The Model M1013 has these three blade speeds: 80, 120, These suggested blade speeds and 200 FPM. are an average for both High Carbon Blades and Bimetal Blades. Refer to your saw blade manufac- turer for exact speeds. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! Determine the best speed for your cut.
The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI) for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker type bimetal blades/HSS blades. Measure the material thickness. This However, for exact specifications of bandsaw measurement is the length of cut blades, contact the blade manufacturer.
