M42 COBALT HSS BAND SAW BLADES

For Structural Steel with M-42 Edge


Which has both Strength against Tooth Chipping and High Wear Resistance

Features
■ M42 Cobalt High-Speed Steel Edge. PROTECTOR EX
M42 cobalt high-speed steel provides superior wear resistance.
Being treated with Amada’s unique heat treatment technology,
this steel exhibits a performance that is highest in the class.
It is broadly suitable for cutting general steel through
hard-to-cut materials. Tooth Type: Protector Tooth Shape
Edge Material: Amada Modified M42 HSS
■ Unique Design Tooth Form
Hardness: 900HV
PROTECTOR added on the back face of the tooth tip
Wear Resistance:
suppresses excessive cutting and prevents continuous chipping
Chipping Resistance:
from occurring.
■ Positive Rake Tooth Angle
■ Strong Tooth Profile
As the tooth tip is made stronger, it endures impacts caused
during intermittent cutting. At the same time, high cutting
efficiency is assured.
■ Set Design
The broaching style set pattern was designed to eliminate
pinching, therefore preventing the blade from binding in the cut.

Advantages
■ Extra Tough Shock Resistance
■ Extra Tough Tooth Strippage Resistance
■ Extra Fast Cutting on Structural Steel
■ Extra Long Life in Interrupted Structural Cutting

PROTECTOR II Integrates the robust blade design standards
and features, highly effective at preventing tooth damage or loss;
due to excessive vibration, pinching, and interrupted cutting
associated with cutting structural steel materials. Tooth Type: Protector II Tooth Shape
Edge Material: M42 Cobalt HSS

Features Hardness: 950HV


Wear Resistance:
■ Protection from Tooth Chipping Chipping Resistance:
The “protector” located on the relief face of tooth, reinforces the tooth tip,
preventing excessive cutting, and tooth damage or loss. Producing superior high cutting efficiency.
■ Elimination of Break-In Cutting
On the PROTECTOR series a special treatment of the cutting surfaces, eliminates the need for blade
break-in. This blade can be run using normal cutting parameters from beginning.

New Features
■ New Tooth Set Patterns & Shape
Decreased burr formation. Reduced time spent deburring parts after cutting completed.
tector
■ M42 High Speed Steel Edge and Chip Curler Tooth Form
Chip curler
Improved blade life, M42 HSS edge resist heat and abrasion. Chip Curler improves chip
removal and reduces impact on the bottom of the gullet, improving blade life and cut finish. M42 cobalt HSS
■ Coating Options

AMADA MODIFIED M42 HSS BAND SAW BLADES

General purpose Matrix Bi-Metal blade

General Purpose Matrix Bi-Metal Blade for Metal Cutting Band Saw

• The MGLB is best suited for cutting structural shapes,


tubing and stacks of mild steel pieces. The MGLB MGLB
allows band saw machines to cut a wide range of
material sizes and shapes without requiring a change
of blades. Its tough high-speed steel teeth resist
chipping, stripping and abrasion. It can also tolerate
the occasional improper speeds and feeds that are
often used by inexperienced saw operators.

Features
■ Hardness of HRC67-68
■ Matrix cobalt high speed steel edge
■ Specially designed tooth form
■ Wide Set available
When a roll-formed large-size I-beam is cut, stress relieving may occur, pinching the blade. In order to prevent
damage to the blade, a “WS” (Wide Set) type is available for MGLB.

adopting metal-bonded diamond chips

1 Process Improvement with a High-Grade Finish


Diamond-supported grinding and cutting contribute to
high-accuracy cut faces and reduced burdens on subsequent
processes.

2 Adoption of Diamond Tips that Overturns the


Conventional Concept
Long-Standing, Stable Sharpness can be maintained thanks
to the autogenous (self-sharpening) action of Diamond abra-
sive grains.

3 High-Class New Materials Can be Cut


without Waste
Compared with other cutting methods, this blade can cut
materials at high speed and with a shorter time but requires a
smaller cutting margin.

materials that are hard and prone to chip.
• Suitable for cutting of small-diameter materials.

2 Segment Type
• Loading is minimized by segmenting the shape of the Segment Type

electrode posited portion.


• The cutting efficiency of the segment type is higher than that
of the flat type.

3 Wave Type
• The cutting edge is provided with gullet to improve cutting
chip removal performance. Wave Type
• The wave type can cut large-size materials at higher speed
than the segment type.
