Cutting Saws

Sourced and supplied across Saudi Arabia

The question that decides this purchase is whether the cut may produce sparks. In a live plant area, near a hydrocarbon inventory or inside a permit boundary where hot work is restricted, an abrasive cut is a hot work activity with everything that implies — a permit, a fire watch, and often a shutdown of something nearby. A cold cutting saw sidesteps that. A metal-cutting band saw or a cold saw with a toothed blade cuts by shearing rather than by abrading, running slowly enough that the chip carries the heat away, so the cut face is cool and the swarf does not shower. It is slower per cut and materially cheaper once the permit is counted. Cold cutting also leaves a square, burr-light face that needs less preparation before welding. State the material and section, where the cut is made, and whether hot work is restricted, because that answer decides the machine before anything else does.
