The Model M1048 uses 129

blades.

Selecting the right blade for the job depends on

a variety of factors, such as the type of mate-

rial being cut, hardness of the material, material

shape machine capability, and operator technique.

The chart below is a basic starting point for

choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI)

for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard

raker type bi-metal blades/HSS blades. However,

for exact specifications of bandsaw blades, con-

tact the blade manufacturer.

To select the correct blade TPI do these steps:

Measure the material thickness. This mea-

surement is the length of cut taken from

where the tooth enters the workpiece,

sweeps through, and exits the workpiece.

Refer to the "Material Width/Diameter"

row of the blade selection chart in

Figure

and read across to find your workpiece

thickness you need to cut.

Refer to the "Material Shapes" row and find

the shape and material to be cut.

In the applicable row, read across to the

right and find the box where the row and

column intersect. Listed in the box is the

minimum TPI recommended for the vari-

able tooth pitch blades.

The "Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation"

section of the charts offers guidelines for

various metals, given in feet per minute

(speed FPM) and meters per minute in

parenthesis. Choose the speed closest to

the number shown in the chart.
