Unlike punched and sharpened or milled blades, each individual SHARK Ripper tooth is ground using computer-controlled machinery.
Punching teeth puts unacceptable levels of stress on the blade, before it ever gets used. The result can be reduced life, inconsistent performance and blades that often need to be re-sharpened before they can put to work.
To ensure that every tooth has the same perfect profile, a specially designed diamond-grinding process is used, which is why the SHARK Ripper blade offers unparalleled `out-of-the-box` performance. Grinding teeth is a more time-consuming and exacting process, but the results are sharper, more reliable and longer lasting blades.
Computer-Controlled Teeth Setting
Uncompromising levels of uniformity in the set of the teeth allow for a blade that cuts straighter and cuts more efficiently. Even imperceptible differences in the set will result in a wider, less straight cut – creating a rough finish, more waste and less finished product.
We use a proprietary dual-contact action to create the optimum degree of set on every SHARK Ripper blade. Each blade then passes through a highly accurate digital photometric gauge that automatically checks for any misaligned teeth. It is then subjected to further testing that includes digital tooth profile checks, straightness testing, hardness testing and microstructural analysis.
As a result, SHARK Ripper blades cut straighter and faster than any blade that's gone before it, handling higher levels of feed pressure with ease. Each blade will work straight out of the box, with no further need for resetting before it can be used.
Superior Materials
The finest finished product starts with the finest raw materials, SHARK Ripper blades are crafted from the highest quality carbon-rich Western European Steel, developed with unique metallurgical properties to meet our exacting standards. It is also precision hardened and tempered to give the optimum balance between strength and flexibility. This results in a stronger, straighter blade, that will tolerate higher feed pressures, and cut more wood in less time than has ever been possible before.
Ultra Strong Welds
SHARK Ripper band saw blades can be supplied by the coil or pre-welded in any length band you require.
When supplied factory welded, our process ensures that every band is perfectly joined and a pyrometer is used to ensure the optimum level of hardening and annealing is achieved, ensuring a super strong, yet flexible weld.
Deep Hardened Teeth
SHARK Ripper teeth are induction hardened. Induction hardened is proven to be the most effective way to harden teeth, to ensure outstanding performance we harden teeth to an optimum depth, which means our SHARK Ripper blades can be re-ground up to 100% more times before its hardness and cutting performance are compromised.
As a result of the high carbon content of the raw steel, an optimum dispersion of carbide is created in the teeth during the induction hardening process, increasing cutting power and durability even further.
