Would it be possible to make a circular saw blade the size of any of those lucas blades from titanium? I find the 0.25 inch kerf to be a little excessive on these blades. Ideally I think a 0.125 inch kerf in a blade with an 8" or 10" depth of cut would be ideal. It is my understanding that titanium is twice as strong as steel for the same thickness and has a much higher melting point and is significantly more corrosion resistant that steel.
On sawblades the outer rim grows since it moves faster than the inner part. This is based on the fact that, during rotation, all parts of the saw blade rotate at the same rpm's. However the outer rim travels fastest in terms of distance over time. A better material for sawblades is on everyone's list. We can get you stainless steel blades. If you are running clean material on a well - maintained mill they can work beautifully. However they are more expensive. As with anything else the cost of manufacturing as a percentage of product produced is definitely an important consideration. Hitting a spike or similar will damage any material. A poorly synchronized feed will jam the material into the blade rather than positioning it under the blade and generally rips teeth and / or whole shoulders off. Your comments on strength are accurate, of course. However the whole industry is set up to run carbide tipped steel blades. We can build you saw blades with ceramic tips, for example, but the steel will wear out. It will become soft and lose all stiffness to the point where it cannot be tensioned. Again, this is a very intelligent question. If you do want to experiment we would be glad to help you. However I think your cost - benefit ration would be best served with our blades. We sell them for less than Lu as does and our blades typically performed better. Tom
Hello, great videos. I am about to do some carbide brazing. Would I have any problem brazing the carbide to HSS (high speed steel). Are there any special steps that I should take because its HSS or should I do the same process as its regular carbon steel?
Șalom Aleihem! And God will blessing you! Thank you so much for the information. My name is Simon Klaus and I write from Romania Bucharest, I am interested to buy such a blade for my machine but I sought to buy from the UK and from Romania and I did not find, you can send me a link with this product so I can buy it, thank you very much for the help in advance. Have a nice day!

Try the regular process. Make sure you have bright, shiny metal free of scale, smut, oils, greases, etc.

Where can I buy tips for that particular saw blade?
The saw tips for the Lucas milll saw blades can only be purchased direct from the manufacture.
I want buy this blade how much price?

How come they don't have more teeth?
gary24752 wider the teeth the less friction from the blade and less heat more kerf but and more clearing less heat longer blade life
