5. Conclusion & Recommendations

The flying friction saw is ideal for high-speed, continuous production of carbon steel tubes with moderate wall thickness and standard cutting tolerance.
For precision cutting, or when working with stainless steel or alloy steel, the cold saw provides better finish and dimensional control, although at a higher cost.
For flexible and cost-effective tube mills, many manufacturers choose a dual-system configuration—friction saw for general cutting, and cold saw for special grades or high-precision tubes.

6. Common Issues & Solutions – Flying Friction Saw for ERW Tube Mill

Issue	Possible Cause	Recommended Solution
1. Pipe ends have large burrs	• Blade is worn or blunt • Cutting speed too low • Incorrect blade angle	✔ Replace or resharpen the blade ✔ Increase blade RPM ✔ Check and correct blade angle
2. Pipe cut is not straight (angled cut)	• Clamping pressure is uneven • Blade deflection • Servo tracking delay	✔ Adjust clamping force ✔ Check blade stiffness and runout ✔ Recalibrate tracking system
3. Blade breaks frequently	• Excessive feed rate • Blade quality too low • Poor blade cooling	✔ Reduce feed rate ✔ Use high-quality friction blades ✔ Improve airflow or cooling
4. Blade overheating or discoloration	• Insufficient cooling • Cutting pressure too high • Blade too dull	✔ Enhance air cooling ✔ Reduce feed force ✔ Replace dull blades promptly
5. Cutting length tolerance is unstable	• Tracking system not properly synchronized • Servo encoder error	✔ Check servo encoder calibration ✔ Synchronize tracking mechanism with line speed
6. Sparks too intense or irregular	• Blade-to-pipe contact angle incorrect • Blade not aligned with pipe center	✔ Reposition blade and realign cutting unit ✔ Adjust inclination for optimal contact
7. Abnormal vibration or noise during cutting	• Blade imbalance • Loose bearings or guide rails • Pipe not clamped tightly	✔ Balance the blade ✔ Check all mechanical fastening points ✔ Reinforce pipe clamping
8. Blade wear is uneven	• Pipe not perpendicular to blade • Inconsistent clamping or feed speed	✔ Adjust blade angle ✔ Ensure stable pipe feeding and holding

🛠️ Maintenance Tips:

🕑 Inspect the blade daily for cracks, dull teeth, and heat spots
🔩 Tighten mechanical connections weekly (clamps, bearings, guides)
💨 Check cooling system air ducts and nozzles regularly to avoid clogging
⚙️ Recalibrate servo tracking every 500 hours or when pipe length deviation exceeds tolerance
🧰 Keep spare blades and wear parts (bearings, belts) in inventory to reduce downtime

friction saw blade FAQs

1. What is a Friction Saw Blade?

A Friction Saw Blade is a specialized circular saw blade used for high-speed, high-temperature cutting of metals. It operates by generating frictional heat through high-speed rotation, softening the material at the cutting point, and enabling fast separation.

2. What materials can be cut with a Friction Saw Blade?

Friction saw blades are mainly used for cutting: Carbon steel Alloy steel Cast iron Steel pipes, profiles, billets, slabs, and rebar

3. What are the key benefits of using Friction Saw Blades?

Extremely fast cutting speeds High productivity for continuous or batch cutting Lower cutting cost compared to cold cutting methods Effective for hot cutting of large cross-section materials

4. What is the recommended cutting speed for Friction Saw Blades?

The typical recommended cutting speed is: 60 - 150 m/s at the blade's outer periphery This varies depending on the material type, thickness, and cutting equipment.

5. Can Friction Saw Blades be resharpened?

No. Due to the severe wear, deformation, and tooth geometry degradation during high-speed friction cutting, friction saw blades are typically non-resharpenable and should be replaced when worn.
