Blades and Blade Selection
The blade dimensions required for the band saws
are: .020" thickness, 1/2" width and 35-3/8" in length.
The special .020" thickness reduces flexure fatigue
and provides maximum tooth life. To maximize cut-
ting life, use a blade with the correct pitch (teeth per
inch) for the specific cutting job.

Blades are available in several pitches. To select the
proper blade, three factors should be considered: The
size, shape, and type of material to be cut.
The following suggestions are for selecting the right
blade for various cutting operations. Keep in mind
that these are broad guidelines and that blade re-
quirements may vary depending upon the specific
size, shape and type of material to be cut. Generally,
soft materials require coarse pitch blades and hard
materials require fine pitch blades. Use coarse pitch
blades for thick work and fine pitch blades for thin
work. It is important to keep at least three teeth in
the cut (see "Typical Application").

18 Teeth per Inch

a. Pull the blade out of the guides.
b. Then, press the Blade Release Button to lift
the blade above the blade guard and remove
completely.
5. To install a blade:
a. Fit the blade around the pulleys.
NOTE: Be sure the teeth face out.
b. Firmly press the blade between the guides.
6. Turn the tension lock handle 180° clockwise to
secure the blade on the pulleys.
7. Adjust the material guide to the desired position.
8. Be sure that the blade lies freely within the guard
channel before starting the tool motor.
