What is a chip saw?
A chip saw refers to a rotating blade that has carbide tips attached at regular intervals to a steel disc. It is used for cutting materials such as aluminum and wood.
In aluminum cutting, the use of tungsten carbide (hard alloy) at the cutting edge has become mainstream due to its beauty, efficiency, and safety from the perspective of the cutting surface. ▶️ Basic Elements of Structure The saw blade mainly consists of the following components: ✅ Saw Base (Blade Body): A steel disc that serves as the core part responsible for rotation and support during cutting. ✅ Carbide Tip (Cutting Edge): Cutting edges made of hard alloy attached around the saw body, designed with angles and shapes suited to the material. ✅ Center Hole (Inner Diameter): A hole for mounting on the machine spindle. ✅ Slits (Cuts): Features designed to absorb vibration and suppress thermal expansion. ▶️ Tip Material | Why is "Carbide" Used? Aluminum is a soft material that easily generates frictional heat. Therefore, the material of the cutting edge requires the following properties: ✅ High Hardness (Resistant to Wear) ✅ Heat Resistance (Resistant to Deformation and Damage from Heat) ✅ Chemical Stability (Resistant to Welding) The tungsten carbide-based "carbide tip" meets these requirements. It excels in wear resistance and lifespan, and can also be used for materials other than aluminum, such as brass, copper, and plastic.
