• High productivity due to exceptional cutting performance
• Continuous operation in large saws and on large blocks
• Hardened and tempered steels (over 1000 N/mm² / 32 HRC)
• Band widths from 27x0.9 - 100x1.6 mm

SKALAR® X3000® - High performance for high-strength materials

The modified cutting material X3000® enables precise cutting of high-strength materials and special alloys. This cutting material, available exclusively from WIKUS, offers even greater tooth tip hardness and wear resistance, along with exceptional toughness compared to M42 cutting material.

The bimetal band saw blade SKALAR® X3000®, combined with the backing strip made of heat-treated alloy steel, achieves outstanding continuous running properties.

Intended Use

• High cutting performance with highly alloyed austenitic materials
• Continuous operation in large saws and on large blocks
• Especially for mixed programs with a large material mixture
• also for special non-ferrous alloys that are difficult to process.
• ESU material, materials over 1000 N/mm2 Tensile strength

• Nickel-based alloys
• Titanium, titanium alloys
• Hardened and tempered steels (over 1000 N/mm² / 32 HRC)
• Stainless and acid-resistant steels (austenitic)
• Duplex and heat-resistant steels
• Aluminum bronzes

Advantages

• High productivity due to exceptional cutting performance
• Reduced cutting forces, smooth operation, and straight cutting surfaces
• Optimal chip distribution due to intelligent cutting edge geometry
• Fewer blade changes due to large contact surface area

Features

• Ground contour with specially adapted tooth spacing
• Cutting edge of X3000® material teeth with positive rake angle
• Special setting for optimal chip distribution
• High hardness, wear resistance, and toughness due to X3000® cutting material

As with all SKALAR® band saws, the high cutting performance of SKALAR® X3000® band saws is due to the special properties of the cutting material, specially adapted tooth geometry, slightly increased positive rake angle, and optimized setting sequence.

In addition, greater stability of the base material contributes to longer tool life, especially when sawing difficult-to-cut high-alloy materials, such as forged and hardened tool steels with tensile strength over 1000 N/mm².
