Question 1

Do I need a metal cutting bandsaw or a metal cutting circular saw?

Accepted Answer

Both metal cutting bandsaws and metal cutting circular saws can be used to cut metals of various types and thicknesses. But which is best for you? If you deal frequently with irregularly shaped and curved materials, then a bandsaw might be best for you, while the metal cutting saw works best with straight lines. Similarly, if you regularly handle thicker materials, the bandsaw is likely to be a better option for you, as circular saws can struggle with diameters above 5-6 inches. If you need personalised recommendations from our range of metal cutting saws, you can call us or drop us an email and we’ll share our expertise with you.

Question 2

Why do metal cutting saws include different speed ranges?

Accepted Answer

The rate the blades move across the cutting material is the band speed, which is sometimes given in Surface Feet Per Minute (SFPM) or more commonly, metres per minute. Different materials and individual thicknesses require different speeds to cut them effectively. As such, increased speed ranges allow you to cut various types of materials, of differing thicknesses. Kendal Tools & Machinery metal cutting bandsaws feature 4-speed gearboxes, making them ideal for metalworkers who use a variety of metals.

Question 4

Why do metal cutting saw blades feature different teeth sizes and shapes?

Accepted Answer

The teeth on a blade dictate many things, including the blade’s application, performance, and how it cuts- usually described by discussing aggressiveness. These factors then specify which material they are best for. The number of teeth dictates its cutting action. The greater the number of teeth, the smoother the cut, and vice versa. The tooth configuration or shape decides its performance. Some teeth are designed to optimise crosscutting, ripping, general cutting, or even cutting specific materials. The angle of teeth determines the aggressiveness of the blade. Blades with teeth that lean forward have a positive hook angle and are classed as more aggressive. Aggressiveness dictates how the blade will cut and pass through the material- the more aggressive, the faster it will process material and the more harshly it will cut.
