NXT-CT Carbide Tipped
Bi-MetalCONTOUR BAND™ M42
Features a high hardness (68-69 Rc) with an 8% cobalt M42 edge. They are available in narrow widths with Hook, Constant and Broach tooth styles for radius and straight cutting.
NEW WAVE™ MATRIX II
Features an 8% cobalt edge with 66-68 Rc tooth hardness. Specifically tailored for maintenance department saws, fabricators of lighter structurals, round and square tubing and other applications that can prove troublesome to saw blade users everywhere. The unique, group tooth set, combined with the Broach tooth design, delivers smoother cuts with less noise and vibration. Because teeth are group set in varying degrees, each tooth protects adjacent teeth from taking too much stress load. This helps prevent tooth loss due to chipping and eventual strippage. For use on horizontal or vertical band saw machines. |
Carbon
A hard edge, flexible back blade for horizontal cut-off machines. Also for contour and straight cutting on vertical band saw machines. Its economical cost makes it a good choice for cutting “easy to machine” metals, wood, plastics and other materials that do not require high production blades. Carbon is a light duty production blade that is well suited for machines with small wheel diameters. Tri-Temp
Tri-Temp blades are manufactured from high carbon alloy steel. Through a special heat treating process, a spring tempered hardness is given to the back of the blade. This quality allows the blade to be given more tension for added rigidity, resulting in straighter cuts and accuracy in contour cutting. Its greater tensile strength allows heavier feeds and provides longer blade life for production cutting. Tri-Temp is not recommended to be run at speeds over 4,000 feet per minute. For added versatility and performance, we recommend the original varied pitch Broach and Posi Tooth blades. X-tra Duty .032
X-tra Duty .032™ blades are heavy duty for wood, metal and the furniture industries. A hard edge, flexible back blade with extra thickness (.032) adds extra rigidity, strength and blade life. This blade is widely used by the woodworking industries, especially furniture manufacturers. Also used on aluminum, magnesium, brass, etc. X-tra Duty .032™ is manufactured with a Hook tooth design and is available in 1/4”, 3/8″ and 1/2” widths. Not recommended for machines that take a band less than 15’ in length. |
