Thin Rim Blades

Forrest Manufacturing’s thin rim blades are designed with a standard thickness center section and a thinner rim section, the blades have a narrow kerf and durablesuper abrasive-resistant, C4 carbide tips.

These combined features make thin rims ideal for sawing smoothly through 1/32 to 1/4” acrylic sheets, engraving stock, curved Formica® section plastic extrusions and thin wood veneers.

Thin rim blades come in two 80-tooth TCG plastikerf styles for cutting a variety of materials. The standard TCG plastikerf is especially effective for sawing one-sided laminates, acrylics, phenolics, styrenes and PVC sheets. The modified version is best suited for cutting acrylic sheets, one and two-sided Formica laminates, engraving stock and other chip-prone materials. The modified TCG plastikerf even eliminates chipping on the bottom sheet of acrylic when the saw is set to break only 1/32” through the bottom.

Like all its blades, Forrest hand straightens its thin rim blades for perfect flatness. Exceptional perimeter concentricity and side runout of +/- .001 ensure precision cutting. Additionally, high-grade carbide tips coupled with Forrest’s proprietary grinding techniques enable a 50 to 300 percent longer life between sharpenings. When sharpening is required, stateof- the-art in-factory services are available.
