9 About the Blades and Materials
9-1 Blade and Material Combinations
The table below provides information on combinations of materials and blades, cutting conditions, and useful life.
The figures for blade life are only estimates. The conditions described below may not apply all cases.
Before you perform cutting, be sure to carry out a cutting test to check and adjust the quality. (See "4-7 Performing a Cutting Test.")
If uncut areas remain even when you raise the blade force more than 50 or 60 gf higher than the values shown below, the blade has
reached the end of its service life. Replace with a new blade.
