Cold Cut Saw Vs Abrasive

The best part of an hss blade is that it can be re sharpened.

Cold cut saw vs abrasive.

Cold saws cut material faster than an abrasive blade chop saw. The metal getting cut therefore remains relatively cool or in a cold state. The main difference between cold saws and chop saws is that the latter uses toothed steel blades while the chop saw uses abrasive wheels. Both types of saws create cuts on metal by the user placing a spinning circular saw blade down onto the material that you are working on in a short controlled motion guiding it.

Some cold saws use coolant fluid to transfer heat from the metal to the filings produced by the cutting process. If the sharpening process is done correctly you can get one blade re sharpened 15 to 20 times before the diameter shrinks too far to be used on your machine. Round and 4 1 8in. The ironton 15 amp 14in.

Instead of using the abrasive disk of normal chop saws a cold cut saw relies on a metal blade with tungsten carbide tips. When an abrasive blade wears down it gets thrown out in the trash while a cold saw can be sharpened. Similar to dry saws cold saws make clean cuts with little to no burred edge. It is capable of cutting up to 4 3 4in.

Dry cut metal saw is powerful enough to cut pipe angle iron conduit and more. The main difference between the two is the liquid coolant used by cold saws. Cold cut saws are able to keep the temperature of the blade and the material it is cutting at a minimum. This gives them the advantage of creating fewer sparks less discoloration and accumulate less dust.
