Carbide Tipped Band Saw Blade

The best carbide band saw blade for cutting induction hardened shafts, linear bearing shafts, and case hardened materials up to HRC 65. 

We have done extensive testing and our blade product outperforms ALL other blades on the market two to one.  It is awesome!

 Surface hardened component cutting has always been extremely difficult  to cut.  Previously, the best option was using an abrasive wheel.  This process was loud, messy, and created environmental hazards that companies needed to get away from.

Advances in our carbide band saw blade technology specifically for this application have resulted in huge cost savings and production advances for our band saw blade customers.  Our product needs to be run in a specific way to get the best results.  We recommend running the blades at 400-425 surface feet per minute.  If your saw is not capable of that speed, run it as fast as you can.  Reducing the flood coolant on your saw is highly recommended for blade life.  See the video of proper coolant flow on this application. 

 

Too much coolant will cause the carbide teeth to fracture prematurely.  Cutting this material dry will create unwanted heat to build up in the blade guides.  A light drip will provide lubricity and optimal blade life.

Proper blade tracking

There are many variables that can lead to crooked cuts when using band saw blades.  These common causes include worn or improper blade guides, too many teeth in the cut, feed pressure that is too high, low band tension, a fixed vise that is not square or a saw table that is not level with the blade, and last but not least- improper blade tracking.  Attached is a picture of how a blade SHOULD look like as it sits on the wheels.  Notice how the teeth are not riding on the wheel?  If the teeth of a band saw blade ride too far back and come in contact with the drive wheel or idler wheel, the set is damaged.  This will lead to a blade cutting crooked as well as premature wear on the wheels themselves.  Setting your blade tracking is a fairly easy procedure on most band saws, and will need to be adjusted periodically.  If you have questions, need us to help with your tracking, or need assistance with anything related to band sawing- call me!

Hyd-Mech bandsaws, no lead times!

I just wanted to let you know that when you were talking, I was listening. Too many times when quoting a Hyd-Mech band saw things were going smoothly until the dreaded conversation regarding lead time. Was that a pin drop I heard after telling you the saw would be ready in 17-24 weeks? We live in a world that when we want something, we want it now (guilty as charged!). In an effort to comply with the high demand of Hyd-Mech saws, Detroit Band Saw has purchased three brand new machines that are waiting and ready to be put on your shop floor.

S-20: The S-20 is Manual saw with a swing head design is ideal for use in tight working spaces. This saw is perfect for light or medium duty applications

S-20P: The S-20P is a semi-automatic miter head saw that is also perfect for light or medium duty applications. This machine has an LCD display to show: the machine mode, pieces cut, blade tension, blade speed, amperage draw of blade motor, cut duration, overall machine run time and head position.

H-14A: The H-14A is a fully automatic horizontal band saw. We purchased this machine with the following options: Hydraulic Overhead Bundling, Laser Light, and Variable Vise Pressure. The H-14A provides a 90 degree cutting angle. This machine is perfect for medium to heavy-duty applications.

If you have any questions, concerns, or would like a quote, give me a call--I'd be happy to help.

Keep Cutting,

Joe Bandsaw
