Typical Applications
- Scoring the bottom laminate coating on bilaminated panels immediately before the main saw blade cuts through, preventing chipout on both the face and reverse surfaces.
- Used as the companion scoring circular saw blade on sliding table saws fitted with a scoring unit beneath the main blade.
- Used on horizontal beam saws and CNC panel sizing machines (BIESSE, SCM, HOLZMA, Giben, and equivalent makes) in furniture, kitchen cabinet, and architectural panel production.
- Suitable for melamine-coated chipboard, melamine MDF, HPL, acrylic, PET, and PP panels, and other bilaminated sheet materials where a chip-free cut on both faces is required.
Key Performance Advantages
- Conical tooth form allows the effective kerf width to be adjusted by lateral blade movement, matching the kerf of the main circular saw blade exactly and eliminating any step at the cut face.
- Tungsten carbide tips deliver consistent scoring performance across multiple resharpening cycles, keeping operating cost predictable.
- Available in both Conical and ATB tooth profiles to suit different panel types, laminate thicknesses, and machine setups.
- Precision-tensioned 75Cr1/80CrV2/SKS51 body maintains blade stability and concentricity throughout the working diameter range.
- For applications demanding longer service life or higher-volume output, the PCD-tipped version PWS7 provides 10× or more service life between resharpening.
Application Notes
- Set the scoring depth so the conical tooth just penetrates the bottom laminate without cutting fully through the panel — typically 1–2 mm deeper than the laminate thickness.
- Adjust the blade laterally until the scoring kerf width matches the main blade kerf precisely; this eliminates any overhang or undercutting on the cut face.
- Ensure the scoring circular saw blade rotates in the direction required by the machine design (counter-rotation on most sliding table and beam saw configurations).
- Inspect and resharpen the scoring circular saw blade at the same service interval as the main panel sizing saw blade to maintain consistent chip-free cuts throughout the production run.
- Use together with the matched panel sizing saw blade: PW5A (sliding table saws), PW7A (horizontal beam saws), or PWDA (PCD panel sizing).
