This product is part of the Wieländer+Schill professional tool range, found specifically in the assortment recommended for Volkswagen AG workshop equipment (VAS). The VAS 882 003/3 saw blade is designed to provide excellent performance when cutting special metals and composites, ensuring precise and efficient work in body repair and metalworking tasks.
A VAS 882 003/3 Saw Blade developed specifically for the challenges of machining aluminum. Perfectly suitable for aluminum castings, aluminum extruded profiles, as well as multi-layer composites and high-strength, extremely hard aluminum alloys for precise cutting.
The innovative tooth geometry of the blade is crucial for efficiency: this design prevents rapid clogging (gumming) of the cutting teeth, which significantly increases continuous working time and reduces downtime.
To maximize the lifespan of the saw blade – especially when cutting harder steels – the use of a suitable cutting fluid is strongly recommended. The cutting oil ideal choice, as it effectively protects the saw blade from excessive heating, thus ensuring optimal cutting performance and long-term tool reliability.
This product is designed for professional use, where reliability and durability are fundamental requirements.
The technical data of the VAS 882 003/3 saw blade ensure the tool's compatibility and optimal applicability for the specified materials:
| Property | Spezification | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Item number (Item no.) | 932212 | The unique identifier of the product. |
| Package contents | 10 pieces | The package contains 10 saw blades. |
| Length | 100 mm | The total length of the saw blade. |
| Material | Bi-metal | Bi-metal structure for an optimal combination of flexibility and hardness. |
| Tooth pitch | 10 tpi (teeth/inch) | Ideal for softer but thicker materials, with a reduced risk of clogging. |
| Weight | 0.015 kg | Weight of one saw blade. |
| Field of application | Aluminum castings, extruded profiles, multi-layer composites, high-strength aluminum. |
Bi-metal construction means the saw blade is made of two different metals: the teeth are made of an extremely hard, wear-resistant material (usually high-speed steel, HSS), while the body of the blade is made of a more flexible, break-resistant material (usually spring steel). This combination ensures that the blade:
Be able to maintain its sharpness during the machining of hard aluminum.
Resist vibration and load without the entire tool breaking.
The 10 teeth per inch (tpi) pitch is an ideal choice for aluminum because:
Larger tooth surface area in contact with the workpiece, which allows for more efficient material removal.
Lower chance of tooth chipping in the case of softer but often gummy aluminum, compared to blades with a finer pitch.
To maximize performance and extend tool life, the manufacturer recommends the following:
Cooling and Lubrication: Always use an appropriate cutting aid. The use of cutting oil is essential to reduce friction and minimize heat generation, which is especially important when cutting aluminum, where heat can easily weld the material to the teeth.
Optimized Cutting Speed: Although the exact speed depends on the saw machine used, a lower peripheral speed is generally recommended for aluminum than for steels, but the 10 tpi pitch allows for a faster feed rate.
Machining Hard Steels: Although this blade is primarily optimized for aluminum, according to the description, it may also be suitable for cutting harder steels (although types VAS 882 003/1 and /2 are more specialized for this), in which case the use of coolant is critically important.
Other saw blades with different specifications, ideal for various materials and applications, can be found in the Wieländer+Schill range:
VAS 882 003/4 Saw Blade for Aluminum | 10 tpi/130 mm | 10 pcs (Item No.: 932211): A version with a similar specification but longer (130 mm) to achieve greater cutting capacity.
VAS 882 003/1 HSS Saw Blade | 18 tpi/100 mm | 10 pcs (Item No.: 932213): This HSS (High-Speed Steel) blade has a higher pitch of 18 tpi and is generally suitable for machining all steels and alloys, up to a hardness of 1000 MPa.
VAS 882 003/2 UHSS Saw Blade | 18 tpi/90 mm | 5 pcs (Item No.: 932214): This special UHSS (Ultra High Strength Steel) blade also features an 18 tpi pitch and is specifically recommended for extremely high-strength materials (up to 1000 MPa), in a 90 mm length, supplied in a pack of 5.
These accessory products ensure that the workshop has the complete cutting solutions required by Volkswagen AG, from aluminum to the hardest steels.
This product is available through official Wieländer+Schill distributors or through the local Volkswagen importer.
