Saw Blade Feed Speed and Tooth Quantity
Feed Speed Formula
Also see our article on calculating Saw Blade Chip Load, or refer back to the Industrial Saw Blade Indexfor more articles on Saw Blades.
| Rpm x no. of teeth | x | chip load | = | Feed Speed |
| 12 (inches per foot) |
Known:
No. Of Teeth ------- 60
RPM --------------- 3600
Chip Load ---------- 0.005”
Example:
3600 x 60 = 216,000 = 18,000 x .005 = 90
12 12
Feed Speed is 90 feet per minute

Formula
| Feeds speed (fpm) x 12 | = | no. of teeth |
| Rpm x chip load |
Known:
Feed Speed ----------- 90 fpm
RPM ------------------- 3600
Chip Load ------------ 0.005”
Example:
| 90 x 12 | = | 1080 | = | 60 |
| 3600 x 0.005 | 18 |
Number of Teeth is 60
