TOOTH SELECTION
For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select the blade with
the right number of teeth per inch for the material being cut. The material size and shape dictate
tooth selection.
You need to consider:
The width of the cut. That is, the distance in the cut that each tooth must travel from the point it
enters the work piece until it leaves the work piece, and the shape of the work piece. Use the
chart above to assist with tooth selection.
•
Squares, Rectangles, Flats (Symbol:

)
Locate the width of your work piece on the chart. (Inches on the outer circle and
millimeters on the inner circle.) Select the tooth pitch on the ring marked with square
which aligns with the width of the cut.
Example: 6” (150mm) square, use a 2/3 Vari-Tooth.
