Description

20″ Steel Crosscut Blade for Radial Arm Saws and Beam Saws

The 20″ Steel Crosscut Blade from Original Saw Company is a friction blade specifically designed for Radial Arm and Beam Saws. The saw blade provides outstanding results when cutting thin sections of mild steel. This blade uses friction to saw through ferrous metal, requiring a fine-tooth design and high arbor speed. It is suited for industrial applications, particularly on saws equipped with large motors and secure clamping fixtures. By burning through stock, the friction blade removes globules of metal instead of chips. Some burring of the material is possible.

Key Features of the 20″ Steel Crosscut Blade

  • Friction Cutting Technology: Delivers cuts on mild steel by using friction to slice through metal, ideal for thin sections.
  • Superior to Abrasive Wheels: Outperforms abrasive wheels in finish quality and cutting life, making it ideal for precise metal fabrication.
  • Industrial Requirements: Operates best on industrial saws with high-speed arbors, large motors, and secure clamping for safety and precision.
  • Versatile Applications: Perfect for cutting hollow metal doors, steel tubes, structural shapes, and performing angle cuts with ease.
  • American-Made Quality: Proudly manufactured in the USA, engineered for durability and consistent performance in demanding environments.

Specifications for the 20″ Steel Crosscut Blade

  • Blade Diameter: 20″
  • Tooth Count: 300
  • Bore Size: 1″
  • Material: HSS (High-Speed Steel) for ferrous cutting
  • Kerf: .187″
  • Hook Angle: 0 Degrees

Important Usage Notes for Optimal Performance

Friction saw blades should be sharpened frequently to maintain cutting quality and prevent excessive burring. This blade is intended for use with the Original Saw Company 20″ Super Duty Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saw and 20″ Beam Saw, offering reliability for demanding metal-cutting tasks.

What types of materials can a saw blade for steel cut?

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.

What is friction cutting, and how does it compare to cutting with abrasive wheels?

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.

Can steel cutting blades be sharpened?

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.

What is High-Speed Steel (HSS), and how does it differ from carbide blades?

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.

Are there special safety precautions when using steel cutting blades?

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.
