TOOTH
SELECTION
You need to consider:
1.The width of the cut. That is, the distance in the cut that each tooth must travel from the
point it
Enter the work piece until it leaves the work piece, and
2.The shape of the work piece.
Squares, Rectangles, Flats (Symbol :
)
Locate the width of cut on the chart. (Inches on the outer circle and millimeters
on the inner circle.) Select the tooth pitch on the ring marked with the square
shape which aligns with the width of cut.
EXAMPLE: 6" (150mm) square, use a 2/3 Vari-Tooth.
Round Sollds (Symbol : )
Locate the diameter of your work piece on the chart. Select the tooth pitch on the
ring marked with the round shape which aligns with the size of stock you are
cutting.
EXAMPLE: 4" (100mm) round, use a 3/4 Vary-Tooth.
Tubing, Pipe, Structural’s( Symbol : O H ^ )
Determine the average width of cut by dividing the area of the work piece by the
distance the saw blade must travel to finish the cut. Locate the average width of
cut on the chart. Select the tooth Ditch on the ring marked with the tubing and
structural shape which aligns with the average width you are cutting.
EXAMPLE: 4"(100mm) outside diameter, 3"(75mm) inside diameter tubing.
4"(100mm) OD
=12.5 sq.ln. (79cm

)
3"(75 mm ) ID = 7.0 sq.ln. (44cm

Area = 5.5 sq.ln. (35cm

)
5.5 sq.ln. (35cm

) / 4" (100mm) distance =1.38(35mm) average width
1.38" (35mm), use a 4/6 Vary-Tooth
