Tooth form :
Tooth form (Fig 30) has an effect on cutting rate.
‐ Regular (A) Standard blade form with evenly spaced teeth
and zero‐degree rake angle. Offers clean cuts at slower feed
rates.
‐ Skip tooth (B) More space between teeth, for good chip
removal and fast cuts.
‐ Double tooth (C) A skip tooth with larger gaps between
tooth sets; good chip removal, fast cutting.
‐ Reverse tooth (D) Prevents underside tear‐out, leaves clean
edge.
‐ Spiral (E) Cuts on all sides without turning workpiece; good
for narrow fretwork.
‐ Crown tooth (F) Cuts on both up and down strokes; good for
clean, splinter‐free edges.
A crown tooth blade may often be turned over for a fresh set
of cutting teeth.

Apply a generous amount of light oil (SAE 20).
Replace the bearing covers.
Motor brushes:
The collector brushes are due to wear and may need
replacement.
