7 Helpful Benefits of Stellite Band Saw Blades for Woodworking
When it comes to professional-grade bandsaw blades, strength and reliability are two factors that cannot be ignored. When cutting various materials, it is necessary to ensure the quality of the saw blade, prevent the teeth from falling off and achieve a high-quality surface treatment to reduce the risk of slipping. The vast majority of band saw blades on the market are made from high-grade tempered steel, with additional welded alloys added to enhance cutting capabilities. Treatment of the saw teeth can further increase the strength of the saw blade, and Stellite band saw blades have become an increasingly popular choice. But, what is Stellite?
What is Stellite?
Stellite is a cobalt-based alloy doped with chromium and tungsten. Compared with tungsten carbide, it has a higher hardness coefficient and greater flexibility. The most common application scenario for Stellite band saw blades is wood cutting. The edges of the blades often wear out quickly, and choosing a band saw blade like Stellite will reduce maintenance costs and the possibility of downtime during work.
What are the benefits of using Stellite band saw blades?
Investing in enhancement tools not only improves the quality of your work but also ensures your investment goes further. Some of the key benefits of Stellite alloy tip band saw blades include:
1. Less maintenance.
2. You can buy fewer new blades every year.
3. Longer intervals between sharpenings – up to 16+ hours in many cases.
4. Reduce downtime between jobs due to maintenance.
5. Achieve smooth and precise cutting, with high cutting surface finish.
6. Since the cutting is clean, problems with working parts caused by sawdust are reduced.
7. Allows you to cut hardwood more easily.
