EN ISO 4875-3 Metal Cutting Band Saw Blades - Part 3: Features for Each Blade Type

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 4875-3 testing. This International standard defines the various types of blades for metal cutting band saws as a function of the materials used for their manufacture and indicates dimensions selected from the ranges defined in EN ISO 4875-1.

The blades are made with a cutting edge from a different material (normally high speed steel) from the back, the edge is combined with a support of low alloy steel.

Blades made of fatigue-resistant steel for cutting with heat from friction. Therefore, the main functions of the teeth are to generate the necessary heat and to remove the air needed to support combustion. Friction saws are generally operated at speeds in excess of 40 m/s (8 000 ft/min) on machines with sufficient speed.

Standard band saw blades for cutting metal are designed for occasional use such as maintenance tasks and short run production. Metal cutting band saw blades are welded to form a continuous loop and have a single cutting edge that cuts as the blade rotates down through the workpiece. Blade material and tooth geometry are optimized for cutting specific materials.
