Processing by friction, where the material is melted and removed by a blade which is pressed against the workpiece. HideBeskrivning The process The workpiece is clamped and processed by a blade which is usually provided with non-cutting teeth. The friction between the blade and workpiece allows the material to be heated, softened, allowing the blade to remove and cut material. Friction sawing HideAdvantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Very hard materials can be cut, very thin materials can be cut, thin materials that can damage the saw teeth can easily be cut Extended service life of saw blades with the opportunity to work with dull blades Uneven degrees Possibility of hardening around cuts Requires a lot of experience
