NEW – Wave Bandsaw Blades

New – WaveMaster Band saw blade

The concept of having a wave on the back-edge of a band saw blade has been around for decades but never really taken off in the UK steel sawing market.

Over the past few years our dedicated application engineers have been working hard researching what effect the waved band saw blade can have on the tool life whether that is carbide tipped or bi-metal.

Our experiences have shown that tool life and cutting speeds can be dramatically increased when cutting hard nickel based alloys such as Inconel 718, Inconel 625, titanium and stainless steel.

The increased tool life reduces down-time, tool changes, scrapping material and reduces cost per cut.

Reduced cutting times enable our customers to increase productivity, reduce operational and energy costs.

The unique sawing action created when engineering a chamfer (wave) helps the tooth to penetrate in to the material without any extra pressure from the band saw machine.

We’re the only band saw blade supplier in the UK with a dedicated in-house wave machine, this allows us to engineer various wave depths and lengths to provide a dedicated solution to meet the customers requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are “wave” or “waved-back” bandsaw blades?

A “wave” or “waved-back” bandsaw blade is designed with an undulating profile (imitating a wave form) along the back edge of the blade. This unique shape improves cutting efficiency by helping the teeth penetrate material more easily without adding extra pressure onto the blade.

How does a waved bandsaw blade differ from a conventional straight-back blade?

The design of a conventional straight-back blade offers a flat, uniform back strip. In contrast, the waved bandsaw blade offers a uniquely shaped chamfer/wave-design along the back edge of the blade, reducing overall pressure on the blade, and resulting in a much smoother cutting action.

Which materials and alloys are wave bandsaw blades particularly suited for?

Wave bandsaw blades are best-suited for cutting challenging, high-stress materials that require precision and maximum stability. Particularly well-suited for tougher metals such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys and large-section billets, a wave bandsaw blade effortlessly cuts, maintaining a high performance even under extreme conditions.
