How to choose the most suitable blade for cutting light alloys and steel

Selecting the right cutting blade directly affects processing quality, cycle time, and tool life. The technical team at Moreschi S.r.l., a specialist in circular saw blades and regrinding services, guides its customers in finding the most efficient solution based on production needs. How? Let’s find out.

The machine

The first stage of the consultation process is analyzing the cutting machine. It is essential to distinguish between static and flying cutting systems, assessing whether it is a single, multiple, twin-blade, or orbital cutting setup. Controllable parameters such as speed, feed rate, and the possibility of varying the blade’s diameter, thickness, and tooth geometry also play a key role in the selection process.

The material to be cut

Each alloy or material has specific characteristics such as chemical composition, hardness, mechanical strength, geometry, and shape of the piece. These aspects must be carefully evaluated because they directly influence blade selection. It is also important to determine whether the cut involves an edge or a smooth surface, whether the piece is solid or hollow, and whether the process includes scarfing.

Blade use in the production environment

A frequently underestimated yet crucial aspect is the purpose of the process. Some departments prioritize high volumes in short cycle times, others require impeccable surface finish, and in many cases both must be balanced. Moreover, the customer’s previous experience with blades—any past issues or improvement requests—provides valuable insight for identifying the most suitable solution.
