Carbon Bandsaw Blades
Choosing the right bandsaw blade for the job depends on the materials to be cut, and understanding the reasons why one blade is best over another will help to assure prolonged blade life. It will depend on the type of bandsaw, its current condition, the materials to be cut, and how they will be cut. Relying on one blade for every purpose won’t work and isn’t a good idea, especially if cost factors are an issue and quality is a goal. It is impossible for one blade to serve every purpose, so to assure that the perfect blade is being utilized, and to achieve optimum …
Trajan 250S Bandsaw
The Trajan 250S is an efficient horizontal bandsaw designed to cut metal and is frequently seen being used inside well-equipped machine shops. The 250S is a horizontal model with a standard heavyweight machining table that helps to eliminate vibration. It also features a heavyweight steel base, horizontally mounted guide arms, and adjustable Carbide blade guide, and rollers guides. A miter vise holds the material to be cut while the bandsaw blade passes through the metal. The vise is hand wheel operated for speedy change of material sizes and shapes. The 250S is a heavy-duty bandsaw with a manual swivel head and variable speed. It …
Treating Steel
Treating steel is the controlled heating and cooling process used to structurally change and alter the physical and mechanical properties of the material. This process will also occur when steel is being welded, or due to manufacturing processes that either heat or cool metals. The amount of heat is measured by the temperature of the treated steel. Proper heating requires precise control of temperature and uses heat or cold — usually to extremes in either case — in order to achieve a desired result, which is the hardening or softening of a material. Steels are an iron and carbon alloy, and while all metals …
Effective Stainless Steel Cutting
Effective Stainless Steel Cutting Most band saw blades fail due to lack of break-in procedure, the feed system is not working correctly, there are too many or too few teeth on the cut, or because of the use of the wrong saw blade for the material to be cut. In order to help achieve an effective cut of stainless steels, please consider the following: Use of the proper saw blade Speed rate and Feed rate The number of teeth in the saw blade Break-in procedure of the saw blade The best saw blades to use for the proper and effective cutting of stainless …
