2. Blade Selection
To obtain the best performance from the saw,
it is important to select the correct blade for the
application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 10 teeth per inch
(TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth are better for cutting metal or
plastic. We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics
and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
