BLADE SELECTION
An 8-tooth per inch general use blade comes installed with this metal cutting bandsaw.
Additional blades in 4, 6, 8, and 10 tooth pitches are available. However, 3 teeth should be
engaged with the workpiece at all times for proper cutting.
For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select the blade with
the correct number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the material being cut. The material size and
shape dictate tooth selection.
Located on the saw is a chart to determine the tooth pitch or TPI needed for cutting various
material types and shapes.
For piping, tubing, and structural the material thickness used is the average thickness that the
blade goes through during the cut.
