Why is the blade breaking so much on my SWISS TEC Saw?
- JJohn MilesAug 11, 2025
Excessive blade breakage on your SWISS TEC Saw can occur for several reasons. Materials may be loosening in the vise, so ensure you clamp your work securely. The speed or feed might be incorrect, requiring adjustment. The blade teeth spacing could be too large; consider replacing it with a blade that has smaller teeth spacing. If the material is too coarse, use a blade with a slow speed and small teeth spacing. Also, check the blade tension and adjust it, making sure the blade doesn't slip on the wheel. Other potential causes include the blade rubbing on the wheel flange (adjust wheel alignment), misaligned guide bearings (adjust guide bearings), using a blade that is too thick (use a thinner blade), or cracking at the weld (weld again).
