- special shaping of the band saw blade body
FUTURA 718 — Best band saw blade for nickel alloys
Nickel-based alloys are particularly indispensable in the chemical industry, engine design and power generation because they can withstand high mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses. However, processing in production is correspondingly challenging.
WIKUS tackles extremely difficult to machine nickel-based alloys with the FUTURA 718 carbide band saw blade, which offers precise and fast cuts in solid materials made of these superalloys.
- Extremely smooth rounded tooth gap to prevent blade cracking.
- Variable tooth pitch with 5 tooth interval for excellent cutting performance.
- Patented corrugation on the back of the band saw blade.
- Excellent durability is supported by a unique and specially designed band saw blade body.
- Trapezoidal tooth shape with optimized geometry.
- Ground tooth geometry to the tightest tolerances.
- Special refined cutting edge material.
