Wikus PROFLEX®SW Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade

PROFLEX® SW M42 Special wide set tooth for profiles with residual stressThermal influences or plastic deformation can cause residual stresses in semi-finished products, especially in profiles. When these tensions are released during the sawing process, jamming of a conventional band saw blade in the cutting channel often occurs.The PROFLEX® SW M42 is the result of innovative development work by WIKUS. The extra wide special set means that profiles and girders with residual stresses can be separated without any problems. The bimetal band saw blade has impressive performance, especially in steel construction and in cutting industrial profile blanks.The PROFLEX® SW M42 is equipped with a special profile tooth form in addition to the special SW set width, which is specially adapted to materials with residual stress.Standard set width compared to special set width SW: The extra wide set increases the free cut of the band saw blade so that there is more clearance to prevent jamming due to released material residual stress.

See slide show above.About the profile tooth form: The tooth features a positive cutting angle and a reinforced tooth back. These factors reduce susceptibility to tooth breakage and vibration when sawing profiles.
