Guide-to-Use-TCT-Carbide-Saw-Blades

Carbide saw blades are generally selected for woodworking saw blades, which are the most commonly used cutting tools for wood product processing. The quality of carbide saw blades is closely related to the quality of processed products. How to use carbide circular saw blades correctly has a very important impact on subsequent processing. Today, I will talk about several points that we should pay attention to in the use of TCT circular saw blades, hoping to make some help for you.

  1. The carbide tip of the TCT saw blade has a sharp and brittle and easy to damage cutting edge. Therefore, the carbide tips must be carefully protected from damage during the moving, installation and removing of the saw blade.
  2. Check the woodworking machinery’s main shaft for deformation, vibration, axis deflection and other important parameters, to avoid unstable machinery from affecting the cutting quality, and regularly check the machine main shaft’s radial runout (0.02mm) and deviation (0.01mm).
  3. The sawdust on the spindle and flange must be removed before the saw blade is installed. The flange surface should be flat and clean, and intersect the shaft perpendicularly.
  4. Use the largest possible flange to make the saw blade run more smoothly. The size of the flange should be the same, and the size of the flange should be 1/3 of the diameter of the saw blade (the thin saw blade should use 1/2D flange) , The sawing effect is better (especially thin saw blades).
  5. The saw blade should be idling for 30 seconds after the installation is stable, and then start cutting work after confirming that everything is normal.
  6. While mounting the saw blade, the flange nut must be moderately tight. If the saw blade is too loose, it will slip during rotating cutting. If the saw blade is too tight, internal damage or deformation will affect the cutting effect.
  7. Before cutting the saw blade, the operator must wear protective equipment (protective glasses, dust mask, safety helmet, protective gloves) and check whether the saw machine protective cover is intact.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not make a mistake. If you want to use all kinds of machinery, you must first understand the tools used in processing. It is the most convenient way to learn directly from the supplier, so if you have any questions about carbide circular saw blades, please feel free to contact us UKO.
