What does it take to cut through an HRC61 hardened steel round bar?
For most band saw blades, this is where teeth strip, blades wander, and cutting times spiral. For our bimetal band saw blade, it's just another day on the test bench.
🎥 In this live cutting test:
▪️ Material: Hardened steel round bar, HRC61 — a hardness level that defeats ordinary blades in seconds
▪️ Cutting time: just ~12 seconds from first contact to a clean, complete cut
▪️ Result: a mirror-smooth cut surface — no burning, no chipping, no secondary finishing needed
What's behind this performance?
🔹 Premium bimetal construction — high-speed steel teeth electron-beam welded to a flexible alloy spring steel backing, combining extreme tooth hardness with fatigue-resistant flexibility
🔹 Precision-ground tooth geometry — optimized rake angle and set pattern for aggressive, straight cutting in hard and work-hardening materials
🔹 Superior heat resistance — the teeth hold their edge where sparks fly, cut after cut
Hardened steels, tool steels, stainless, superalloys — if your saw is slowing down your production line, the blade is usually the cheapest problem to fix and the most expensive one to ignore.
