Edge Shape Images | Edge Shape Description |
|
Continuous Shape :
A variety of band core width available
Continuous rim design reduces the saw marks on the materials
Suitable for dry cutting hard materials , such as glass , ceramic , carbon materials and so on.
|
|
Segmented Shape ( half moon) :
Cutting hard and brittle materials
Superior tool life and cutting ability in silicon processing
Allows greater flexibility in customizing blade edge width and pitch
|
|
Serrated Shape :
Wide width band saw blades possible
Cutting difficult to cut materials
Reduced -loading saw tooth design encourages chip evacuation

Application of Diamond coated band saw blade:
Diamond band saw blade is a kind of composite steel belt inlaid with diamond, the hardest material in the world, on a high quality imported spring steel matrix, which can cut any non-metallic, super hard, brittle materials.
Features of electroplated diamond tipped bandsaw blade:
* The highest level of precision at high cutting speeds and performance
* High efficiency: cutting hard alloy, marble, granite speed is dozens of times the efficiency of the traditional reciprocating saw or wire cutting machine
* High economic efficiency: because of its narrow incision (only 1.2mm-2mm), so less material consumption, less dust, low noise, cutting precious materials, especially has greater economic significance.
* Good cutting quality: the working part of the saw blade, that is, the thickness of the diamond blade is greater than the thickness of the matrix steel strip. With the help of the guide device, the saw blade does not contact with the surface, which is conducive to obtaining more stable sawing and higher processing quality.
* Especially for particularly difficult sawing carbon graphite and other materials, some materials bimetal saw blade saw not moving, alloy saw blade life is not long, the cutting surface is not smooth, for emery saw blade, is the best choice.
Moresuperhard as diamond coated band saw blades manufacturer, the diamond tipped band saw blade has superior band life, which can offer precise cutting, minimal material loss.
Choice of diamond coated band saw blades:
-Cutting thin material (thickness below 6 mm ):
Should choose continuous diamond coated band saw blades.And continuous diamond coated band saw blades is used in curve cutting and small materials.
-Cutting thickness (above 6 mm or more):
Should choose segmented Shape diamond tipped band saw blade. The thicker the material, the larger the tooth saw can be used.
Half moon teeth are conducive to desquamation, which is more advantageous when the cross section is large.
