M42 COBALT HSS BAND SAW BLADES
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
