Who is Kinkelder
Although Kinkelder is now known for its sawing blades and technology, the company started off in the Netherlands in 1945 to manufacture agricultural spraying equipment. Kinkelder expanded its manufacturing capabilities to start producing High Speed Steel (HSS) circular saw blades that can cut both ferrous metals that contain iron, and non-ferrous metals.
Over the years, Kinkelder has developed its technology and cutting tools to be a specialist in this field. Their knowledge of cutting tubes, bars and sheets in various metals is unrivalled compared to their competitors with its advanced, state of the art saw blades. By optimizing the cutting finish and performance of its saw blades to increase efficiency, Kinkelder is able to help their customers reduce their production cost.
What does Kinkelder offer?
There are two types of saw blades that Kinkelder offer, Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blades and High Speed Steel (HSS) blades. TCT saw blades have teeth that are coated in tungsten carbide which makes them extremely hard and durable. Depending on their model, these blades can cut through solid steel, steel bars and tubes.

HSS POWER 2.0 Thin kerf and low friction multilayer PVD coating for cutting thin walled tubes & profiles Superior surface finish and low friction multilayer PVD coating ensure low vibration, less burr and reduced risk of tube-end deformation. |
HSS POWER NX Ideal for cutting thin walled (stainless) tubes Special temperature resistant thin PVD coating that allows the blade to be used for extremely demanding applications, like fast cutting of thin walled products. |
Low friction for high speed cutting of harder materials Special wear resistant, multilayer PVD coating with a low friction coefficient, very high hardness and very high temperature resistance. |
Ideal for cutting (stainless) steel tubes and sticky materials Also suitable for cutting (thin walled) steel tubes and stainless steel flying cut-off applications. |
5. HSS Standard
Last but not least, Kinkelder’s HSS Standard saw blades are used to cut tubes and solids on manual and (semi-)automatic sawing machines.
Cost effective saw blade for thin walled tubes and profiles in (stainless) steel Cost efficient solution for cutting structural and non-alloy tool steel thin walled tubes. |
Reduced cutting time for mild steel tubes and solids Due to the higher oxidation temperature, the TiN coated Solar saw blade allows cutting of materials with high tensile strengths. |
The standard for all structural- and non-alloyed tool steel The Alpha saw blade has a blue Oxide surface layer for a longer blade life compared to the uncoated saw blade. |
