Abracs ABDCB30020 Thorsaw Carbide Cluster Blade 300 x 20mm x 15T

A carbide cluster blade is a type of cutting tool that features multiple carbide-tipped segments arranged in a cluster pattern. These blades are known for their durability, strength, and ability to handle tough materials. Here's an overview of their specifications and applications:

Diameter: 300mm, Bore: 20mm, Thickness: 3.8mm, Teeth: 15

Information

Material:
- Carbide Teeth: Made from tungsten carbide or titanium carbide, known for hardness and wear resistance.
- Body: Typically made from high-strength steel to provide durability and support for the carbide segments.
Design:
- Cluster Pattern: Carbide teeth are arranged in clusters or groups around the circumference of the blade. This pattern helps distribute cutting forces and enhances cutting efficiency.
- Tooth Configuration: Various configurations are available, such as alternating top bevel (ATB), flat top grind (FTG), or triple chip grind (TCG), depending on the intended application.
Size:
- Diameter: Ranges from a few inches to several feet, depending on the tool and application.
- Arbor Size: Standard sizes to fit different machines (e.g., 5/8 inch, 1 inch).
Kerf:
- Width of the Cut: Typically between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch, but can vary based on the blade's design and purpose.

Applications

Carbide cluster blades are versatile and used in a variety of applications across different industries:

Construction:
- Demolition Work: Effective for cutting through nails, screws, and other embedded metals in wood.
- Concrete Cutting: Some blades are designed to cut through reinforced concrete and masonry.
Woodworking:
- Timber Cutting: Ideal for cutting hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials.
- Saw Mills: Used in sawmills for processing logs into lumber.
Metalworking:
- Metal Cutting: Suitable for cutting non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, copper) and certain ferrous metals.
- Recycling: Useful in metal recycling operations for cutting up scrap metal.
Landscaping:
- Brush Clearing: Effective for cutting through thick brush, small trees, and dense vegetation.
Industrial:
- Manufacturing: Used in manufacturing processes that require precise and durable cutting tools.
- Aerospace: Employed in the aerospace industry for cutting tough composite materials and metals.

Advantages

Durability: Carbide tips provide excellent wear resistance and can withstand high cutting temperatures.
Efficiency: The cluster arrangement of the teeth allows for efficient material removal and reduced cutting time.
Versatility: Can handle a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, concrete, and composites.
Precision: Maintains sharpness over time, ensuring clean and precise cuts.

Maintenance and Safety

Sharpening: Requires specialized equipment for sharpening due to the hardness of carbide.
Safety Gear: Operators should wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection.
Machine Compatibility: Ensure the blade is compatible with the cutting machine and securely fastened before use.
