1st step

Select the correct blade type based on the area of application mentioned in the product description.

2nd step

Select the correct tooth pitch based on the tooth recommendation.

3rd step

4th step

Select cutting rate Vz (cm2/min) based on the cutting conditions chart. Also consider the calculation of cutting time and cutting feed rate.

1st step

Select the correct speed Vc (m/min) and cutting rate Vz (cm2/min) based on cutting conditions chart.

2nd step

You start with 70% of the regular cutting speed and 50% of the regular cutting rate.

3rd step

If vibrations still occur, change the speed carefully until they stop. A permanent chip formation is important during the whole cutting process.

4th step

After cutting approx. 400-600 cm2 or at least 15 minutes real cutting time for tubes and profiles you can first slowly turn up to final speed and then up to normal cutting rate.

Life time of saw blades mainly depends on the correct oil content in coolants, which should be checked regularly with the refractometer. For ordinary low and medium alloyed materials Honsberg recommends an oil content between 8-12%, for cutting high and highest alloyed steels 13-18%.
