Excellent Japanese Material & Technology
Recognised as the leading industrial band saw brand in South East Asia, TBS band saw is made of Daido Japan’s excellent material & technology. TBS Band saw blades has several key features and unique selling points (USP) including:
Absolute flatness, Stable Straightness, Homogeneous Surface, Reduced Machining Time, Quick Saw-doctoring.
Using Nickel as a core constituent, TBS band saw offers superior cutting performance and a long lifespan that is unrivalled by other brands. All this is backed by by more than 70 years of TBS proud history of making quality bandsaw with support from Daido’s steel plant.
A Matter of Safety and Performance
The long-lasting superior cutting quality of TBS band saw blades is due to its high adrasion resistance, which is in proportion to tooth hardness. Excessive hardness, however, results in cracking, less toughness, and difficulty in swaging. TBS band saw blade is heat-treated to reconcile these conflicting requirements and provides appropriate toughness and hardness.
In addition, band saw blades are required to have high fatigue strength and impact resistance because they are subjected to high speeds and long periods of rotation. Proper heat treatment is vital to these qualities as well as to additional requirements including the control of impurities, segregation which can arise during the steel making process, and uniform grinding free from surface defects. Deleterious inclusions and a high degree of segregation may cause lowering of saw quality. TBS band saw blade is made of steel with high purity and uniform structure under Daido’s superior steel making technology, and exhibits high fatigue strength and durability.
The reliability of TBS band saw blade is the result of advanced quality control of steel making up to the final inspection by Daido Steel Co., Ltd., the world’s leading special steel manufacturer.
