NOTES on Saw Blades: BLADES BREAK FOR FIVE PRINCIPAL REASONS:

HOW TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT BLADE FOR THE JOB?

1. Too much tension or too little tension on the blade.

2. Overworking the blade by feeding the workpiece too fast.

3. Twisting or bending the blade by feeding the workpiece off-centre.

4. Over use, the blade has reached the end of its useful life.

5. Maximum cutting depth 2”, optimum cuttting depth ¾” for which it was designed.

This fretsaw accepts a wide variety of blade widths and thicknesses. The width of the blade, the thickness of the

blade, and the number of teeth per inch (TPI) are determined by the type of material and size of the radius being

cut. Here are several examples:

TPI WIDTH THICKNESS MATERIAL

2.8mm

0.11”

0.5mm

0.020”

Medium curves on 114” to 1-3/4”

wood, wallboard, hardboard.

2.8mm

0.11”

0.5mm

0.020”

Same as above, plus wood 1/8” to

1-1/2” thick

2.4mm

0.095”

0.25mm

0.010”

Extra thin cuts on soft woods to 1/4”

and parquetry

As a general rule, select the narrowest blades recommended for intricate curve

cutting and widest blades for straight and large curve operations.

ACCESSORIES IN OUR CATALOGUE.

1. Apply a thin coat of paste wax on the work table

from time to time. This will help the wood glide across

the table more smoothly.

2. After every 50 hours of use, lubricate the lower arm/

drive bearing with 3-IN-ONE oil, (part no. 510053), by

removing the side panel of the saw.(See ﬁgs 20 & 21).
