Hey kids! Would you like to discover how to slice tough stainless steel? Sounds a bit tough, but you are fortunate! Today, we're going to discuss portaband blades, specialized blades that allow you to cut stainless steel with ease. Making Portaband blades is awesome because they cut through metal like a hot knife through butter. But not all blades are created equal. Some is better than others and that’s why we want to help you choose the one that suits your needs the most!
First: High Tooth Count — The higher the number of teeth a blade has will determine how fine a tooth being cut will be. What does this mean? It means the blade has many small, sharp teeth. Additional teeth allow the blade to cut through rough metal more effectively and provide cleaner cuts. Keep in mind that this is very crucial when dealing with tough materials such as stainless steel since you wouldn't want your work to take more time as well as be dirty.
Blade Thickness: The next thing to look for is the thickness of the blade. Blades can be thick or thin. Finally, thicker blades are stronger and can withstand more prolonged periods of cutting. But perhaps not as sharp as thinner ones. You have to balance the blade thickness to sharpness. When that happens, if you choose a blade that is perfect for the kinds of cutting you do, it will be much easier.
High-Quality Materials: Last but not least, check if the blade is made from quality materials. Avoid cheap blades that can snap off or erode fast. It may seem a bit pricier, initially, to invest in a good-quality, strong blade, but it will save you time and money later by not having to purchase new blades regularly.
Correct Speed: Portaband blades get the job done very well only if you are running them at the right speed. Depending on what material you are cutting will change this. To achieve the best results, be sure to set your saw’s speed based on the material being cut. When you use the correct speed, you will see a huge difference in the speed and smoothness with which you can cut.
Right Pressure: When you’re cutting, it’s best not to press too hard. Excessive pressure can cause the blade to bend and break. So, stop fighting with the blade! Just apply light pressure and let the blade cut through the metal at its own speed. This results in more intricate cuts as well as a blade that lasts far longer.
Cut it Cool: When cutting through stainless steel, it can generate a significant amount of heat, which can cause the blade to wear more rapidly. To avoid this, it’s advisable to cut with a lubricant. This will prevent the blade from overheating and give you a chance to keep up with your project without any issues.
