of high-tech coating protects the Steam-eX saw blade against wear on the sides. This ensures a long blade life, fewer blade changes and an improved surface finish.
Advantages:
- Double blade life compared to steam treated blades
- No side pick-up
Applications:
- All materials like tubes, profiles and solids.
- All structural steels and non-alloy steel with a tensile strength up to 700 N/mm2
- Suggested cutting speed: 30 – 60 m/min
- Machines: manual, semi-automatic
