About Kinkelder
Kinkelder is an international manufacturer of circular saw blades for industrial steel sawing applications. Founded in 1945 in Zevenaar (Netherlands), the family-owned company produces carbide-tipped (TCT/HM), HSS and segment circular saw blades for sawing steel tubes, flying cut-off saws in tube mills and solid material. The product range includes the KINS' RED LT, MT, HT and Stainless series for steel grades with tensile strengths from 400 to over 900 N/mm² as well as austenitic and non-austenitic stainless steels. The value chain includes in-house R&D with a laboratory for analysis of composition, structure and geometry, highly automated production with individual inspection of every saw blade, proprietary PVD coating formulations, precision grinding and sawing process optimization by application engineers. With production sites in Europe and North America, subsidiaries in the EU, the United Kingdom, the USA and Asia, and a dealer network in almost 80 countries, Kinkelder supplies more than 60 countries. Customers include tube mills, steel service centers, the automotive and truck industry, mechanical engineering and OEM manufacturers of circular sawing machines.

TCT saw blades for high-tensile steel
For chromium, spring and hardened boron steels as well as duplex, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel with over 900 N/mm², cutting speed 60–140 m/min.
TCT saw blades for stainless steel
Special tooth geometry for austenitic and non-austenitic stainless steel, solid material with diameter over 35 mm, 80–120 m/min.
HSS circular saw blades
High-speed steel saw blades for sawing steel, product line since the mid-1960s.
KINS' YELLOW segment circular saw blades
For low- and medium-tensile steels as well as non-ferrous materials, robust and repairable.
PVD coating
In-house formulation, testing and application of the coating to increase tool life and cutting performance.
Cutting fluid
Biocide-free, semi-synthetic water-miscible cutting fluid (TRGS 611 compliant) for iron and aluminium applications.
