Description

Exclusively for the structural steel, strong against tooth chipping and capable of providing unparalleled high efficiency. PROTECTOR added to the back face of the tooth tip prevents excessive cutting.

Features
  • Matrix High-Speed Steel Edge.
  • Unique Design Tooth Form

PROTECTOR added on the back face of the tooth tip suppresses excessive cutting and prevents continuous chipping from occurring.


  • Positive Rake Tooth Angle
  • Strong Tooth Profile

As the tooth tip is made stronger, it endures impacts caused during intermittent cutting. At the same time, high cutting efficiency is assured.

  • Set Design

The broaching style set pattern was designed to eliminate pinching, therefore preventing the blade from binding in the cut.


  • Wide Set Available

When a roll-formed large-size H-beam is cut, stress relieving may occur, pinching the blade. In order to prevent damage to the blade, a "WS" (Wide Set) type is available for PROTECTOR.

Advantages
  • Extra Tough Shock Resistance
  • Extra Tough Tooth Strippage Resistance
Benefits
  • Extra Fast Cutting on Structural Steel
  • Extra Long Life in Interrupted Structural Cutting
