What are the pitch-by-pitch characteristics of portable band saws?
Portable band saws come in different types of saw blade pitches.
The saw blade pitch refers to how many peaks ( number of flutes ) there are in 1 inch (25.4 mm).
Workability can be improved by selecting the appropriate saw blade pitch.
The "S" notation after the number of mountains indicates the blade shape.
The "S" indicates that the blade shape is a rake blade shape, which is suitable for materials that do not connect chips, steel with a high carbon content, and castings. It is also suitable for thin-walled plates.
18 Mountains
It is the finest pitch in the pitch of a bimetal band saw.
When the pitch is calculated, it is about 1.4 mm, and it is better not to use it except for thin materials.
If the saw blade becomes clogged, it is easy for the saw blade to slip, so be careful.
14 Mountains
This is the most popular saw pitch for portable band saws, and in many cases, these 14 peaks are used.
By looking at the cutting conditions at this pitch, you can select a case with 10 peaks and a case with 18 peaks.
10 Mountains
Especially when the muku wood or the workpiece to be cut is thick, these 10 piles are used.
However, when used on thin materials, the saw blade bites quickly due to the coarse saw blade pitch.
It is easy to spill the blade, so please select carefully.
10/14 Mountain, 8/12 Mountain
10/14 is a variable pitch of 10~14 mountains between 1 inch. On 8/12 mountain, it will be a variable pitch of 8 ~ 12 mountains. Since the blade alignment is unequal (variable), it is used as a versatile type except for thin materials.
Excellent cutting performance is also often used as a valuable presence.
