Cobalt Alloy STP Saw tips

STP alloy is a cobalt-based alloy known for its high wear and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in cutting tools such as saw blades. When cobalt alloy is used to make saw teeth, it can provide excellent performance and durability in various cutting applications. There are triangle, rectangular, European styles, cylindrical, fan-shaped, and drop-shaped in SYTOP.

Cobalt alloy saw teeth are commonly used in various industries, including metalworking, woodworking, and mining. They are known for cutting through rigid materials and maintaining their sharpness over time, even when exposed to high temperatures and abrasive environments—the Advantages of STP Alloy Tipped Tips.

• Considerably longer operation time.
• Give better surface finishes.
• Excellent wear resistance but tough enough to withstand shocks caused by knots, nails, etc.
• Cut with thinner kerf.
• Better cutting accuracy.
• Smoother cutting edges.

Application of STP saw teeth in woodworking.

STP saw teeth are commonly used in woodworking applications, requiring high wear resistance and durability. Here are some specific applications of STP saw teeth in woodworking:

• Sawmills: STP saw teeth are used in sawmills to cut and shape hardwoods, softwoods, and other materials. They are often used in circular saw blades, band saw blades, and other cutting tools used in the milling process.
• Furniture manufacturing: STP saw teeth are used to cut and shape wood, particle boards, and other composite materials. They are commonly used in panel saws, sliding table saws, and other cutting tools used in production.
• Carpentry: STP saw teeth are used in carpentry to cut and shape wood and other materials used in construction. They are often used in hand saws, miter saws, and other cutting tools carpenters use on the job site.
• Woodturning: STP saw teeth are used to shape and finish wood products such as bowls, vases, and other decorative items. They are commonly used in lathes and other cutting tools in the woodturning process.

STP saw teeth are a durable and reliable choice for woodworking applications where wear and corrosion resistance are critical factors. They are commonly used in various cutting tools in the woodworking industry, including saw blades, cutting tools, and lathe tools.

Which kind of wood will use an STP-tipped saw blade to cut?

Traditionally, STP 12-tipped saws were used for cutting hardwoods, but they have been proven to be used on softer woods such as Fir & Pine. Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, they can cut wood like red cedar and unseasoned lumber.

• Hardwoods: STP saw blades are commonly used to cut hardwoods such as oak, maple, cherry, and walnut. These woods are known for their density and hardness.
• Softwoods: STP saw blades are also used to cut softwoods such as pine, spruce, and fir. These woods are less dense and typically easier to cut than hardwoods.
• Green or wet wood: STP saw blades are also used to cut green or damp wood, which can be more challenging than dry wood. STP blades’ wear resistance and durability make them well-suited for cutting green or wet lumber without becoming dull or damaged.

STP saw teeth are a durable and reliable choice for cutting applications requiring wear and corrosion resistance. Usually, people will choose STP 12 or STP 1 according to their using environments.
