About the Book
A free practical guide for band saw operators, cutting-department supervisors and buyers who order band saw blades. Step by step, the book explains how to choose the tooth pitch (TPI) by wall thickness, how to get blade width, thickness and loop length right, which band speeds (m/min) and feed rates to start with when cutting structural, stainless and tool steels, how to break in a new bimetal M42 blade and how to change it correctly. A separate chapter covers cut defects: blade drift, burrs, overheating, chipped teeth and blade breakage, with their causes and a checking sequence. The book ends with a machine-side quick reference and a glossary. Each chapter includes photos of blades and machines and links to full tables, calculators and blade selection on the Stankotorg LLC website.
