Definition
Efficient processing and optimum cutting results require careful coordination of the saw blade cutting speed and the saw blade feed rate, whereby the material strength, the shape of the workpiece and its cross-section play a central role. The cutting speed is the speed at which the saw blade moves. It is specified in meters per minute (m/min) or feet per minute (ft/min).

Basic rules for optimum adjustment
- The higher the material strength, the lower the cutting speed.
- The smaller the workpiece cross-sections, the higher the cutting speed.
- Tubes and profiles are sawn at a lower cutting pressure than solid material.
- The finer the toothing, the smaller the chip chambers.
- The feed rate must be adapted to the tooth pitch in order to avoid overfilling the chip chambers.
