The
Cold Saw Cuts Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Materials
A
cold saw is an important cutting tool in many
industrial applications. The cold saw is
used to cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals
and special materials. The cold saw operates
by using a special saw blade and misting the
blade and the piece being cut with a cutting
fluid. This eliminates the friction heat that
is normally produced with a conventional saw.
The metal cutting blades are made of a variety
of materials. These include special steel alloys
tempered to extreme hardness and then tipped
with tungsten carbide. These blades have a special
tooth design and the number of teeth on the blade
relates to the fineness or courseness of the
cuts.
Saws
For Precision Cutting
Cold
saws are used to make cuts without burrs and
without discoloring or warping the material
being cut. Many of these saws can be used
for straight cuts and also for mitre cuts.
These saws can be used for cutting stock up
to four inches thick or very thin metal sheets
or tubing at tolerances from 0.005 inch in
cut width and squareness of + or – 0.003
of an inch.
Ssaw blades come in a variety of sizes and
designs, depending upon the application. There
are dozens of different blades featured in most
industrial tool catalogs and websites.
Cold saw technology is used in cutting metal
stock, tubing and pipes in high volume industrial
applications. Not only do they cut with great
precision, these saws cut no burrs or only minimal
burring. This is important in pieces that will
require additional finishing.
