cutting (disruption of cohesion) of metals

all industries

Saw cutting is a machining process using a multi-blade tool with a defined blade geometry in the form of a saw or blade. The feed motion in saw cutting is a depth setting motion against the surface of the workpiece and can be performed mechanically by a sawing machine or manually by the operator. The primary motion is a reciprocating motion performed mechanically by a sawing machine or manually by the operator.
