It supersedes BS 3877 : 1979 which is withdrawn. BS 3877

9、: 1991 takes into consideration agreements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reached on this subject as contained in ISO 4875-1, ISO 4875-2 and ISO 4875-3, but differs from these specifications in some respects, mainly insofar as types and listed sizes are concerned and the

10、 respective tolerances on widths and flatness. It also differs from the ISO standards in that additional clauses have been added to cover testing and general quality requirements. This revision now covers only three basic types of metal cutting bandsaw blades, carbon steel flexible, carbon steel tou

11、ghened and bimetallic bandsaws; other types have been excluded. One essential feature of this revision that has been retained is the main metric physical dimensions (widths, thicknesses and pitches of tooth) which follow a recognized Renard series of preferred numbers (see BS 2045). Imperial dimensi

12、ons are no longer included. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.3 BS 3877 : 1991 Specification 1 Scope This British Standard specifies dimensions and tolerances for the following types of metal cutting bandsaw blades supplied either in coil fo

13、rm or cut to length and joined ready for use: a) carbon steel flexible bandsaw; b) carbon steel toughened bandsaw; c) bimetallic bandsaw. This standard includes a clause on testing but only insofar as a bend or flexing test is concerned. It also includes some other characteristics of the bandsaw. Sa

14、fety recommendations are given in appendix A. NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply: 2.1 bandsaw An endless blade manufactured from a continuous s

24、om the side of the blade to provide cutting clearance. NOTE. See figure 2. 2.4.2 total set The sum of the amount of setting on both sides of the blade not including the blade thickness. NOTE. See figure 2. 2.4.3 overall set The total thickness of the blade taking into account the set on either side

25、of the blade which determines the overall width of cut. NOTE. See figure 2. 2.5 Tooth shapes NOTE. Tooth shape may vary according to manufacture and use. The basic tooth shapes are as listed in 2.5.1 to 2.5.5. 2.5.1 regular tooth A tooth having zero degree rake angle and full round gullets. NOTE. Se

26、e figure 3 (a). 2.5.2 skip tooth A tooth of basically regular tooth shape, every alternate tooth being removed thus obtaining a large pitch giving a longer tooth gullet without making the tooth depth too great at the expense of blade strength. NOTE. See figure 3 (b).6 BS 3877 : 1991 Figure 3. Tooth

29、th A tooth similar to a regular or skip tooth except that the rake of the tooth is positive. NOTE. See figure 3 (c). 2.5.4 positive rake tooth A tooth similar to the regular tooth form except that the rake angle is positive and the tooth may have a duplex wedge angle. NOTE. See figure 3 (d). 2.5.5 v

30、ariable tooth Normally a regular or positive tooth shape but where the tooth pitch and depth varies progressively from large to small then back to large over a short distance, the cycle being repeated throughout the bandsaw. NOTE. The positive version may have a duplex wedge angle. See figure 3 (d).

31、 2.6 Types of set 2.6.1 raker set The transverse setting of individual teeth, one set to the right, one to the left, and one non-set (or vice versa). NOTE. See figure 4 (a). 2.6.2 wavy set The transverse setting of groups of teeth, set to the right and left, the amount of set varying in a sinusoidal

32、 manner along the bandsaw. NOTE. See figure 4 (b). 2.6.3 variable raker set Used on regular and variable tooth bandsaws where teeth are set in a balanced pattern repeated over the distance of the multipitch. NOTE. See figure 4 (c). 2.7 Types of metal cutting bandsaw blades 2.7.1 carbon steel flexibl

33、e blades Blades made from high carbon, low alloy steel; the toothed edge is heat treated to a high hardness, but above the base of the gullet so that flexibility is not impaired. NOTE. The body of the blade is generally non-heat treated and is therefore soft. 2.7.2 carbon steel toughened blades Blad

34、es similar to the carbon steel flexible type except that the body has been treated to offer a higher degree of stiffness. 2.7.3 bimetallic blades Blades made with a cutting edge of different material, although not the whole tooth, to that of the rest of the blade. NOTE. Normally the cutting edge is

35、high speed steel, M2, Matrix II, M42 being common, while the rest of the blade is a low alloy spring steel. 3 Blade widths, thicknesses and pitches 3.1 Basic dimensions The blade widths, thicknesses and pitches shall be selected from the series of preferred numbers as detailed in tables 1, 2 and 3 r

36、espectively. NOTE. These are nominal sizes only for blade selection purposes. 3.2 Tolerances NOTE. No specific tolerances are quoted for blade widths, thicknesses and pitches since these are at the discretion of the manufacturer in order to optimize the performance of the bandsaw and could vary depe

37、nding upon application. 3.2.1 Tooth set The variation in set shall be toleranced as follows. a) The side set on opposite sides of the blade shall not differ at any point by more than 0.1 mm. b) The overall set at any point of the blade shall not differ from that at any other point of the same blade

38、by more than 0.2 mm. NOTE. The amount of overall set is at the manufacturers discretion. 3.2.2 Flatness (See figure 5.) The blade shall be flat across the sectional profile exclusive of set within the tolerance of 0.02 mm per 10.0 mm of blade width.8 BS 3877 : 1991 Figure 4. Types of set Figure 5. F
