Saw Blades

CERMET tooth blades: redefining metal cutting
In the realm of metalworking, where the relentless pursuit of perfection and cutting-edge efficiency has given rise to a revolution in cutting tools—enter stage—the mighty cermet tooth saw blades, read to slice through the most intimidating of metals! Buckle up as we explore the composition of cermet, identify its superiority, and explore its applications in the dynamic universe of metal cutting.

A bimetal saw blade, as the name suggests, is composed of two different types of metals bonded together to form a single blade. Typically, the blade’s body is made of a flexible and durable spring steel, while the teeth or cutting edge are formed using a high-speed steel (HSS) or cobalt alloy.

A good quality carbide blade can be sharpened 3-4 times before some or all the teeth need to be replaced and sharpening is a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new blade. So, as long as your blade is not warped or severely damaged, the blade should be sharpened. Now, the question is should you do it yourself or what other options do you have?

EAB Exchange-A-Blade has recently introduced a fabulous new line of metal cutting diamond blades. These blades perform similar to traditional abrasive wheels but offer very fast cutting through both ferrous metal and non-ferrous metals and last much longer with more than 40 times the life of traditional abrasive wheels.

So you’re getting ready to use a saw blade to cut a substrate. You know the diameter of the blade that will fit your saw, and you know the type of blade you need to cut your material, but how do you know how many teeth your blade needs to have?
