Timber
The operational time of a wood bandsaw blade is considerably increased by tipping the teeth with Stellite®. Traditionally Stellite tipped bandsaws were used for cutting hardwoods, but they have also been proven on softer woods such as Fir & Pine.
The Stellite tipped teeth give better surface finishes and considerably longer operational times. Although Stellite has a lower hardness than cemented carbide, it has greater wear resistance and it is tough enough to withstand shocks caused by knots, nails etc.
The most commonly used alloy for tipping Bandsaws is Stellite® 12. However for more exotic woods with high silicon compound contents Stellite® 1 can also work well.
Stellite® in the Timber industry is normally supplied in Rod form. |
