Simonds Carbide Band Saw Blades
If you have a tough or abrasive sawing application, or if high surface finish quality
is critical, turn to the inventor of the Carbide Tipped band saw blade - Simonds. We first
introduced the carbide tipped blade back in 1963. Featuring the Simonds "Ball &
Socket" construction, our carbide tipped product line is cutting into the 21st
century.
How is a Carbide Tipped band saw blade made? First, a ball of carbide is welded
in a pocket that has been milled into the tooth tip. Then the ball is ground to blend in
with the tooth shape, offering the toughest band saw blade product.
 
Simonds offers 4 types of carbide tipped band saw blade - CT I, CT III, Triple Chip,
and CT Foundry. All Carbide Tipped blades feature tooth capping for protection from damage
prior to installing on the saw. Also, we offer Simogrit carbide grit-edge band saw blades.
CT I - the original, CT I features a flexible blade
backer (45 to 47 Rc) with tooth hardness approaching 90 Rc. CT I is designed for cutting
abrasive materials, plastics, masonite, composites, transite, and cast iron. CT I can be
used by cabinet shops, pattern shops, maintenance and machine shops, furniture
manufacturers, and plastics fabricators.
Features & Benefits
| Carbide tipped cutting edge |
Excellent wear resistance in abrasive and hard to cut materials |
| Cost effective |
Less downtime / more production with fewer blade changes |
CT I ranges from 3/8" to 1" in width, with many variations available. Offered
in coil form or welded to length - call for availability.
 CT III - its high grade of carbide makes the CT III great for
cutting high alloy space age materials. A 5° positive rake angle offers aggressive
cutting of cast iron and all the exotic metals - Uranium, Beryllium, Hastalloy, Titanium,
Inconel, Waspalloy, Monel, and others. Used by the aerospace industry, steel service
centers, and anyone who has to cut exotic materials.
Features & Benefits
| High grade carbide |
Excellent wear resistance in abrasive and hard to cut materials - even better than CT
I |
| Cost-effective |
A bit more expensive than CT I, yet CT III is the most cost- effective way to cut
exotic metals |
CT III ranges from 1" to 3-1/8" in width, with many variations available.
Offered in coil form or welded to length - call for availability.
 Triple Chip Carbide - the ultimate carbide
tipped blade, its hi-lo tooth height, coupled with its ground "kerf-makers"
ensure you get great finish in close tolerance applications. Designed to cut high nickel
alloys and exotic materials, Triple Chip is used by large manufacturers and steel service
centers demanding high production, and anyone requiring tight tolerance smooth finishes.
Features & Benefits
| High grade carbide |
Excellent wear resistance in abrasive and hard to cut materials |
| Triple Chip ground tooth pattern |
Super cut finish, greatest cut accuracy |
Triple Chip Carbide ranges from 1-1/4" to 2-5/8" in width, in 1, 1.33, and 2
T.P.I.. Offered in coil form or welded to length - call for availability.
CT Foundry Band - a carbide tipped blade designed
specifically for foundry applications. For use cutting gates and risers, and any other
non-ferrous foundry applications. Perfect for aluminum foundries.
Features & Benefits
| 3 tooth raker set |
Easy-to-feed straight cuts |
| Carbide ground teeth |
Offers the longest blade life for foundry applications |
CT Foundry band is available in 3/4", 1" and 1-1/4" width, in 3 T.P.I..
Offered in coil form or welded to length - call for availability.
 Simogrit - when cutting abrasive materials, look to Simogrit to
"cut it". Super for cutting carbon and graphite, fiberglass, glass, ceramics,
marble, and rubber. Simogrit is offered in both gulleted and continuous band, in Fine,
Medium, Medium/Coarse, and Coarse, ensuring there's a Simogrit blade that's just right for
your abrasive cutting application.
Features & Benefits
| 4 Grit coarseness |
There's a Simogrit blade for every abrasive application |
| Proprietary bonding process |
Grit stays on the blade for longer life |
Simogrit ranges from 1/4" to 1-1/2" width, gulleted and continuous, in Fine,
Medium, Medium/Coarse, and Coarse grits. Offered in coil form or welded to length - call
for availability.
