Carbide-tipped saw blade handles austenitic stainless steel tube

Kinkelder offers Connexxioncut 4 (CX4) carbide-tipped saw blades for cutting of 300 series stainless steel tubes from 0.12 to 0.24 in. thick. Based on a constant cutting speed of 262.47 FPM and constant tooth load of 0.002 in./tooth, the blades cut 2.36- by 0.16-in. tube in less than 4 sec., according to the manufacturer. With CNC machines, which allow variable cutting speed and variable feed rate, even shorter cutting times are possible, the company says.

The blades are available in diameters from 8.86 to 24.80 in. for stationary and flying cutoff applications. A minimum cutting speed of 262.47 FPM is required, as well as an automatically governed feed rate by a hydraulic system or by ball screw spindle.
