Blades and Blade Selection
The blade dimensions required for this band saw is:
.020" thickness, 1/2" width and 35-3/8" in length. The
special .020" thickness reduces flexure fatigue and
provides maximum tooth life. To maximize cutting life,
use a blade with the correct pitch (teeth per inch) for
the specific cutting job.
Blades are available in several pitches. To select the
proper blade, three factors should be considered: The
size, shape, and type of material to be cut.
The following suggestions are for selecting the right
blade for various cutting operations. Keep in mind
that these are broad guidelines and that blade re-
quirements may vary depending upon the specific
size, shape and type of material to be cut. Generally,
soft materials require coarse pitch blades and hard
materials require fine pitch blades. Use coarse pitch
blades for thick work and fine pitch blades for thin
work. It is important to keep at least three teeth in
the cut (see "Typical Application").
10 Teeth per Inch
14 Teeth per Inch
18 Teeth per Inch
24 Teeth per Inch
