How to Select & Order a Band Saw Blade 4 Selecting the Right Blade Step 1. Choose a Blade Style. Use the blade style table below to select a blade style for the material(s) you are cutting. The table gives the page number where each blade style is detailed. Step 2. Determine a Blade Pitch. Use the Bi-Metal or Tungsten Carbide blade pitch table on the next page to determine the correct pitch for the size of your work. Step 3. Determine a Blade Width. Most machines accept only one blade width. For contour sawing, choose the widest blade that can cut the smallest work radius. See the chart on...

5 Blade Pitch For best results a minimum of 3 teeth and maximum of 24 teeth should be in contact with the workpiece at any given time. Determining the proper pitch is based on the length of this contact. For solids, this length is determined by measuring the diameter of a round or the side of a rectangle. For tubing, use two to three times the wall thickness. For structurals, use the contact length through most of the cut. Find this length in the appropriate table below. • The primary pitch recommendation is in the thicker section directly above or below that length. • The secondary...

7 Always break-in a new band saw blade The blade break-in procedure dresses and strengthens new, ultra-sharp teeth. Proper break-in can increase band life by 25 to 50 percent. Breaking in the blade • Saw at the recommended band speed. • Cut at 1/2 the normal feed rate. (Cuts should take twice as long). • Cut for 20 minutes, then increase feed force in steps until you attain the normal cutting rate. To ensure penetration in very tough and work-hardening materials, you will need to apply more feed force and cut at a faster rate than described above. Sawing after break-in After break-in, as...
