6.2. Band tooth selection
Band tooth size selection has a great influence on the band lifetime.
6.3. Workpiece clamping
The correct workpiece clamping can substantially influence the band life, the cut quality and precision allowing for a correct selection
of the tooth size. To insure optimal cut, productivity and lifetime apply the following clamping methods :
Rule: Minimally 4 tooth should be inside the workpiece when cutting but no more than 30 tooth
When cutting profile materials the following table is recommended for one piece cutting. While cutting in bundles, it is necessary to
count the wall thicknesses of all tubes in bundle and taking in consider their diameter.

Caution : These values do not apply to cutting of other material profiles. This should be decided individually with respect to the profile
form, the number of pieces in the bundle and the dimensions. Cutting of profile material will reduce the band life by up to one third due
to the interrupted cut.
