Tube & Profile Cutting

The steps to reach the right blade-and-machine combination for your material, section and throughput.

1. 1

   Identify the material and section

   Determine whether it is carbon steel, stainless or aluminium, and confirm tube diameter, wall thickness and profile size. Each material calls for a different tooth design and cutting speed.

2. 2

   Select the blade type and coating

   For high-strength steel and thick walls choose Kampmann PVD-coated carbide blades (EASYCAT S, STARBLADE); the solid-carbide ROYAL TC for thin-walled profiles; and cermet blades for superior surface finish.

3. 3

   Match the machine capacity

   Choose a Torsel automatic circular saw machine sized to your section and throughput, and select a solution for stationary or flying (mitlaufende) cut-off as needed.

4. 4

   Set tooth count and cutting parameters

   Set tooth count, cutting speed and feed to the wall thickness and required surface finish. Correct parameters give burr-free cuts and long tool life.

5. 5

   Plan sharpening and service
