In Example #1
•
8” (200mm) diameter #1045 Medium Carbon Steel solid bar is to be cut.
•
On the graph above find the Medium Carbon Steel Curve which represents the optimum blade speeds for 1045
Carbon Steel.
•
On the horizontal axis (effective material width axis) find number 8 which represents effective material width of an
8” (200mm) diameter solid.
•
Find the point where a vertical line from 8” (200mm) intersects the Medium Carbon Steel Curve.
•
From this intersection point run horizontally left to the vertical axis (optimum blade speed axis) and find the point
marked “200”.
•
For 8” (200mm) diameter, 1045 Carbon Steel solid bar 200 ft/min (60m/min) is the optimum blade speed.
NOTE:
Higher than optimum blade speed will cause rapid blade dulling. Lower than optimum blade speeds reduce cutting rates
proportionately and do not result in significantly longer blade life except where there is a vibration problem. If the blade vi
-
brates appreciably at optimum speed as most often occurs with structurals and bundles, a lower blade speed may reduce
vibration and prevent premature blade failure.
Material Hardness - The graph on the previous page illustrates blade speed curves for materials of hardness 20 RC (225
Bhn) or lower. If the material is hardened then the multipliers need to be used. These multipliers are given in the NOTE at
the bottom right of the graph. As the hardness increases the optimum blade speed decreases.
