We know how to maximize the performance of your Band Saw for Structural Steel Cutting
The metallurgy and geometry of band saw blades are extremely diverse as sawing applications for band saw blades has exploded over the years. As the cutting performance is a key factor for our saws we have tried multiple blade manufactures and within each manufactures offering the different products that are diversified by metallurgy and tooth geometry.
The results of our testing have revealed the following blades to generate the best price performance factors.
Lenox ARMOR® CT Black Carbide Band Saw Blades
For Extreme Cutting Rates
Armor coating provides faster cutting and higher productivity
Aluminum, Titanium and Nitrogen (AlTiN) combine to form a tough coating that protects each tooth from heat and wear with an armor-like barrier
Extends blade bife by preventing heat build up
Improved, thicker coating now forces even more heat into the chips, instead of the blade or workpiece
High performance backing steel with excellent fatigue life
Optimized heat treat and backing steel preparation minimizes premature band breaks
