Tooth Shape
Note: When cutting thin materials, the rule for blade
pitch is to have a minimum of two teeth engaging
the material being cut at all times.
Standard Tooth - generally usedto cut ferrous
metals, hard bronze, hard brass, and thin metals.
Skip Tooth - have better chip clearance (larger
gullet) and are used on softer, non-ferrous materials
such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and soft
brass.
Hook Tooth - provides a chip breaker and has less
tendency to gum up in softer materials. Used in the
same materials as skip tooth but can be fed faster
than standard or skip tooth blades.
Set Type
Straight Set - used for free cutting non-ferrous
materials; i.e., aluminum, magnesium, plastics, and
wood.
Wavy Set - used on materials of varying thickness
(pipe, tubing, and structural shapes).
Raker Set - used in large cuts on thick plate and bar
stock where finish of cut is not as important as
speed.
Gage
Blade gage is the thickness of material from which
the blade is produced. The thicker the material, the
stronger the blade will be.
Kerf
Kerf is the width of a cut. Kerf will vary according to
set of blade teeth.
Blade Width
The narrower the blade, the tighter the minimum
radius of cut will be. Always use the widest blade
possible for the job.
