Die Cast Steel: Cut it Using a Band Saw
Die cast metals are made by forcing molten metal under high pressure into reusable metal dies or die cavities. This process requires a high degree of precision. It also means that die cast metals require specific cutting techniques. Band Saws and Die Cast Metals Cutting die cast metals can be performed with a band saw machine. Most of these materials are soft, but the heat and pressure from die casting produces thin wall of castings. These castings are much stronger and lighter than other casting methods. Therefore, we advise using blades with finer tooth pitch to cut dies. Die cast …
Cutting Inconel with a Band Saw
Inconel is a family of nickel superalloys that contain chromium and iron. They are highly resistant to corrosion, carbonization, and oxidation. Their strength comes from the stiffening effects of molybdenum and niobium on its nickel-chromium matrix. These additional elements mean Inconel has tremendous resistance to corrosive environments. While useful, these properties make shaping, machining, and cutting Inconel very difficult — even when using traditional techniques to get the job done. Choosing a Band Saw for Cutting Inconel Inconel is processed into smaller piecse using band saws and circular saws. Band saws are the best tool for the job if cutting Inconel …
Reciprocating Saws
A reciprocating saw, derived from the word reciprocate, meaning to move backward and forward in a straight line, is a type of saw in which the cutting action is achieved through a push and pull reciprocating motion of the blade. Reciprocating saws cut through just about everything short of a rock. It’s the go-to tool for remodeling and demolition. With a recip saw you can cut through lumber even if it’s embedded with nails. It can also cut all common forms of metal: steel, aluminum, copper, and cast iron. But to get the most out of your tool, you’ll need …
Cutting P 110 Structural Steel
P 110 steel is a pipe casing that uses P 110 material made from the highest grade of steel, which is indicated by a white band painted on the finish. When cutting structural-shaped materials, choosing a specific blade designed for that particular job is necessary. It is important to take the uneven structure of the material being cut into consideration, along with TPI requirements. At Sawblade.com, we offer the Q 501 IC bandsaw blade, which is specifically engineered to effectively cut structural materials into various shapes such as bundled tubes, beams, and small solids, like P 110 steel. The blade’s performance, whether …
Reciprocating versus Bandsaw
Bandsaw machines are different than reciprocating saws when it comes to the cutting process motion. Compared to a bandsaw machine, which forms a continuous loop of band using a bandsaw blade to perform the cut, the reciprocating saw’s cutting action is achieved through a push/pull reciprocating blade motion. The reciprocating saw is similar to a jigsaw. The user rests his foot against the cutting surface in order to counter the blade’s tendency to push away from or pull towards the cut as the blade travels through its cycle. Most bandsaw machines are found in job shops or any shops that deal with metal cutting …
Reciprocating Saws
Back in 1951, The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp manufactured the first reciprocating saw and is commonly referred to as a Sawzall. The Sawzall has a long D-shaped handle and requires both hands to operate. It weighs around 10 lbs, which helps to minimize vibration and provide improved grip. The Sawzall normally has a variable speed trigger and/or controller for simple change of speed if needed. The term reciprocating saw (oscillating saw) applies to any saw that cuts using a back & forth motion. These include the jigsaw, the scroll saw, the saber saw, and the rotary reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw operates using different blade types: bi-metal, …
