NOTE:
(1) All conditions described above in chart 2 and 3 are based on the use of Electron Weld
Bimetal Blade. 4/3 T.P.I.
(2) The workpiece is 6 inch round and solid ,normalized heat treatment ,and there are no hard
spots in the material.
(3) The cutting surface concave or convex by 1.0mm is permitted.
(4) For production Band and Super Electron Weld ,speed may usually be increase up to 10
﹪
.
(5) Decrease speeds by 50
﹪
for NEO_TYPE and CARBON Bands.
(6) As a guide that "The larger workpiece (compare to the 6 inch),the slower blade speed."
