Gang Saw Steel
Gang saw steel, also known as gangsaw steel or gang saw blade steel, refers to a type of high-quality steel used in the manufacturing of gang saw blades. Gang saw blades are large, multi-toothed saw blades that are used in the stone processing industry, sawing of marble, granite and other species of rocks for the building industry and other purposes. Up to 100 saw blades can be fitted in a single set-up. The demands made on stone sawing call for straight cuts, high cutting speed and maximum utilization of the expensive diamond-segmented saw blades. Baomit strip steel meets the demands made by saw blade manufacturers and consumers on the quality of the blade material.
