Tru-Cut Saw Inc manufactures the ‘Aggressor’ range of thin kerf, carbide tipped saw blades for cutting tube, pipe and solid ferrous materials in flying cut- off and re-cutting applications. Available with carbide and cermet inserts, the multi- layered coated blades cut at up to 1,200 SFM and offer performance gains over high-speed steel and friction saws. Test data on a 350mm x 2.8mm x 100 tooth blade (running at 250rpm) showed a 3.7 second cut time. It was able to cut six square metres of 52100 bearing steel. A hooked chip breaker on the face of carbide or cermet inserts allows faster chip removal and more aggressive cutting speeds. The company has its own PVD coating chamber, which allows for the tight control of coating quality and uniformity. This makes possible adjustments for individual user applications. In addition to its Aggressor line of blades, Tru-Cut offers a full range of saw blades and services, including custom and standard carbide tipped saws up to 3m, segmental saws and friction saws, and high speed steel saws from 100-600mm (M2 premium nitrite and M35 Cobalt). The capability also includes solid carbide saws available from stock, repair and regrinding services, and PVD coated drills, taps and milling cutters.
