Sterling SAR Range of Circular Saws – Precision Cutting for Aluminium Sections
The Sterling SAR range of circular saws is engineered for high-performance cutting of aluminium sections and extrusions. Designed to deliver smooth, accurate, and efficient cutting, these saws are the ideal solution for fabricators, manufacturers, and metalworking professionals who require precision when working with aluminium.
With a combination of high blade speeds, pull-down operation, and manual or pneumatic clamping options, the SAR series is versatile and adaptable to different production environments. Whether used for single cuts or batch production, these saws ensure consistency and reliability in every application.
Key Features of the Sterling SAR Circular Saws
High Blade Speeds for Clean, Precise Cuts
One of the standout features of the Sterling SAR range is its high blade speed, which is crucial when cutting aluminium. The increased cutting speed ensures a smooth finish with minimal burring, reducing the need for secondary finishing processes such as deburring or polishing. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for industries requiring high-quality edge finishes, such as architectural fabrication, automotive production, and aerospace manufacturing.
Pull-Down Operation for Easy Handling
The pull-down operation of these saws allows for smooth, controlled cutting, ensuring that operators can achieve precise results with minimal effort. This design enhances both accuracy and safety, providing a controlled descent of the cutting blade through the material. The ergonomic design also reduces operator fatigue, making it a practical choice for environments where repetitive cutting is required.
For further ease of handling, you can pair our circular saws with a vast range of Roller Track and Measuring Systems for increased ergonomics and efficiency.
Manual or Pneumatic Clamping Options
The Sterling SAR series offers both manual and pneumatic clamping options, allowing users to choose the best system for their specific needs:
- Manual clamping is a simple, cost-effective solution for workshops with lower production volumes or more varied cutting requirements.
- Pneumatic clamping is ideal for higher-volume production settings, reducing operator workload and ensuring consistent pressure on the material, which results in greater precision and repeatability.
Advanced Cutting Technology – TCT Blades for Maximum Performance
TCT Toothed Cutting Blades
Each machine in the Sterling SAR range is equipped with Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blades, ensuring long-lasting durability and superior cutting performance. TCT blades are designed to withstand the high-speed cutting of aluminium without excessive wear, making them ideal for both light and heavy-duty applications.
Customisable Tooth Pitch for Different Applications
The tooth pitch of the TCT cutting blades can be tailored to the specific material section and required finish, allowing for greater flexibility in different cutting applications.
- Fine tooth pitch: Ideal for thin-walled extrusions, providing a smooth, burr-free finish.
- Coarse tooth pitch: Suitable for thicker aluminium sections, ensuring fast and efficient material removal while maintaining quality.

Versatility in Application – Ideal for Aluminium Fabrication
The Sterling SAR circular saws are widely used across various industries that require precise and efficient aluminium cutting:
Architectural and Structural Aluminium Fabrication
In construction and architectural fabrication, aluminium sections are commonly used for window frames, doors, curtain walling, and façade systems. The high-speed cutting capability of the SAR range ensures that these components can be cut quickly, accurately, and with minimal finishing required.
Automotive and Aerospace Manufacturing
The automotive and aerospace sectors demand high precision and repeatability when cutting aluminium components for vehicle frames, body panels, and structural supports. The SAR range’s ability to handle thin and thick sections with equal precision makes it a valuable asset in these industries.
General Metalworking and Fabrication
For metal fabrication shops, the SAR range offers a reliable and user-friendly solution for cutting aluminium profiles, tubes, and solid sections. The versatility of blade tooth pitches allows fabricators to achieve the desired finish on a variety of materials and thicknesses.
Efficiency and Productivity – Designed for Industrial Use
Minimal Maintenance and Long Blade Life
The TCT cutting blades used in the Sterling SAR saws are built to last longer than standard steel blades, reducing the need for frequent blade changes and maintenance. This extends the lifespan of the saw while minimising downtime in busy production environments.
Operator Safety and Comfort
- Stable cutting operation ensures operator safety, reducing the risk of material slippage during cutting.
- Ergonomic pull-down handle allows for comfortable use, even during long cutting sessions.
- Optional extraction systems help reduce dust and debris, maintaining a clean working environment.
Choosing the Right Model – Meeting Your Cutting Requirements
The Sterling range includes several models to accommodate different cutting capacities, production volumes, and workshop requirements. When selecting the right model, consider the following:
- Material size and thickness – Choose a model with the appropriate cutting capacity.
- Production volume – For higher output, pneumatic clamping can enhance efficiency.
- Required finish quality – Selecting the right blade tooth pitch ensures the best results for your specific application.
