Vertical band saws (contour saws) and horizontal band saws use conventional, fluid cooled blades to friction cut even the hardest steels. Using MD Exports LLP saws, customer benefits include:

• Low cost cutting for virtually any product.
• Laser guided blades (selected locations) to assure straight, close tolerance cuts.
• Minimum kerf loss means lower overall material cost.

Width and length tolerances are generally +/- 1/16 inch, though tighter tolerances are possible, depending upon the application.

Cold saws use circular, tungsten-carbide tipped blades or high strength steel (HSS) blades to cut product with minimal burr, no sparks, no discoloration and no dust. As a result, with MD Exports LLP cold saws customer benefits include:

• Smooth, machined surface.
• Edge has no heat affected zone and post-processing thermal treatment is generally not required.
• Close tolerance parts, reducing finishing time.

Width and length tolerances are generally +/- 1/16 inch, though tighter tolerances are possible, depending upon the application.
