Tooth Forms & Tooth Geometries

Metal Circular Saw Blades are Ground, according to their application, with different kinds of tooth forms.

Tooth Form “A" And “AW”
For thin Metal Slitting Saw Blades with a tooth pitch up to approx. 3.0mm. Advisable for brass, tooth form “A" is suitable for slotting materials.
All teeth of tooth form “AW” are beveled alternatively.

Tooth Form “B" And “BW”
Suitable for cutting tubes and profiles made of steel or non-ferrous metals. Tooth form "B" is specialized for cutting very thin-walled pipes and profiles. All teeth of tooth form "BW" are beveled alternatively.

Tooth Form HZ
This tooth is also known as form "C.”

Teeth are ground according to the roughing and finishing tooth system.
A tooth pair is consisting of one roughing tooth (1/3 cutting width) and one finishing tooth (2 x 1/3 cutting width). According to the triple chip geometry, the roughing tooth is approx. 0.2 - 0.3mm higher compared with the finishing tooth. Tooth form “HZ “ is suitable for cutting solid materials.

Tooth Form BR
Tooth form BR is a parrot tooth with chip breaker. This tooth form is suitable for cutting pipes under high performance conditions because the teeth are side cutting.
