Our circular Hot Saw blades have redefined hot sawing industries. Through many years of research and development in these applications, we have developed a product that surpasses all others in terms of wear life and performance. Combining superior machinery, craftsmanship and raw material with this product research we offer our high-performance Hot Sawing Blades. We offer tooth configurations and flat surface profiles to suit each application. Flat surfaces may be straight ground or hollow ground and consideration of profile is important for optimum performance.

These saw blades are balanced, dressed and tensioned for regular running with milled teeth and special temper of the tooth as per the tooth profiles. 

We also produce saw tooth and surface profiles to saw builder design, user modified design, and in many situations can offer design advice for improved performance. We are continually refining our production methods and raw materials to increase performance and durability for the future requirements of our customers.

We understand that several of our customers do not have their own saw tooth rehardening machines and hence we offer special alloys that do no require teeth re-hardening at the time of re-sharpening for superior cutting performance. 

Typical material of construction for these blades includes AS-80, AS-45 and AS-65 Steels for optimum price-performance ratios for our customers.

Apex Shears produces our HSS M2 Circular Saw Blades and TCT Circular Saws for Metal Tube and Pipe Cutting operations. Non-ferrous blades are suitable for applications requiring durable cut-off saws running at substantially higher RPM's than ferrous cutting saws. The ferrous metal cutting industry consumes a large number of steam treated, M2 and cobalt HSS saw blades. These blades are specifically suited for use in manual, semiautomatic and fully-automatic sawing operations. All blades are hardened to 64/65 RC, triple tempered and press quenched.

We offer Cobra Saw Blades with Hardness (Vickers): 1500/3000/4000(HV), Oxidation Temperature: 900°C, Friction Coefficient: 0.25/0.50 and Coating Thickness: 3.0 microns. 

Standard Sizes of these blades are usually available on ex-stock basis. However, we welcome annual quantity requirements from our customers. 

For Cold Sawing Applications where Structural Steel, Channels, Angles, Non Ferrous Billets, Bars and Fabrication Applications, we offer our specially designed HSS Segmental Circular Saw Blades.

Our Segmental blades have been designed to meet the requirements of present day high speed cold saws. The segments are made from specially heat-treated high-speed steel and form a closed ring around the saw plate. The saw plates are hardened and tempered  to maintain accuracy throughout the working life of the saw.

These blades are designed to meet the demands of much lower cutting time, tighter tolerances, better finishes, longer blade life, lower down time and reduction in secondary operations resulting in higher productivity for our customers. The Segments are made of High-Speed Steels and are fitted to the Saw body in an overlapping position. These Segments are tempered by using advanced heat treatment methods.

We welcome your specific non standard designs for our considration!.

ALPHA SHEAR BLADES are the CUT-OFF KNIVES for cutting profiles and tubes. The cutting effect of alpha cutters is achieved with combination of high pressure and high speed. Burr free cut of highest precision should be achieved and the cut profile should be free of deformation. Very short cutting times enable using these alpha cutters shear blades not only in stationary machines, but also in production lines during continuous cutting. In standard modification Alpha Cutters - alpha shear blades are made with PVD coating to prolong their lifetime, decrease friction coefficient and to avoid cool surfacing. These tools aren't standardized at all, that's why they are always tailored. For making the offer sending the drawing or sample is enough.

Unlike abrasive wheels, which hack a path through materials and generate heat, smoke and debris that can contaminate hydraulic cutting systems, these  punch type tube cutter are impact cutting and hardened blades to slice cleanly through the work eliminating large volumes of waste.

Raw materials used in manufacturing of Alfa cutters for tube cutting and profile cutting is made from imported high speed steel [HSS m2] and moves up and down at high speed for throughout the cutting process. 

Hardness retention is a very key factor in designing a Alfa cutter for tube and profile cutting since the cutting operation is applied in hot applications. We use high quality steel which has to pass all quality test before its used to manufacture Alfa cutter for tube cutting and profile slitting. High Speed Steel  is used due to its property to sustain high operating temperatures without losing its temper (hardness) allows Alfa cutter in punch type tube cut off slitting process and to cut faster than other tool steels.
