The 16″ Steel Crosscut Blade for Radial Arm Saws and Beam Saws from Original Saw Company is a friction saw blade. This blade provides exceptional results when cutting thin sections of mild steel. Designed for use on Radial Arm Saws and Beam Saws, this blade is ideal for demanding metal-cutting applications that require precision and durability.
This blade’s friction-based cutting process burns through stock, removing globules of metal rather than chips. This process may result in some burring. To maintain optimal performance and prevent excessive burring, friction blades should be sharpened frequently. For best results, use with the Original Saw Company 16″ Super Duty Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saw or 16″ Beam Saw.
The 16″ Steel Crosscut Blade for Radial Arm Saws and Beam Saws maximizes efficiency and cutting life in industrial applications. The blade provides reliable, high-quality results on Original Saw Company equipment.

Steel cutting saw blades cut ferrous metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and carbon steel. These blades feature a design that withstands the density and toughness of steel and makes precise, efficient cuts. Using the right blade for steel prevents excessive wear, extends blade life, and produces smoother, more accurate cuts on these heavy duty metals.
Friction cutting is a process where high-speed rotation generates intense heat to melt through metal. It’s commonly used on ferrous materials, allowing efficient cuts on thick steel with minimal physical wear on the blade. Unlike abrasive wheels, which wear down with use, friction cutting blades often last longer and provide more controlled cuts.
Yes, most steel cutting blades, especially those made from high-speed steel (HSS), can be sharpened multiple times. Regular sharpening extends the blade’s lifespan and maintains cutting efficiency.
High-speed steel (HSS) blades are engineered to withstand high temperatures without losing hardness, making them ideal for cutting metals like steel. HSS blades are highly durable and can be resharpened, providing excellent long-term performance. In contrast, carbide-tipped blades have harder cutting edges that stay sharp longer and are suitable for specific metal-cutting tasks. However, they are more brittle than HSS, making them less ideal for all-purpose steel cutting.
Yes, steel cutting generates heat, sparks, and metal debris. Always wear appropriate eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection. Secure the material firmly to prevent movement during cuts. Consider using a Pneumatic Clamping System for added stability.
