Rapid wear of circular saw blades can significantly increase the cost of cutting workpieces and decrease their quality, which is detrimental to a company’s efficiency. To prevent the rapid wear of circular saw blades, it is essential to first understand the causes of this issue.
1. Cutting Speed
Each type of circular saw blade corresponds to different sizes of materials (including various types of materials), and each has a specific optimal cutting speed, ranging from slow to fast. Exceeding this range will severely affect the blade’s lifespan, especially damaging the teeth.
The moment the circular saw blade touches the material, the force applied is substantial (due to contact friction). The faster the cutting speed, the stronger the force. If the speed exceeds the recommended limit, tooth breakage, cracks, or other failures may occur, and in extreme cases, the entire blade could shatter, leading to hazardous accidents.
Therefore, no matter how busy the production process is, or during operation, the cutting speed should not be adjusted arbitrarily. It is critical to strictly adhere to the relevant regulations.
2. Magnetic Powder Clutch
The magnetic powder clutch plays a protective role for circular saw blades. If there are any malfunctions or operational failures that cause it to stop working, the saw blade’s performance will be severely compromised.
Routine maintenance and inspection of the equipment should be performed daily to reduce the chances of equipment issues that could damage the saw blade. This will also extend the equipment’s lifespan. Often, problems arise due to the neglect of small details, such as loose screws or incorrect parameter settings.
3. Material Condition
During the process of cutting raw materials, companies often overlook an important step: inspecting the incoming materials. Sometimes, certain materials may have rough surfaces, especially those with severe bumps or irregularities, which is a common factor contributing to the shortened lifespan of circular saw blades.
Materials that require cutting should always be inspected before purchase or processing. Severely irregular materials should be filtered out, and any necessary preliminary processing should be performed before using the saw for cutting. This ensures the proper functioning of the circular saw blade, extends its lifespan, and improves cutting quality.
These are the common causes of rapid wear in circular saw blades. Following proper usage standards can help improve a company’s operational efficiency.
