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  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

Tooth Quantity Formula

Also see our article on Recomended RPM for Saw Blades.

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
