Spindle speeds
The larger or harder the material the slower the speed. The thinner or softer the material the faster the spindle speed.
Example: 3" Solid cold rolled 25 RPM
2" Solid stainless 25 RPM
2" X 1/8" wall tubing 50 RPM
2" Solid aluminum 50 RPM
Blade Selection
For Non-Ferrous Cutting Head
Same rules apply as with the Ferrous cutting head. Your selection of teeth configurations are more limited with
carbide. For solid material from 2" to 4" (non ferrous) a 14" X 60 tooth blade is recommended.
Solid material from 1" to 2" a 14" X 84 tooth blade is recommended. For materials less than 1" a 14" X 100 tooth blade is
recommended.
Warning!!!!!
Never use a blade that is cracked, dull, or missing teeth .
Different blade types
There are different types of grinds for carbide, Positive pitch and negative pitch. You may select a positive pitch blade for
more aggressive cutting And a negative pitch for thinner material.
How to use the saw pitch calculator
( Graphic on following page )
Look at side1, select type of material to be cut from the vertical window on the left side of the material menus. Slide
the inner portion so the arrow lines up with the size being cut. The horizontal window will display the
Blade pitch. Knowing the pitch turn over and read side 2. In the left hand column find the
pitch from the other side. Slide the arrow to this pitch number. Above the horizontal
Window is displayed different blade sizes. Select blade size wanted, and read the
Number below it this is the number of teeth needed.
Example
:
Material 2 1/2" round solid mild steel. See figure 1 inset A
The pitch is 14mm. See figure 1 inset B
The blade diameter needed is 14". (Use this diameter for 14 1/2”) See figure 2 inset C
The number of teeth will be 80. See figure 2 inset D
Normally when cutting harder materials like stainless steel, you will use a pitch of 1 or 2 smaller. For softer materials like
aluminum, a pitch of 1 or 2 larger.
When miter cutting the next larger pitch blade may be needed.
If the chip packs into the gullet, slow feed down or use coarser blade.
