This product is part of the Wieländer+Schill range of professional body repair tools, developed specifically to meet the standards of Volkswagen AG workshop equipment (VAS). The VAS 1523/04 saw blade is a highly specialized cutting tool optimized for precise work in tight spaces and along complex curves.
Thanks to its narrow design, this saw blade is excellently suited for complex tasks where traditional tools have difficulty accessing or cannot follow the desired curves.
The VAS 1523/04 saw blade is designed to perform even the most demanding precision cutting tasks excellently.
Ideal application areas:
Mold making: For creating complex templates and molds.
Dashboard installation: For precise cuts in narrow, hard-to-reach areas.
Vehicle interior trim installation: For cutting interior elements requiring precise fitting.
Motorhomes and boat building: For machining complex structural elements where space is limited.
Key advantages:
Burr-free cutting: The tooth design guarantees a clean, burr-free cutting surface, minimizing the need for post-processing.
High flexibility: The Bi-Metal construction provides exceptional flexibility, which is essential for following tight curves without the blade breaking.
Specialist tool: Its narrow profile makes it a true specialist in hard-to-reach areas.
The product's technical specifications ensure reliable and durable performance during professional use.

The Bi-Metal (two-metal) structure of the saw blade is crucial for performance. This technology means combining two different metal alloys:
Tooth material: Generally high-speed steel (HSS) or a similarly hard alloy, which ensures the wear resistance of the cutting edges and efficient cutting through hard materials.
Blade body: A more elastic, flexible steel that absorbs vibrations and prevents the blade from breaking, especially during curved cuts.
This combination makes the VAS 1523/04 blade both extremely sharp and highly resistant to fatigue.
The VAS 1523 series offers blades with different tooth pitches for specific materials and cutting requirements. The VAS 1523/04 (18 tpi) is the specialist for medium-fine cuts, but it is worth getting to know the other members of the series as well:
VAS 1523/03 (14 tpi): Recommended for coarser cuts, cutting aluminum, wood, composite materials, and GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic). It provides higher cutting performance but results in a less fine surface.
VAS 1523/01 (24 tpi): Ideally suited for thin sheets, especially double or triple layer steels (HSS, ZStE, DP steel, TRIP steel), which are common in load-bearing structural elements of modern vehicles.
VAS 1523/02 (32 tpi): Universal saw blade for very thin sheets (up to 1.2 mm), ideal for installing new parts where the finest cut is necessary.
Within this palette, the VAS 1523/04 (18 tpi) represents the optimal balance of flexibility and fineness for machining medium-thick materials with complex shapes.
This special tool is available through official Wieländer+Schill distributors or via the local Volkswagen importer, thereby ensuring the supply of factory-quality spare parts for authorized repair shops.
