VG cutting blade is made in Europe. Three class of blade are available: Economical, Durable, and Extra-Durable.
Economical Blade is made from DMo5 Bright,
Durable Blade is made from DMo5 Black HAWK,
Extra-Durable Blade is made from Co5% Black HAWK
The blades has been universally designed and developed for all kind of orbital pipe/tube cutting machine, i.e. this blade can be used on machine from other manufacturers. The blade is suitable for cutting all kind of standard metal material.

| Material | This blade is made by HSS with Mo 5% W6% Cr4% V2% | This blade is made by HSS with Mo 5% W6% Cr4% V2% | This blade is made by HSS with Mo 5% W6% Cr4% V2%, Co 5% |
| Hardness | The hardness of the blade is between 63 to 65 Hrc. The outside surface hardness reaches 800 HV. | The outside surface hardness reaches 3400 HV! | HSS material can reach 66 Hrc. The outside surface hardness reaches 3400 HV! |
| Application | Good to cut any kind of material. The special surface grinding allows it to cut very soft materials e.g. copper, brass, aluminum | Good to cut any kind of material, stainless steel or any steel but with high performance | Good to cut any kind of material. Ideal for Ti or Inconel and stainless steel but with high performance. |
| Working Life | Blade working life depends on the material of pipe, the OD, and the wall thickness | Durable has 40% more life than Standard Blade, or 60% more life if cutting stainless steel. | Extra-durable blade has 50% more life than standard, and 100% more if cutting stainless steel |
| Instruction | This blade is NOT suitable for dry cutting, must be used with coolant or at least good quantity of cutting oil | This blade is suitable for dry cutting or misting fluid cooling. | This blade is suitable for dry cutting or misting fluid cooling. |

Direction: Add 1-2 drops of lubricant on the top of blade teeth for every two lines of cutting.
Lubricant would effectively lower cutting temperature, extend blade life, and improve cutting result. For more details, please refer to VG's orbital cutting machine operation manual.
