Why is the Haltbar 501 Bi-Metal Saw Blade recommended for cutting structurals versus a standard 601 Bi-Metal Blade?
We already know that in having a successful cutting process, one must undergo the proper procedure utilizing the correct materials that would fit to a certain workload of an operation. It must have been said many times already that in order to have a smooth operation, it is necessary to use the correct type of blade for certain the materials that are being cut. With this, sometimes we wonder what makes every blade different in such a way that it would match with a specific workload.
One question that many operators might ask is “why do we recommend the 501 bi-metal saw blade in cutting structurals instead of recommending the standard 601 bi-metal blade?”
Compared to a 601 Bi-Metal blade which is intended to be a general purpose cutting blade, the 501 Series -Haltbar IC is a special bi-metal blade that makes short work of bundles and structural shapes. It has a tooth design which reduce vibration and noise levels for smooth, quick cutting and at the same time, prevents chipping and stripping of teeth. The heavy set of teeth that the blade possess provide extra blade clearance to minimize binding or pinching when beam stresses are relieved or put simply, when they move during the cutting process. This is the reason why it is ideal to be use in cutting structurals.
Therefore, to summarize, a smooth cutting process depends on the knowledge of the operator itself not only utilizing the proper procedures and the proper materials but it is also a must that operators know how those materials work along the operation.
