This detailed product description refers to the Wieländer+Schill type VAS 882 003/1 HSS (High-Speed Steel) saw blade set, which was developed specifically in compliance with the workshop equipment standards (VAS) of Volkswagen AG. This tool belongs to the Separating Tools category and is excellently suited for the precise and efficient cutting of modern vehicle body components.
The VAS 882 003/1 saw blade is a newly developed, extremely versatile tool capable of handling even the most modern high-strength steels and alloys, up to a hardness of 1000 MPa. This specification is critically important with the proliferation of high-strength steels (HSS, UHSS) in vehicle manufacturing.
The saw blade's bi-metal construction guarantees a long service life and excellent cutting performance. The 18 tpi (teeth/inch) tooth pitch provides an ideal balance between fast material removal and a smooth cutting surface, especially when machining harder materials.
Key Advantages and Application Areas:
Wide Material Compatibility: Capable of cutting all steels and alloys with hardness up to 1000 MPa. This includes the high-strength steels common in modern vehicle body structures.
Longer Lifespan: The bi-metal design increases the tool's durability compared to conventional saw blades.
Optimal Cooling and Lubrication: For maximum service life and continuously optimal cutting performance strongly recommended suitable cutting fluid, especially the use of cutting oil, which protects the saw blade from excessive heating.
This product falls into the Wieländer+Schill OEM recommendations category, specifically optimized for Volkswagen AG workshops, ensuring repair quality compliant with factory specifications.

Applying the appropriate cutting technique and auxiliary materials is essential to achieve optimal tool performance and maximize its service life.
The friction and heat generated when cutting hard steels can significantly reduce the lifespan of the saw blade. Therefore, the manufacturer specifically recommends:
Cutting Oil: An excellent choice as it effectively cools the cutting surface, preventing the saw blade from overheating, which can cause premature wear of the teeth.
Appropriate Speed: The cutting speed must always be adjusted to the hardness of the material being machined. Excessive speed generates heat, which can negatively affect the properties of HSS materials.
This saw blade belongs to the VAS Separating Tools (VAS Separating Tools) family, which is part of the Volkswagen AG workshop equipment program. This ensures the tool meets the strict OEM quality and performance requirements expected during body repair work.
The VAS 882 003/1 HSS saw blade focuses on the harder end of the metal cutting spectrum. The list of related products highlights variants optimized for different materials:
VAS 882 003/4 Aluminum Saw Blade (10 tpi / 130 mm): This variant is specifically designed for aluminum castings, extruded profiles, multi-layer composites, as well as high-strength and extremely tough aluminum alloys. The lower 10 tpi tooth pitch and the longer 130 mm size help prevent the frequent clogging that occurs during aluminum cutting.
VAS 882 003/3 Aluminum Saw Blade (10 tpi / 100 mm): Similar to the previous one, this is also optimized for machining aluminum, but in a shorter 100 mm version.
VAS 882 003/2 UHSS Saw Blade (18 tpi / 90 mm / 5 pcs): This variant is designed for extremely high-strength steels (UHSS), featuring an 18 tpi tooth pitch, but is available in a shorter 90 mm length and in a smaller pack size of 5 pieces.
In summary: The VAS 882 003/1 is the ideal choice when cutting steels with hardness up to 1000 MPa is required, in a 100 mm length, with a fineness of 18 teeth per inch, in an economical pack of 10 pieces. The bi-metal technology and the application of appropriate cooling guarantee the reliability needed for professional body repair work.
