Blades and Blade Selection
To

The blade dimensions required for this band saw is:
0.5 mm thickness, 12.7 mm width and 776 mm in
length. The special 0.5 mm thickness reduces
flexure fatigue and provides maximum tooth life. To
maximise cutting life, use a blade with the correct
pitch (teeth per inch) for the specific cutting job.
Blades may be available in several pitches. To
select the proper blade, three factors should be
considered: The size, shape, and type of material to
be cut.
The following suggestions are for selecting the right
blade for various cutting operations. Keep in mind
that these are broad guidelines and that blade
requirements may vary depending upon the
specific size, shape and type of material to be cut.
Generally, soft materials require coarse pitch
blades and hard materials require fine pitch blades.
Use coarse pitch blades for thick work and fine
pitch blades for thin work. It is important to keep at
least three teeth in the cut (see "Typical
Application").
For tough stock 5 mm up to
25.4 mm in diameter or width.
For tough stock 4 mm to 19 mm
in diameter or width.
