What is a cold saw?
Cold saws are saws that use a circular saw blade to cut different types of metals, including sheet metal. The name of the saw is related to the action that takes place during the cutting process that can prevent metal and blade from becoming too hot. The cold saw is powered by electricity and is usually a stationary type of machine rather than a portable type of saw. Steel blades of this type are resistant to wear and everyday use. The final result is that it is possible to complete a number of cutting projects before the blade needs to be replaced. High -speed steel blades are particularly useful when the saws are used to cut thicker metal parts.
Together with high -speed steel blades, a cold saw can also be equipped with a blade that is tilted with tungsten carbide. This type of blade design also helps the need for sis and tears. One of the main differences is that the blades of tungsten tungsten can sometimes be wallled again, extending the life of the blade. This type of bladeE is suitable for use with metal metal and other metal components that are relatively thin in design.
One of the advantages of using a cold saw is that metal and blade remain relatively cool during cutting. This is because of the way in which the cutting occurs. The blade design allows cutting to focus on chips created during the action. The chips act as a buffer without disturbing the cutting action. As a result, chips tend to collect heat generated by cut. This leaves the blade and metal at a lower temperature.
In support of cutting on chips that are created with the configuration of the blade tooth configuration, a cold pile connection is usually used with some type of coolant system that allows the fluid to run through the blade during use. This action helps to cool the blade during use and also helps to minimize dust and sparks during the cutting action.
