13.0 Blade Selection Guide<br />
Identify the material and thickness of your workpiece. The chart will show recommended PITCH, blade TYPE,<br />
and FEED RATE.<br />
Key: H – Hook L – Low<br />
S – Skip M – Medium<br />
R – Regular H – High<br />
Example: 10/H/M means 10 teeth per inch / Hook Type Blade / Medium Feed<br />
For Radius Cutting<br />
Tables 3 and 4<br />
Study the part drawing or prototype, or actually measure the smallest<br />
cutting radius required, and locate this radius (in inches) on the chart<br />
at the right. Follow the curve to where the approximate blade width is<br />
specified. If a radius falls between two of the curves, select the widest<br />
blade that will saw this radius.<br />
This procedure should be used for making initial blade selections.<br />
These recommendations can, of course, be adjusted to meet specific<br />
requirements of a cutting job. Compromises may be necessary if you<br />
cannot find all needed specifications in a single blade.<br />
