Sahanteriä

Sahanteriä is a Finnish term that broadly refers to saw blades. It encompasses a variety of cutting tools designed for use with different types of saws, such as handsaws, circular saws, band saws, and chainsaws. The specific design and material of a sahanteriä are determined by its intended application, including the type of material to be cut and the desired cutting precision.

The primary function of a sahanteriä is to facilitate cutting through materials like wood, metal, plastic, and stone. The cutting edge of a sahanteriä is typically formed by a series of teeth, which can vary in size, shape, and spacing. The angle and sharpness of these teeth are crucial for efficient material removal and a clean cut. For instance, blades designed for wood often have larger, more aggressive teeth, while those for metal might have finer, more numerous teeth for smoother cuts and to prevent overheating.

Materials used in sahanteriä production include various types of steel, such as high-carbon steel, alloy steel, and high-speed steel. For enhanced durability and cutting performance, blades may also be tipped with harder materials like tungsten carbide or diamond. The maintenance of a sahanteriä, including sharpening and cleaning, is important to ensure its effectiveness and longevity. Dull or damaged blades can lead to inefficient cutting, increased effort, and potentially hazardous situations.
