Metal sawing services are just one way that a machine shop performs precision metal cutting in different types of manufacturing Everything depends on the type of metal sawing needed, its size, composition, and end-use.
Sawing, also called “saw cutting,” uses a saw blade with sharp teeth to cut metal and other materials into more controllable and practical shapes and sizes. Using sawing first preps metal into the needed size to produce a specific part. This form of precision metal cutting offers exact cuts to individual specifications with less waste.
Two Types Of Metal Sawing Services
Because metal sawing services offer such precision in metal cutting, they are preferred for a variety of projects. Everything depends on the restrictions and requirements of the individual cutting project.
- Circular saw cutting, uses a round, high-speed spinning blade with sharp teeth along the circumference. Circular saws are designed for reduced vibration and rigidity, making them suitable for both speedier and more precise cutting for rigid metals.
- Both solid high-speed steel (HSS) or tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) blades are called “cold saws,” because most of the heat from the cuts is transferred to the chips, leaving the blades and the workpiece relatively cool. Both types of larger-sized blades can be resharpened and reused many times before discarding.
- Band saw cutting uses a long, straight blade with evenly-spaced teeth on one edge to cut unusual or customized shapes from metal. This type of metal sawing consistently yields uniform cutting and specific, high-precision results.
Both methods have specific advantages: faster turnaround less waste, and high-quality cutting finishes, and the resulting product is ready for further machining, such as CNC.
Machining With Metal Sawing Services
Machining is the process of cutting a piece of raw material into various sizes and shapes to create a final part. Diverse industries such as aerospace, biomedical, automotive, and food and beverage rely on all types of precision metal cutting to design and manufacture needed products.
For parts that only require a straight and simple cut, metal sawing services offer the precision metal cutting needed for machining and fabrication. Sawing also uses less energy than other types of machining. Other key benefits include:
- Improvements in precision and accuracy, improving overall part quality, reduced need for finishing processes, and parts that fit together perfectly during assembly.
- Better productivity and efficiency, with streamlined production flows, reduced labor costs, and eliminating in-house cutting processes.
- These lead to additional cost savings from reduced labor costs, wasted products, and other improvements to efficiency.
These benefits mean that manufacturers can rely on the parts they need to continue designing and creating products for sale.
