A Widia disc consists of a carbon steel blade and welded tungsten carbide teeth. Used to cut wood (hard, soft, nails), plywood, chipboard, laminate, aluminum, or ferrous materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main characteristic of this type of disc is its teeth, which vary in number and shape according to the material for which they are prepared to cut. That is why it is essential to know their geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is a Widia Disc?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As explained before, Stayer Widia discs are made of a high-strength carbon steel blade<\/strong> and can be of two qualities: standard (STD) or high Quality (HQ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HQ blades differ from standard blades: less noise, heating, vibrations, and torsion of the blade during cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abAnd what is this due to?\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the laser grooves that they may have in the center of the blade or to the expansion grooves on the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion grooves are responsible for the edge of the disc to have less heating during cutting, is much better and, in addition, the teeth have a longer useful life, the plate does not twist and there is greater resistance to torsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the laser grooves are going to oversee absorbing the vibrations contributing to a lower noise level. For this reason, it is called Semi-Silent (SS) blade<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
