Reciprocating Saw Blades-How do I know how many teeth per inch I need?
As with all other toothed linear edge cutting tools, it is very important to match the correct tooth size with the material being cut in order to get the maximum blade life and efficiency from your reciprocating saw blades. The rule of thumb is that at least three teeth should be engaged in the work at all times. Six to twelve teeth engaged in the work is optimum For very hard materials, more teeth per inch may improve performance. Use more teeth per inch for a smoother finish. For faster cutting, use fewer teeth per inch but maintain a minimum of three teeth in contact with the work at all times. |
