BLADE SELECTION
This section of the manual is meant to be a refence guide only. If you are
unsure which blade to use please contact your local blade supplier.
Tell-tale Metal Chips
Chips are the best indicator of correct feed force. Monitor chip
information and adjust feed accordingly.
Thin or powdered chips – increase feed rate or reduce blade speed.
Burned heavy chips – reduce feed rate and/or blade speed.
Curly silvery and warm chips – optimum feed rate and blade speed.
Material Hardness & Pitch
When choosing the blade with the proper pitch, one factor you should consider is the hardness of the
material that is being cut: the harder the material, the finer the pitch that is required.
Having a variety of tooth configurations in the same width will give you an acceptable choice for a
particular job. There are certain things that indicate if a blade has a proper pitch, too fine a pitch or
too coarse a pitch. Some are listed below:
Proper Pitch:
• Blades cut quickly.
•
A minimum amount of heat is created when the blade cuts. Minimum feeding pressure is required.
•
Minimum horsepower is required.
•
The blade makes quality cuts for a prolonged period.
Pitch Is Too Fine:
•
The blade cuts slowly.
•
There is excessive heat, which causes premature breakage or rapid dulling.
•
Unnecessarily high feeding pressure is required.
•
Unnecessarily high horsepower is required. The blade wears excessively.
Pitch Is Too Coarse:
•
The blade has a short cutting life.
•
The teeth wear excessively.
•
The bandsaw vibrates.
Causes of Blade Breakage
1. Excessive blade thickness in relation to the flywheel diameter.
2. Defective weld.
3. Incorrect tension, particularly if the blade is over tensioned; the tension spring no longer fulfills its
function.
4. After use it is recommended that you slacken the tension, especially overnight. (Be sure to place a
clearly visible note on the machine that you have done this).
5. Misalignment of the flywheels.
6. Irregularity of flywheel surface, for instance, an accumulation of chips while cutting.
You can correct these problems by readjusting the machine, changing the way you operate it or by
changing the blade. Try only one change at a time.
