4.3 Speed of saw band
Set the required saw band speed (2).
4.4 Selection of tooth pitch and tooth form
When sawing with the metal band saw, make sure that the saw band is selected correctly resp.
that the saw band is correctly divided.
ATTENTION!
If the tooth pitch is too small and the cutting length too large, the cut material cannot be
absorbed by the tooth gap.
If the tooth pitch is too large, the saw tooth starts to chop; this can cause teeth to break out.
Example:
Profile material wall thickness 3 mm = tooth pitch 6 - 10 tpi (teeth per inch)
Profile material wall thickness 40 mm = tooth pitch 10 - 14 tpi (teeth per inch)
