Teeth per inch (tpi) the number of teeth per inch (tpi) defines the pitch of the blade and can vary from less than 1 to 24. Thin-walled workpieces like tubes, pipes, sheet etc., require fine teeth, otherwise there is a risk of tooth damage or breakage. Large cross sections should be cut with a coars...
Page 10: General Information
General information 8 feed rate/chips it is important that each tooth of the bandsaw blade cuts a chip with the right thickness. This is determined by the selection of tooth pitch, band speed and feed rate. Start by selecting the right tooth pitch from the diagrams on page 9 and 10 then set your ban...

General infor m ation 9 tooth pitch for solid workpieces the diagram below will help you select the right pitch for cutting solids. The ideal choice is at the widest point of each field. Example 1: when cutting a Ø 6 inch (150 mm) bar, use 2 tpi, if an evenly pitched blade is your choice. Use a 2/3 ...
