Selecting Blades
Selecting the correct blade type is important in order to obtain
the best performance of the saw. Select the blade based on
the application and on the material you wish to cut. Selecting
the right blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and prolong
the life of the blade.
Blades with fewer teeth are typically used for cutting wood,
while blades with more teeth are better for cutting metal or
plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for plastics and soft metals and
18 TPI for hard metals. Check the table below for details about
the included blades.
