Choosing the optimal tooth pitch for your workpiece
This is how you select the right number of teeth per inch (tpi) for the Band Saw Blade
Choosing the right tooth pitch is crucial for precise and efficient cuts. The tooth pitch is determined and influenced by the number of teeth per inch (tpi). A higher number of teeth means a fine tooth pitch, while a lower number of teeth provides a coarser tooth pitch.
Ideal cutting speed and feed rate for your Band Saw Blades
The selection of the correct saw blade cutting speed and the saw blade feed rate depends largely on the material strength, the workpiece shape and the workpiece cross-section. Precise adjustment of these parameters ensures efficient processing and optimum cutting results.
Basic rules for cutting speed and feed rateHow to ensure the correct break-in procedure
Correct break-in is important for a long service life and the reduction of tool and set-up costs. At the start of cutting, the particularly sharp tooth tips should not be fully loaded immediately, as overloading can lead to damage or chipping of the Band Saw Blade at an early stage. Correct break-in ensures that the cutting edges round off perfectly, which significantly improves the performance and durability of the tool.
Tips for correct saw blade tension
The correct saw blade tension is an important factor for precise cuts. Tension that is too low can cause crooked or inaccurate results
For Band Saw Blades with a width of up to 27 mm, we recommend a tensile stress of at least 200 N/mm² (29.000 PSI).
For Band Saw Blade widths between 34 and 80 mm, the tensile stress should be at least 250 N/mm² (36.000 PSI).
Optimize your cutting results with the right saw blade tension.

Cooling lubrication: Extends the service life of the Band Saw Blade
Cooling lubricants prevent overheating of the saw teeth and the workpiece. As a result, the service life of the band saw blade can be increased. It also helps to transport the chips from the cutting surface to the collection container.
It is customary on the market to saw with a cooling lubrication emulsion. Depending on the material to be sawn, the mixing ratio is from 1: 5, 1: 10 up to 1: 30.
Cooling LubricantsHow can you ensure the long performance of your sawing machine?
Regular maintenance and specific checks will keep your sawing machine in perfect condition. We recommend a periodical check of the sawing machine. For example, the chip clearing brushes, the saw blade guide and the cooling lubrication should be checked daily for proper function.
Regular review is also important for:
› the concentration of cooling lubrication
› the band saw blade tension
› the band saw machines wheels on play
› the hydraulic system (if available)
