Diverse applications, optimum results
Thermoplastics are used in a wide variety of sectors: from high-quality design panels in furniture construction and displays in shop fitting to illuminated advertising and machine elements. Materials such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) require high-precision cutting quality. To meet these requirements, we developed PolyCut circular sawblades, a solution that delivers optimum results on table saws, sliding table saws and panel dividing saws.
The PolyCut circular sawblades have highly stable carbide teeth (TC-tipped), which guarantee a long, reliable tool life. The chamfered alternating teeth minimise scoring, prevent melting and ensure clean, precise cuts. This combination ensures outstanding cutting quality and an extended cutting edge lifetime.
Reduced vibrations for greater process stability
A key factor for the quality of the cut is the stability of the main blade. To reduce vibrations and achieve optimum damping, the PolyCut circular sawblades are equipped with special laser ornaments. These are equipped with an innovative filler that effectively absorbs vibrations. The tooth arrangement has also been optimised. This reduces further vibrations and increases quiet running. For easy identification and quick tool selection, the PolyCut circular sawblades are provided with colour-coded arrows indicating the direction of rotation. The blue marking refers to Leitz as the manufacturer, while the yellow marking indicates suitability for plastics - a proven colour scheme that is already established in Leitz publications.
Customised solutions for every requirement
The PolyCut range includes diameters from 300 mm to 450 mm and thus covers all standard table and sliding table saws as well as panel sizing circular saws. Different numbers of teeth ensure optimum adaptation to the respective material thickness, which further optimises the cutting quality.
In addition to choosing the right sawblade, process consulting is also important. This is because the correct setting of the cutting parameters is important for customised applications. Factors such as saw protrusion, speed and feed rate have a significant influence on the cutting quality.
Sustainability and efficiency combined
The PolyCut circular sawblades can be reground several times. This not only increases effectiveness, but also protects the environment.
With the new circular sawblade, we present a pioneering solution for the precise and economical cutting of thermoplastics - for excellent results, maximum flexibility and sustainable production.
