When you purchase a Baileigh Industrial Band Saw, there are a lot of things to consider. The most important element of a great cut is the blade. When cutting materials other than mild steel other variables come into play. Below is a brief guide to help you pick out the correct blade. Picking the right blade: Cutting mild steel or annealed material you would want no less than 3 teeth touching the material or no more than 24. The ideal amount of teeth touching the material at one time would be 6-12. When picking the correct tooth count you also want to consider the wall thickness too aggressive of a tooth count will cause the teeth to get caught in the side walls and you will break your teeth. Too fine of a tooth count will only cause a problem when you are cutting through the top or bottom of your material. This can cause premature blade wear or motor failure. 

Conditions that will influence pitch selection:


*Soft materials require fewer teeth and more gullet capacity.
*Hard materials require more teeth to share in the work and less gullet.
*Machine capabilities. Constant feed machines can use a coarser pitch. Gravity-feed machines will require a finer pitch.


Please remember that there are Proper Techniques for All Types of Shapes. Please consult a Baileigh Industrial Technician for help in choosing the correct blade for your application.


DIAGNOSING CUTTING ISSUES WITH BAND SAW BLADES:

Premature and Excessive Tooth Wear

* Feed pressure too light, increase lower band velocity
* Improper tooth selection, use a finer pitch
* Improper break-in with the new band. Velocity and feeding should be reduced in the first few cuts
* Teeth are running in the wrong direction. Be sure teeth are pointing in the proper direction
* Incorrect saw guide insert size for the band, allowing them to strike teeth 

Band Stalls in Work
* Feed pressure too great - decrease feed 
* Teeth too coarse, use finer tooth blade  Blade Making Belly-Shaped Cuts
* Increase tension 
* Adjust guides closer to work piece 
* Teeth too fine - use a coarse pitch 
* Decrease feed force 
* Teeth dull
