Types of tooth set
By means of the tooth set, where the teeth protrude alternately left and right beyond the blade body, free-cutting action of the band saw blade is achieved.
Standard set (SD)
The standard set is an all-purpose set for cutting thicknesses of more than 5 mm (3/16”) of steels, castings and hard non-ferrous metals.
With constant tooth pitch the set sequence is left/right/straight.
Toothing interval
With variable tooth pitch one tooth in each toothing interval is unset. The remaining teeth in the interval are recurrently set left/right.
Group set (GS)
For band saw blades in the tooth pitch range of 4-18 tpi improved surface quality is obtained with group set.
Right-left set (RL)
With materials that are easy to cut, such as non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood, a right/left set is particularly effective.
Wavy set (WS)
With material dimensions up to 5 mm (3/16”), such as sheets, thin-walled tubes and profiles, we recommend wavy set.
