Selecting the Material and Blade

Material and Blade Combinations

The table below is a general guide to suitable blades and cutting conditions for various types of material,
as well as to blade lifespan and other values under the respective conditions. Refer to it when selecting the
material and blade. Cutting conditions and blade life vary according to the hardness of the material and
the usage environment. Before you perform actual cutting, be sure to carry out a cutting test and make any
necessary adjustments.
 P. 38, "Adjusting the Blade Force," p. 39, "Adjusting the Cutting Speed"
If the material is not cut through completely even when the blade force is increased by 50 to 60 gf more than
the blade force values shown below, it means that the useful life of the blade has ended. Replace with a new
blade.
