1. Stainless Steel Cutting TCT Saw Blades

Professional Carbide-Tipped Cutting Solutions for Stainless Steel Pipes, Tubes & Profiles

ALSKAR Stainless Steel Cutting TCT Saw Blades are developed for professional metal fabrication applications where controlled cutting, dimensional accuracy, and consistent edge quality are important.

Designed for compatible stainless steel pipes, tubing, and selected profiles, this Premium series features tungsten carbide tipped cutting edges and application-specific blade configurations.

The selected product range includes a 7-1/4″ 48T blade for compatible portable metal-cutting saws, a 12″ 80T blade for selected professional metal-cutting machines, and a 14″ 90T blade for suitable low-RPM metal-cutting chop saws.

Each configuration must be matched to the intended stainless steel grade, material dimensions, machine speed, and approved operating conditions.

2. Key Features & Benefits

1. Specialized for Stainless Steel Cutting

Stainless steel presents demanding cutting conditions due to its material properties, cutting forces, potential work hardening, and heat generation.

Unlike general-purpose wood or aluminum saw blades, this series is developed around the requirements of compatible stainless steel cutting applications.

The actual cutting-tip material and tooth geometry must be validated for the intended stainless steel grades.

2. Tungsten Carbide Tipped Teeth

The proposed blade construction features tungsten carbide tipped cutting teeth suitable for demanding metal-cutting applications.

Correct carbide grade, tooth geometry, tip attachment, and cutting parameters are important for maintaining cutting-edge integrity and reducing premature wear.

Actual performance and blade service life depend on the material, machine, feed conditions, and blade maintenance.

3. Controlled Dry-Cutting Applications

The series is intended for approved dry-cutting operations using compatible metal-cutting equipment.

When the selected blade is rated for dry cutting, it can be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions without a required liquid coolant system.

Dry cutting can still generate heat, sparks, and sharp metal chips. Proper machine guarding, clamping, and workplace safety controls are essential.

4. Designed for Stainless Steel Pipes & Tubing

This series focuses on compatible stainless steel pipes, round tubing, square tubing, rectangular tubing, and selected profiles.

Suitable blade selection and secure workpiece support help maintain cutting accuracy and reduce unwanted vibration during operation.

5. Three Selected Blade Configurations

The ALSKAR development range includes:

• 7-1/4″ (185mm) × 48T × 20mm Arbor
• 12″ (305mm) × 80T × 1″ Arbor
• 14″ (355mm) × 90T × 1″ Arbor

These configurations serve different machine and cutting requirements.

Blade diameter and tooth count alone do not establish machine compatibility.

6. Professional Cutting & Edge Quality

The proposed blade series is designed to support controlled cutting of appropriate stainless steel sections.

With suitable equipment, sharp cutting edges, correct blade geometry, and proper feeding conditions, users can achieve practical cutting accuracy and edge quality.

Cut quality and burr formation depend on the stainless steel grade, blade condition, machine alignment, and cutting setup.

7. Application-Specific Equipment Compatibility

The 7-1/4″ model is intended for evaluation with compatible portable metal-cutting circular saws.

The 12″ and 14″ models are intended for suitable professional metal-cutting equipment, particularly machines designed for carbide-tipped steel cutting.

These blade groups have different speed and mounting requirements and must not be treated as universally interchangeable.

6. Technical Specifications

7. How to Choose the Right Blade Configuration

7-1/4″ × 48T — Portable Stainless Steel Cutting

A compact blade configuration intended for compatible portable metal-cutting circular saws.

This model is positioned for selected stainless steel tube and profile cutting applications where portable equipment is required.

The machine must support the 185mm blade diameter, 20mm arbor, approved operating speed, and intended cutting material.

12″ × 80T — Professional Stainless Steel Cutting

A medium-diameter configuration intended for compatible professional metal-cutting machines.

This model is positioned for selected stainless steel pipes, tubing, and profiles within the approved cutting capacity.

Verify the 305mm blade diameter, 1″ mounting bore, and machine speed before installation.

14″ × 90T — Heavy-Duty Professional Saw Configuration

The 14″ configuration is intended for suitable low-RPM metal-cutting chop saws and professional workshop operations.

Its larger diameter supports applications requiring the cutting capacity of compatible 14″ class machines.

The blade must be validated for the intended material and equipment. Larger diameter does not automatically mean the blade is approved for every heavy-wall or solid stainless steel workpiece.

8. Stainless Steel TCT vs. Mild Steel TCT Saw Blades

Stainless Steel Cutting TCT Series

Developed for the specific demands of compatible stainless steel alloys, with an emphasis on appropriate carbide material, tooth geometry, cutting speed, and workpiece support.

Dry-Cut Mild Steel TCT Series

Designed for approved low-carbon steel pipes, tubing, angles, channels, and related structural sections.

Although both series use carbide-tipped cutting technology, the materials and operating requirements are not identical.

A blade designed for mild steel should not be assumed suitable for stainless steel without explicit product approval.

9. Stainless Steel TCT vs. Cermet Saw Blades

Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT)

Uses tungsten carbide-based cutting tips intended for the applicable cutting material and operating conditions.

Cermet-Tipped

Uses ceramic-metal composite cutting materials developed for specific wear and cutting requirements.

The two technologies are not identical. ALSKAR products should be described according to their actual cutting-tip composition.

10. How to Select the Correct Stainless Steel Saw Blade

Step 1 — Identify the Stainless Steel Grade

Confirm the exact stainless steel alloy, such as AISI 304 or another specified grade.

Step 2 — Check the Workpiece Dimensions

Determine whether the workpiece is round tubing, square tubing, pipe, profile, sheet, or solid stock.

Record the wall thickness or material cross-section.

Step 3 — Verify the Cutting Equipment

Check that the machine is explicitly approved to cut the selected stainless steel material with a compatible carbide-tipped blade.

Step 4 — Select the Correct Blade Diameter

Choose the blade diameter specified by the machine manufacturer.

Step 5 — Confirm the Arbor

Verify the spindle diameter, blade center hole, mounting flanges, and any additional machine-specific mounting requirements.

Step 6 — Check Tooth Geometry & Cutting Conditions

Select a configuration suited to the steel grade, workpiece geometry, machine operating speed, and required cutting method.

Step 7 — Confirm Maximum RPM

Never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the actual blade.

The blade must also be suitable for the machine’s operating speed; a maximum-RPM rating alone does not establish that the saw/blade combination will cut correctly or safely.

Step 8 — Secure the Workpiece

Use suitable material clamping and support. Follow the approved feed rate, cutting direction, guarding, and cutting procedure.
