M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw
Blade Selection
The Model M1048 uses 1293⁄8" x 11⁄16" bandsaw blades.
Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of mate- rial being cut, hardness of the material, material shape machine capability, and operator technique.
The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI) for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker type
To select the correct blade TPI do these steps:
1.Measure the material thickness. This mea- surement is the length of cut taken from where the tooth enters the workpiece, sweeps through, and exits the workpiece.
2.Refer to the "Material Width/Diameter" row of the blade selection chart in Figure 20 and read across to find your workpiece thickness you need to cut.
3.Refer to the "Material Shapes" row and find the shape and material to be cut.
4.In the applicable row, read across to the right and find the box where the row and column intersect. Listed in the box is the minimum TPI recommended for the vari- able tooth pitch blades.
5.The "Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation" section of the charts offers guidelines for various metals, given in feet per minute (speed FPM) and meters per minute in parenthesis. Choose the speed closest to the number shown in the chart.
