Grit

RÖNTGEN grit edged band saw blades are generally applied on materials which will not form a chip. The process is based on abrasive cutting, requiring relatively high band speeds and benefits from the flexible fatigue strength of the backing strip. The faceted carbide granules are very sharp and wear resistant and the band cut direction can be reversed to optimise the use of the cutting faces. A range of grit sizes is available to suit the material application and required cut speed and finish.

Recommended applications

  • For very hard and brittle materials that will not form a chip with toothed blades.
  • Glass filled composites, ceramics, brake pads and linings.
  • Cast metals with cavities and thin walls.
  • Graphite, stone, wire reinforced rubber (tyres and hoses)
