Deskripsi
Cost effective for thin walled tubes and profiles in (stainless) steel
The EC 3000 saw blade is cost effective due to a sophisticated PVD coating for wear protection. This coating has been developed in order to achieve a very low friction coefficient at a low cost level. Also very suitable for cutting stainless steel.
Advantages:
- Cuts much faster and has a much longer blade life than the steam treated blade
- No side pick-up
- Good wear protection due to the smooth coating surface
Applications:
- All structural steel and non-alloy steel thin walled tubes
- Tensile strength up to 600 N/mm2
- Suggested cutting speed: 60 – 120 m/min
- Feed: 0,03 – 0,09 mm/tooth
- Machines: manual, semi-automatic, automatic
Stainless steel applications
| Material | Suggested cutting speed |
Blade life (indication) |
| Austenitic stainless steel (300 series) | 30 – 50 m/min | ≈ 1 m2 |
| Ferritic w/o Ti (409 & 412) | 220 – 260 m/min | < 2 m2 |
| Ferritic with Ti (441) | 60 – 120 m/min |

| Tube | 40 x 4 | S235 | 70 | 3,96 sec | 561 | 5,000 | 2,2 |
Available sizes:
| Diameter mm | Kerf mm | Bore mm |
| 250 | 2,0 | 32 |
| 275 | 2,0/2,5 | 40 |
| 315 | 2,5 | 40 |
| 350 | 3,0 | 40 |
Recommended tooth forms:
| Tooth form | Usage | |
| HZ | Tooth pitch higher than 4 mm. | |
| BW | Tooth pitch 4 mm or smaller. | |
| CB | Chipbreaker tooth form is most effective for tube and profile cutting, particularly with PVD coated blades. | |
