3 MIRANDA BIMTAL ALUMINA - M42 An etra-wide cut giving a half-setting 6% larger than that of a standard blade. This gives it a 6% larger set, which prevents the material from closing up after the cut has been made. A variable pitch with a raker group of 5 teeth reduces vibration during cutting. Blade especially developed to cut aluminum, a material difficult to saw, as it trends to close up when cut. CONSTANT PITCH CI:HOOK MIRANDA BIMTAL KATANA - M42 Made from M42 steel with VX teeth, this new blade is an unrivaled combination between hardness and resilience. The tooth design increases the rigidity of the blade and results in a straighter, more accurate cut. The reduced cutting angle offers greater tip sharpness, enabling optimum penetration particularly in sticky materials & requires less cutting effort. Ideal for cutting stainless steel and cold workable materials.

Blade Tension : 1.2/2 Once the blade is correctly seated on the machine, start tensioning the blade. As it tightens it is vital to check whether the blade remains in the correct position. Follow the values given by the machine manufacturer. You can also use a tension gauge to verify the adjustments. If the machine manufacturer has not given indication of blade tension, use this chart as a guide. L l Use a neutral cutting angle for alloyed construction steel and for profiles.
