Why is the blade on my Jet Saw dulling so fast?
- AAmanda CollinsAug 10, 2025
Premature blade dulling in your Jet Saw can occur for several reasons. If the teeth are too coarse, switch to a finer tooth blade. Reduce the blade speed if it’s too high or check technical literature for speed recommendations. Ensure adequate feed pressure to maintain efficient cutting. Reduce blade speed and increase feed pressure if encountering hard spots or scale on the material. For work-hardening materials like stainless steel, use a sharp blade and release some counterbalance spring pressure if necessary. Also, check that the blade is installed correctly with teeth pointing toward the right end of the saw. Finally, verify you are using the correct coolant or using coolant at all and that the blade tension is high enough to prevent slipping.
