Metal Cold Saw Blades

For standard structural steel, mild steel pipes, and box sections, M2 HSS provides excellent toughness and value. If you are cutting stainless steel (304, 316), high-tensile steel, or using high-speed automatic saws, you must upgrade to M35. M35 contains 5% Cobalt, which prevents the teeth from softening under high friction heat.

The golden rule of cold sawing is to always have 3 to 4 teeth simultaneously engaged in the material thickness. If you are cutting thin-walled tubes (e.g., 1.5 mm wall), you need a fine pitch (high tooth count, e.g., 220Z or 240Z) to prevent the teeth from hooking and snapping. If you are cutting thick solid bars (e.g., 40 mm solid), you need a coarse pitch (low tooth count, e.g., 120Z) to allow room for the massive metal chips to escape.

Yes. This is the biggest advantage of HSS cold saw blades. Unlike abrasive discs that are thrown away, an HSS blade can be CNC-resharpened 10 to 15 times before the diameter becomes too small to use. We offer professional regrinding and recoating services to restore factory-new performance.

Absolutely. You must use a flood coolant (water-soluble synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, mixed at about 8–10%) directed right at the cutting teeth. Coolant flushes away the metal chips and keeps the blade cool. Cutting dry with an HSS blade will burn the teeth instantly. Only specialized TCT blades on high-end machines are designed for dry cutting.
