Operating Instructions
Saw blades
The JET14-inch saws accept blades from 1/8-
inchwide to 3/4-inch wide. The narrower widths are
used for cutting shapes or circles; the wider widths
are used for straight cuts.
inchwide to 3/4-inch wide. The narrower widths are
used for cutting shapes or circles; the wider widths
are used for straight cuts.
For straight cuts, use the widest available saw
blade. A wide blade provides cutting stability, and
allows for more accurate and straighter cuts. Blade
speed affects the efficiency of the cut and the
service life of the blade. Good shop practice
requires that work-hardening materials, such as
stainless steel, require the cut be completed in a
single pass. Otherwise, the effect of stopping the
cut can result in hardening of the cut interface.

Other materials such as wood require higher blade
speeds to prevent fiber tearing. The chart in Figure
6 provides suggested blade speeds for various
types of materials. The recommended speeds
should be decreased 30 to 50% when using
carbon steel blades. (The chart provides speeds

workpiece at all times.

Different blade materials and tooth geometry (pitch
and set) permit sawing a wide range of common
and exotic materials. Contact your industrial
distributor for recommendations on specialized
blades. Using the correct blade can save you time,
trouble, and the possibility of dulling and premature
discarding of the blade you normally might use.
