Applications
Typical materials and applications
M42 is the general-purpose bimetal grade for everyday metal sawing. For harder or larger jobs that need more cobalt and wear resistance, see M51.
- Materials: carbon and structural steels, alloy steels, stainless steel, tool and die steels, pipes and tubing, angles and flat stock, and mixed-metal jobs; also aluminium and other non-ferrous metals on suitable machines
- Typical jobs: solids, structurals and sections, single and bundle cuts, and general production sawing on horizontal or vertical band saws
- Customers: metal-cutting distributors, workshops and OEM/private-label supply
Cutting performance is not promised without application data and a controlled sample test on the same machine, material and operating conditions.
