Blades and Blade Selection
The blade dimensions required for this band saw
is: .020" thickness, 1/2" width and 44-7/8" in length.
The special .020" thickness reduces fl exure fatigue
and provides maximum tooth life. To maximize cut-
ting life, use a blade with the correct pitch (teeth
per inch) for the specifi c cutting job.
Blades are 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 specifi c
size, shape and type of material to be cut. Gener-
ally, soft materials require coarse pitch blades and
hard materials require fi ne pitch blades. Use coarse
pitch blades for thick work and fi ne pitch blades for
thin work. It is important to keep at least three teeth
in the cut (see "Typical Application").
