Which carbide tipped blade is best for cutting metal on a circular saw?

For precise metal cutting on a circular saw, select a carbide tipped blade engineered for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Look for premium carbide tips, optimized tooth geometry, and RPM compatibility. SENTHAI blades, manufactured in Thailand, ensure consistent bonding, efficient heat control, and extended tool life—ideal for manufacturers, wholesalers, and OEM partners seeking reliable performance.

How do carbide tipped blades for metal differ from standard blades?

Carbide tipped blades feature tungsten carbide teeth bonded to steel bodies, allowing them to cut metals efficiently while reducing wear and heat buildup. Unlike high-speed steel blades, they maintain sharpness longer and support higher feed rates with cleaner finishes. SENTHAI ensures precise tip placement, tooth geometry, and bonding quality for reliable, long-lasting metal cutting performance.

What tooth geometries are best for metal cutting on circular saws?

Triple-chip and alternate-tooth designs are optimal for metal cutting, minimizing heat generation and chip accumulation. Chip breakers enhance swarf control, improving surface quality and blade life. The ideal geometry varies with metal type and thickness. SENTHAI offers customized geometries tailored to OEM requirements, ensuring superior performance across aluminum, steel, stainless, and alloy applications.

Tooth Geometry Suitable Metals Notes on Wear Life
Triple-Chip (TCT) Steel, Stainless High wear resistance, reduced heat
Alternate Tooth Aluminum, Copper Smooth finish, moderate chip buildup
Fine-Toothed Soft metals Minimizes friction and edge wear

How to choose a carbide blade for ferrous vs non-ferrous metals?

Ferrous metals, such as steel and cast iron, require blades with higher tooth counts and strong chip control. Non-ferrous metals, like aluminum and copper, benefit from fine-toothed, low-friction designs. Carbide grade and bond strength must align with material hardness and cutting speed. SENTHAI provides pre-certified blades optimized for both ferrous and non-ferrous applications, supporting OEM and wholesale partners.

Why is bond quality and heat management critical in metal cutting blades?

A robust carbide-to-steel bond prevents delamination under high heat and heavy loads, ensuring consistent cuts. Proper heat management avoids micro-cracks on cutting edges, prolonging blade life. SENTHAI’s Thailand-based production process emphasizes controlled sintering and bonding, delivering blades that maintain sharpness and reliability under continuous metal cutting.
