KASTO & Kanefusa announce a new partnership |
KASTO & Kanefusa are very pleased to announce a brand new partnership agreement for the supply of Carbide & Cermet "Ferro Max Cold Saw Technology™" saw blades for the UK & Ireland.
Since 1844 KASTO has always pushed the boundaries of what is capable when sawing and storing steel with over 125,000 saws and 1500 storage systems installed world wide.
KASTO as a group have grown nearly 100% over the last 5 years. It now employs nearly 700 people and has achieved a turnover in excess of 150 Million Euro in '08.
Over recent years KASTO has developed a series of high speed carbide circular saw machines called the "Speed, Variospeed & Gripspeed"cutting up to 150mm diameter solid bar.
Kanefusa are one of Japans largest manufacturers of high quality industrial tooling. Recently Kanefusa have produced specific tooth geometry and PVD coated blades with "Ferro Max Cold Saw Technology™" for Gears, drive shafts, intake manifolds, cylinder liners, connecting rods, bearings & shock absorbers etc for both carbon and stainless steel.
KASTO of course can supply Kanefusa blades for other manufacturers machines and would like to discuss your requirements in more detail, and offer the correct blade and lowest cost per cut for your business.
Below are examples of one of the many saw blade products available.
Kanefusa ST-4 Cermet Tipped Saw Blade
For Solid cutting of carbon 0.15% - 0.45% & alloy steels. |
ST-4 teeth have a high impact resistance, which relates to a longer tool life. Will Cut 5 times faster than a conventional HSS circular or band saw. Cut surface is significantly better compared to conventional sawing. |
|
 |
| Material: 950N/mm2 30HRc 285Brinell |
| Size: φ10-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=70-120m/min Fz =0.05~0.07 |
Kanefusa ST4-P Cermet Tipped Saw Blade
For Tube cutting with wall thickness > 4mm of carbon 0.15% - 0.45% & alloy steels |
Special tooth design enables to cut through the swarf inside the tube. Very tough Cermet grade has a high impact resistance, which reduces edge chipping and relates to longer tool life. 3 - 5 times greater blade life than HSS saws. |
|
 |
| Material: 950N/mm2 30HRc 285Brinell |
| Size: φ20-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=100m/min-200m/min Fz =0.04-0.06mm/tooth |
Kanefusa TA-4 Entry Level Carbide Tipped Saw Blade
For Rods, bars, & shapes in mild and low carbon steel |
Optimized tooth geometry reduces cutting vibrations and improves the swarf flow, which relates to a better cut quality. |
|
 |
| Material: 1100N/mm2 35HRc 325Brinell |
| Size: φ20-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=70-150m/min Fz =0.04-0.07mm/tooth |
Kanefusa Ti-4 Coated Carbide Tipped Saw Blade
For Solids & Tubes in carbon, alloy, & special purpose steels with carbon > 0.4% (except stainless steel or heat resistant steels) |
Special designed teeth for cutting high carbon steel, with a PVD coating which extends tool life. |
|
 |
| Material: 1100N/mm2 35HRc 325Brinell |
| Size: φ20-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=70-150m/min Fz =0.04-0.07mm/tooth |
Kanefusa Ferro Max-SUS Carbide Tipped Saw Blade
For cutting Stainless Steel solids. |
Special selected carbide and an optimized tooth shape increase the resistance against edge chipping which relates to a longer tool life. |
|
 |
| Material: 1000N/mm2 30HRc 285Brinell |
| Size: φ20-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=50-80m/min Fz =0.04-0.07mm/tooth |
Kanefusa Ferro Max Tube
For cutting Thin Wall Tube <4mm in carbon alloy Carbon <0.25% |
Because of an improved saw blade design, it outlasts conventional tube cutting saw blades by up to 200%.
The high number of teeth and the advanced saw blade design enable clean cuts without deforming of the pipe.
|
|
 |
| Material: 1000N/mm2 30HRc 285Brinell |
| Size: φ10-φ100 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ360 |
| Feed & Speed: V=100-200m/min Fz=0.03-0.05mm/tooth |
Kanefusa Ferro Max Speed
For cutting Solid & Thick Wall Tube in carbon & alloy Carbon < 0.25% |
Ferro Max Speed has been developed for cutting speeds of 200 to 300 m/min.
Due to a newly developed coating, the Ferro Max saw blade provides the longest lifetime and stable performance for maximum productivity and lowest cost per cut.

|
 |
| Material: 1100N/mm2 35HRc 325Brinell |
| Size: φ20-φ150 |
| Blade size: φ250-φ460 |
| Feed & Speed: V=200-300m/min Fz =0.04-0.07(0.05-0.10 Tube cutting) |
Kanefusa Ferro Max SUS
For cutting Solids in Stainless Steel |
Ferro Max SUS outlasts conventional saw blades up to five times due to a newly developed coating.
The coating improves the wear resistance of the teeth and prevents cold welding of the swarf into the gullet area. |
