- Thick and/or blue---coloured swarf means that the blade is overloading.
- Long twists of swarf are a sign of optimal cutting conditions.
Lubricant/coolant fluid
The lubricant/coolant fluid must ensure so that neither the saw teeth nor the work
piece material in the cutting zone overheat. Furthermore, there must be a
sufficient quantity and pressure of lubricant/coolant to remove swarf from the
cutting zone. The lubricant/coolant fluid must be of the highest quality in order to
prevent tooth abrasion and welding of swarf to the teeth themselves (seizing).
