Different Types of Tungsten Carbide Saw Tips

Tungsten carbide saw tips are the small cutting segments attached to the teeth of a saw blade. Made from tungsten carbide, these tips are extremely hard, wear-resistant, and heat-resistant, maintaining a sharp cutting edge far longer than ordinary steel.

These tips are the part of the blade that actually does the cutting. Typically attached by welding or brazing, tungsten carbide tips excel at cutting wood, metal, plastic, composites, and other materials. Their durability reduces the need for frequent blade replacements, keeping your production running smoothly.

At Jinxin, we manufacture a wide variety of tungsten carbide saw tips to meet diverse production requirements. Here's a look at some of the most common types:

1. Flat Top Grind (FTG) Tips

FTG tips feature a completely flat tip, creating a sharp, straight cutting edge with evenly spaced teeth. FTG tips offer high cutting speed and efficiency, and their simple design makes them easy to manufacture and sharpen. They are ideal for cutting materials such as corkboard, MDF, lightweight aluminum, and PVC, especially in industrial environments where high-speed production is essential.

2. Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) Tips

ATB tips are angled alternately left and right, producing a "scissor-like" cutting effect. This results in smooth cuts with minimal burrs, reduced vibration, and lower noise levels. ATB tips are perfect for solid wood, plywood, composite boards, and particleboard, commonly used in furniture manufacturing and woodworking shops where clean, precise cuts are required.

3. Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tips

TCG tips alternate flat and trapezoidal teeth, with one flat tooth followed by a stepped tooth. This design enhances wear resistance, provides smooth cuts, and minimizes chipping, making it suitable for high-hardness materials. TCG tips excel when cutting aluminum alloys, copper, rigid plastics, acrylic, and hardwood, making them ideal for industrial applications involving metals and composites. The profile also reduces heat buildup, extending blade life even under continuous, heavy-duty use.

4. Conical Tooth Tips

Conical tooth tips feature tapered or pointed edges and are often used as auxiliary or slotting teeth. They reduce cutting resistance, prevent chipping, and improve stability during cutting. These tips are particularly effective for laminated boards, double-sided veneer boards, and thin sheet materials, as well as tasks that require maintaining surface integrity.

5. Combination Tooth Tips

Combination tooth tips mix several flat teeth with a single staggered tooth in a repeating pattern. This design delivers fast cutting while maintaining smooth cuts, handling both longitudinal and cross cuts efficiently. Combination tooth tips are versatile, ideal for furniture production, woodworking, and cutting some composite materials, offering a balance between speed and surface quality.
