Saw Blade Design Considerations
T.I.R. is Total Indicator Reading
Blade Thickness = Plate + side clearance + tolerances
Kerf = width of cut = plate width + tip side clearance + wobble
We love to do custom work. Get a free quote on a custom saw blade using standard Carbide grade teeth or our Cermet II Saw tips that last 3-5 times longer than Carbide. Just send us your specifications and a drawing. Following is a chart we use in house for saw design. You can fill it out or have one of our cutting tool engineers consult with you. (We recommend using the engineer.)
