Diamond coated band saw blades
As the hardest material known to man, diamonds are capable of cutting any material, as well as alloys
As the hardest material known to man, diamonds are capable of cutting any material, as well as alloys.
The unique properties of the backing materials developed for WIKUS are perfectly suited for standing up to the stress these extremely high cutting speeds cause.
Due to the rather unique applications of DIAGRIT®, we generally recommend that you contact us for advice on grain sizes to coordinate combinations of grain size and diameter of the blade to suit your application.
The backing material of our complete DIAGRIT® program will be adapted to stainless special steel.
CBN-coated band saw blades
“Cubic boron nitride is the second hardest material known, are perfectly suited for standing up to the stress these extremely high cutting speeds cause.”
WIKUS expands its portfolio of the coated band saw blades by the new product CUBOGRIT® which uses cubic boron nitride (CBN) as cutting material. Cubic boron nitride is the second hardest material known. Besides a high hardness and strength, also thermal and chemical resistance are its properties.
The unique properties of the backing materials developed for WIKUS are perfectly suited for standing up to the stress these extremely high cutting speeds cause.
In order to achieve an optimal and efficient result for your sawing applications, we will be gladly prepared to advise you on the possible combinations regarding the grain sizes, band saw blade dimensions as well as operating and basic conditions of CUBOGRIT®. Our experts of the technical customer care will gladly get in contact with you.
