CX 3

High performance tube cutting

The CX 3 saw blade has been developed for cutting tubes on high performance automatic sawing machines, at a higher maximum cutting speed than with HSS saw blades. It is most effective on sawing machines with accurate control of chip load and variable feed rate.

Applications:

  • Cutting steel tubes with a tensile strength between 600 – 1500 N/mm2
  • Suggested cutting speed: 180 – 280 m/min
  • Feed: 0,04 – 0,16 mm/tooth
  • Machines: Rattunde, Sinico, Bewo, RSA, Plantool, Adige, OMP
