7.1 Table of cutting capacity and technical details
8 MATERIAL CLASSIFICATION AND
CHOICE OF TOOL
Since
the
aim
is
to
obtain
excellent
cutting
quality,
the
various
parameters
such
as
hardness of the material,
shape and thickness, transverse cutting section of
the
part
to be
cut,
selection of the type of cutting blade,
cutting speed and control of
saw
frame
lowering.
These
specifications
must
therefore
be
harmoniously
combined
in
a single
operating
condition
according
to
practical
considerations and
common
sense,
so
as
to
achieve
an
optimum
condition that
does
not
require
countless
operations
to
prepare
the machine
when
there
are
many
variations
in
the
job
to
be performed.
The
various
problems
that
crop
up
from
time
to time
will
be
solved
more
easily
if
the
operator
has
a good
knowledge
of
these specifications.
8.1 Definition of materials
The
table
above lists
the
characteristics
of
the
materials
to
be
cut.
So
as
to
choose
the
right
tool
to
use.
8.2 Selecting blade
First of all the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, in
other words, the number of teeth per inch (25,4 mm)
suitable for the material to be cut, according to these
criteria:
