Frequently Asked Questions

~ Incorrect tooth selection (tooth pitch too fine or too coarse)
~ The material being cut is not securely clamped, or the vice has moved
~ The saw blade has been used when excessively dull
~ Feed rate too high
~ Rotational speed too high
~ Material too hard
~ Incorrect cutting (plunge) angle
~ Poor sharpening
~ Incorrect saw blade type

~ Saw blade too thick
~ Incorrect tooth selection (tooth pitch too coarse)
~ Dull saw blade or poorly sharpened circular saw blade

~ High rotational speed
~ Incorrect saw blade type (uncoated blade)
~ Incorrect cutting (plunge) angle
~ Feed rate too high
~ Incorrect tooth selection

~ Incorrect tooth selection (tooth pitch too fine)
~ Saw blade without cooling slots
~ Rotational speed too high
~ Feed rate too high

~ Misaligned weld
~ Incorrect tooth selection
~ Feed pressure too low

~ Worn or faulty shaft bearings or guides
~ Rear guides positioned too far forward
~ Side guides rubbing against the teeth
~ Incorrect blade tension
~ Guide arms too far apart
~ Lack of regular maintenance
~ No 2 mm clearance between the blade back and the band wheel; the wheel is worn and the teeth ride on it

~ Small band wheel diameter (short blade length due to the machine design)
~ Welding defect, overlapping teeth
~ Welding defect, blade not welded on an automatic machine (manual tempering performed incorrectly)

~ The cutting-edge angle is too acute for hard or tightly wound material
~ Incorrect sensor setting (entry into the material)

~ High rotational speed, machine designed for abrasive cutting discs (peripheral speed should be 25 m/s)
~ Incorrect cutting (plunge) angle (box sections are entered at a corner)
~ Excessive machine vibration
~ Incorrect tooth selection
