SET PATTERN
(1) RAKER SET
Teeth are set in groups of 3, left, right, straight. This is the most popular set pattern for Regular tooth pitches.
(2) COMBI SET (GROUP SET)
Teeth are set left and right, predominantly in groups of 5 or 7, with one straight tooth per group. This set pattern is most popular on variable/combi tooth pitches. The number of teeth in a group is determined by the characteristics of the variable pitch pattern repeat.
(3) PAIRS SET
For some specialised non-ferrous cuttin applications the teeth are set in pairs to the left than to the right with the 5th tooth straight. This is the least popular of the 4 set patterns.
(4) WAVY SET
This set pattern is used on very fine pitches where the saw blade teeth are too small to be set individualy. The degree of the set changes incrementally throughout the blade in waves from left to right.
TOOTH FORM
NORMAL TOOTH (N)
The normal tooth has a cutting angle of 0°. It is suitable for material with a high carbon content (such as cast iron), for material with small cross sections and for thin-wall profiles and tubes.
HOOK TOOTH (H)
The hook tooth has a positive cutting angle of 10°. This tooth form is particularly well suited for solid, thick-walled tubes and all higher-grade alloy material.
RP TOOTH (RP)
The RP tooth has a positive cutting angle of 16°. Due to its aggressive cutting characteristics, it is suitable for high-alloy and highest-grade alloy material and for non-ferrous metals.
MASTER TOOTH (M)
The Master tooth is based on a high-low triple chip design recognised as one of the most efficient in engineering cutting technology. To cope with the demands of a wide range of difficult steel and exotic alloys the teeth are available with cutting angles of both 10° and 16° degrees.
PROFILE TOOTH
The profile tooth withstands due to a reinforced tooth the vibrations during cutting of beams and tubes. This effect is intensified by the reduced cutting angle of 6°.
TOOTH PITCHES
Tooth pitch is measured in number of teeth per inch. For Combi (variable) tooth pitches, the two figures represent the highest and lowest number of teeth per inch in each group of teeth.
REGULAR TOOTH PITCH
The distance between the teeth is constant throughout the blade.Suitable to cut solid materials on sawing machines with efficient clamping. Very effective on high alloy steels and exotic alloys.
COMBI (VARIABLE) TOOTH PITCH
Combi tooth pitch is based on groups of different pitches being repeated at regular intervals throughout the blade. The reduction of vibrations through resonance during cutting is the major advantage of this pitch. Sawing thin-wall hollow sections and material in bundles or with weak clamping are typical applications for this tooth pitch configuration.

BI-ALFA COBALT M42
The 100% GERMANY PQ SAW bi-alfa cobalt M42 band saw blade has HSS-M42 tooth tips. The high wear resistance of the saw blade results from the very hard and evenly distributed carbides in the tooth tips, formed during the hardening and tempering process.
The martensitic structure of the tooth tips and high cobalt content create excellent hot hardness and toughness reducing wear rates at high sawing speeds. With a high chromium backing strip, the saw blade can withstand the considerable flexing stresses, tension and blade guide pressure present in modern sawing machines. AREA OF APPLICATION

BI-ALFA PROFILE
The band saw blade bi-alfa PROFILE and its variant PROFILE WS ensure a perfect cut under vibrations.
Vibrations during cutting of tubes, beams and profiles reduce the blade life. For this kind of application 100% GERMANY PQ SAW offers the perfect blade solution.
The reinforced tooth increases the strength to withstand vibrations during interrupted cutting and protects the band saw blade against loosing teeth in a row.
The tooth tip consists of proven HSS-M42, which has good mechanical features.

The band saw blade bi-alfa PROFILE and its variant PROFILE WS ensure a perfect cut under vibrations.
Vibrations during cutting of tubes, beams and profiles reduce the blade life. For this kind of application 100% GERMANY PQ SAW offers the perfect blade solution.
A special feature of this blade is the wider set width. This creates a wider kerf, which prevents a binding of the band saw blade.
The reinforced tooth increases the strength to withstand vibrations during interrupted cutting and protects the band saw blade against loosing teeth in a row.
A special set pattern reduces vibrations during cutting and therefore increases the blade life.
Bi-alfa PROFILE WS is designed for cutting profiles and beams under stress. The cutting process releases stress, which demands a wider kerf in order to prevent blade binding. Therefore the blade encompasses not only a special set pattern and a reinforced tooth, but also a wider set.

BI-ALFA MASTER
The 100% GERMANY PQ SAW bi-alfa Master band saw blade harnesses the benefits of “triple chip” tooth geometry, widely recognised as the optimal form for production sawing. The teeth are CBN precision ground to form a chamfered high tooth (A) and a pair of lower finishing teeth (B & C). Cutting faces are ground parallel to the back edge ensuring absolutely straight cutting. The M42 tooth tips have a height difference calculated to suit the typical chip load characteristics of each blade width/pitch combination. High cutting rates can be achieved without compromising blade life or cut finish. AREA OF APPLICATION

BI-ALFA MASTER SUPREME
High-alloyed materials are extremely demanding on all cutting tools. The Roentgen Master Supreme provides a cost effective solution for these difficult applications. M51 cutting tips together with a special tooth geometry provides the perfect solution for high alloyed and exotic materials.
Master Supreme is especially suited to cut large cross sections, therefore, the ideal choice for steel service centres, forging mills and where predominantly large material diameters have to be cut.
100% GERMANY PQ SAW MASTER SUPREME
Precise perpendicular cut with excellent surface finish on the most difficult-to-cut-materials.
The doubled-sided chamfered pre-cutter ensures absolute straight cutting, while a pair of lower set finishing teeth keep the cutting channel open. Resulting in a clean and smooth cutting surface.
HIGH EFFICIENCY
HSS-M51 cutting tips allow materials with a hardness of 50 HRc (1600 N/mm²) to be cut. Together with an aggressive cutting angle of 16°, it is the ideal combination to cut high alloyed and exotic materials on larger cross sections.

SAW BLADE TENSION GAUGE
Correct band tension is vital to ensure cut straightness. The 100% GERMANY PQ SAW tension gauge quickly and simply measures the exact blade tension while it is mounted on the band wheels. An optimal tension of 300 N/mm² is recommended for 100% GERMANY PQ SAW bi-metal blades with 4% chrome backing strip.
This will help to avoid off-square cutting through low tension or blade breakage and machine damage through excessively high tension.
REFRACTOMETER
Soluble oil coolant makes an important contribution to extended blade life. It lubricates tooth tips to reduce wear and removes excessive heat from the blade and workpiece. At a recommended oil concentration of 8% - 12%, the emulsion will perform both the lubrication and cooling tasks.
The oil to water ratio is measured by the 100% GERMANY PQ SAW refractometer and can be read off a scale visible through the eyepiece.
WEDGE TO PREVENT KERF CLOSING
Steel wedge to prevent blade jamming inside the kerf.
MOBILE FEED MEASURING DEVICE
A constant feed rate is required to archive high durability of the band saw blade, and a high cutting performance.
The 100% Germany PQ SAW VM – 500 allows a fast and precise measurement of the feed rate even during the sawing process.
A wrong or incorrect feed rate will be digitally displayed directly and can be adjusted.
The 100% Germany PQ SAW VM – 500 is ready to use in a few seconds; and will be stored in a save aluminum box.
