Matrix ll high speed steel edge providing a balance of metallurgical properties to resist heat, abrasion & shock in most production cutting operations. Used for a wide range of materials in production cut-off on heavy duty horizontal bandsaws. In narrow widths used on vertical band saws for cutting small radii in hard-to-machine die steels. Keeps its edge in long-run, intricate contouring jobs. Regular tooth form (constant pitch) is recommended for the cutting of solids & irregular shapes. Tooth form works best when machine conditions are not ideal or when recommended feeds & speeds cannot be met.
