Product catalog summary
History
The production of tools in Hulin began in 1934, founded by Mr. Studeník as the "First Moravian factory for saws and tools." Initially focused on hand saws and circular saw blades, the company expanded to include wood cutting tools and other woodworking equipment. By the 1960s, the product range included TCT circular saw blades, gang saw blades, planner knives, machine knives, metal cutting tools, and saw bodies. The company was state-owned from 1948 to 1992, transitioning to private ownership in 1992.
Present Time
PILANA TOOLS, employing 650 workers, is a leading European tool producer, adhering to DIN and ISO standards. The company uses advanced equipment like lasers and CNC machines to ensure high precision. With a focus on production improvement and automation, PILANA TOOLS exports 80% of its products to over 70 countries. The company comprises several subsidiaries specializing in tool manufacturing and development.

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for band saw blades, including geometry, tooth forms, and pitch. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct tooth pitch and shape for optimal performance, especially when cutting different materials.
Technical Recommendations
Recommendations are provided for using band saw blades, including material specifications, cutting speeds, and cooling fluids. The document outlines the importance of proper blade tension, speed, and feed speed for efficient cutting.
Instructions for Usage
Guidelines for the correct usage of band saw blades include regular maintenance of band saw guidance, drive discs, and chip brushes. Proper blade tension and cooling fluid usage are crucial for effective cutting.
Troubleshooting
The document addresses common issues like tooth breaking, rough surfaces, and vibration, providing solutions such as adjusting feed speed and ensuring proper blade tension and guidance.
Overview
This document provides technical specifications, usage guidelines, and troubleshooting tips for various types of saw blades, including hand hacksaw blades and tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) circular saw blades. It outlines common issues encountered during cutting operations and offers solutions to optimize performance.
Specifications and Characteristics
  • HSS and Cr Blades: High-speed steel (HSS) blades are suitable for all steel types, offering high cutting performance. Cr (alloyed steel) blades are best for common use.
  • TCT Circular Saw Blades: Designed for cutting non-ferrous metals and plastics, these blades feature tungsten carbide tips and are available in diameters ranging from 200-450mm. They include expansion slots filled with copper rivets for low-noise cutting and improved heat dissipation.
Usage Recommendations
  • Hand Hacksaw Blades: Ensure proper blade tension and material fixation to prevent fast blunting, teeth breaking, and blade breakage.
  • TCT Blades: Type 13 is recommended for massive materials, while type 11 is best for thin-walled profiles. Suitable for both manual and mechanical feed motion machines.
Troubleshooting and Best Practices
  • Fast Blunting: Caused by incorrect teeth number, improper tension, excessive cutting speed, or insufficient cooling.
  • Teeth Breaking: Occurs when the tooth pitch is too small or material is not properly secured.
  • Blade Breakage: Results from improper blade straightening, careless machine handling, or defective machine components.
  • Curved Cutting: Caused by incorrect blade fixing, insufficient tension, or machine faults.
Service and Maintenance
PILANA offers full service and reconditioning of used TCT saw blades, ensuring they meet the same quality standards as new blades.
