Blade Selection Guide
Identify the material and thickness of your workpiece. The chart will show the recommended PITCH,
blade TYPE, and FEED RATE.
Key: H – Hook L – Low
S – Skip M – Medium
R – Regular H – High
Example: 10/H/M means 10 teeth per inch / Hook Type Blade / Medium Feed
For Radius Cutting
Study the part drawing or prototype, or actually
measure the smallest cutting radius required, and
locate this radius (in inches) on the chart at the
right. Follow the curve to where the approximate
blade width is specified. If a radius falls between
two of the curves, select the widest blade that will
saw this radius.
This procedure should be used for making initial
blade selections. These recommendations can, of
course, be adjusted to meet specific requirements
of a cutting job. Compromises may be necessary if
you cannot find all needed specifications in a
single blade.
