Sawing
HSS cold saw blades
Solid HSS or segmental cold saw blades for cutting metal. A solid blade matches an HSS plate, a segmental blade matches an alloy body and segments, and the teeth are milled, ground and finished to your rates.
How you configure it
The parameters that define the part
A hss cold saw blades configurator is a schema of parameters and your own formulas. Declare the values a request fills in, and the price follows from them.
Construction
A solid HSS blade or a segmental blade on an alloy body. The construction picks the stock pool and the assembly path.
Size and teeth
The outside diameter, bore and thickness fix the body, with the tooth count and tooth form driving the milling and grinding time.
Grade and finish
The HSS grade, the drive pattern for a segmental blade and a surface treatment such as steam or TiN, each priced through your own rates.
Priced to how it is made
Every price shows its build up
The price is built from how the part is made, never a single opaque number. Every rate below is an illustrative starting default you edit; nothing here is Kabaido pricing advice.
Solid · 315 mm · 32 mm bore · 180 teeth · form B · DMo5 / M2 · steam
- Body
- An HSS plate or an alloy body matched from your stock pool, or priced from the steel rate.
- Tooth milling and grinding
- The tooth count drives the milling and grinding time, on your own rates per tooth.
- Assembly and treatment
- Segment assembly where it applies, plus heat treat and the surface treatment.
- Setup
- Your setup cost, spread across the batch quantity.
Lead time 10 days. Modelled from the seeded preset, for illustration only.
Matched from your stock
Priced from what you hold
A configured price is only as good as what stands behind it. Kabaido prices from the stock you hold and asks when it does not know.
- Stock matching
- A solid blade matches an HSS plate from your stock pool, and a segmental blade matches an alloy body and its segments, each carried as its own line in the breakdown. When nothing fits, the body is priced from your steel rate so a request still returns a price.
- Reserved when the order lands
- Ordering a configured product reserves the matched stock, so the item you priced is the one set aside. Low stock raises a banner before it bites.
- It asks rather than guesses
- When a request leaves a parameter open, Kabaido asks a clarification instead of inventing a value. Missing means a question, not a guess.
CAD import
Bring your CAD and let it autofill
This category accepts DXF drive pattern (optional). Import a file to autofill the inputs and as a reference, computed deterministically in your browser.
Export from the CAD you already run, then drop the file on the configurator. A 3D solid autofills the bounding box, the volume and the surface area; a 2D profile supplies the cut length, the pierce count and the material area, and is drawn to scale on the run. The figures fill the inputs, and you confirm or correct them before anything is priced, so the import is autofill and reference, never a guess.
STEP files (.step or .stp), STL (.stl), DXF (.dxf) and DWG (.dwg) are read today. IGES and Parasolid are on the roadmap. The analysis runs in your browser, so only the derived numbers and a file hash travel with the run; the model stays on your machine until you choose to attach it. The full behaviour lives in Configure.

Documents
The drawing and the work order
A configured line carries its paperwork. Two documents come off every run, so the part is quoted and made on the same figures.
The engineering drawing
A dimensioned 2D drawing of the configured part, generated from the same parameters that priced it. It travels with the line onto the quote PDF, the email and the customer portal.
The production work order
A work order for the shop floor that lists the matched stock, the operations and the parameters, so the part is made to the figures it was quoted on.
Applications and materials
What it cuts and what it is made from
HSS cold saw blades lean on these knowledge packs, so the request is read into structured values across the materials and applications they touch.
Cold saw blades cut metal cleanly and cool: solid HSS blades for smaller sections and tube, segmental blades for larger bar and structural stock where a replaceable segment earns its keep. The grade, tooth form and drive pattern is a different choice for each machine, and the configurator keeps those choices yours to set.
The cutting, materials and coatings knowledge packs sit beneath the work, so a request that names an HSS grade, a drive pattern by machine or a tooth form is read into the structured values the price needs.
Cutting
Cutting tools and blades, read across coatings, flutes, teeth and lengths.
Materials
Bar, plate and grades with condition and the certificates that ship.
Coatings
Coatings by type and thickness, with strip and recoat understood.
Servicing
And serviced when it comes back
The work does not end at the first sale. These service templates seed with the category, each priced through the same engine as a quote.
- Cold saw resharpening and re-segmenting
- A cold saw is resharpened, and a segmental blade has worn segments replaced, priced through your own rates.
Questions
The detail, answered
- A solid HSS blade suits smaller diameters and tube; a segmental blade on an alloy body suits larger sections where a worn segment can be replaced. The construction sets the stock pool and the assembly path.
- For a segmental blade the drive pattern is a parameter, matched to the machine it runs on. A DXF drive pattern can be uploaded where the pattern is non standard.
- The tooth count and tooth form drive the milling and grinding time, on your own rates per tooth, with heat treat and the surface treatment added on top.
