Bahco, a leader in the bandsaw market with more than 140 years of experience manufacturing saw blades and cutting tools, is expanding its bandsaw blade portfolio with what is said to be the debut of the world’s first trimetal bandsaw blade. Bahco says its 3859 Easy-Cut Xtreme Trimetal Bandsaw Blade offers users an easier, wider-ranging and faster cut with a longer-lasting blade life.
The 3859 can reportedly cut a wide array of materials, including structural and mild steels, stainless steels, cast iron, high temperature alloys and tool steels. Its unique set pattern provides a greater range of cutting widths, bringing greater application potential and increased productivity.
The 3859 Easy-Cut Xtreme Trimetal Bandsaw Blade cuts many types of materials with the same blade, meaning there is no need to change blades. This saves time and money by reducing blade inventory, operator labor and machine downtime. The 3859 also is said to boast a longer blade life than bimetal blades. Its enhanced durability also means the blade can cut faster when needed.
Because the trimetal blade uses the same parameters as bimetal blades, there is no need to break in the blade. The 3859 comes direct from Bahco’s factory already honed with a patented edge preparation.
