Blade Selection
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch (TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth per inch are better for cutting metal or plastic.
We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
