The correct tooth pitch to use depends upon:
Material type
Size of work piece
Whether solid or a tube or thin-walled section
In
general, cutting thinner materials requires a finer tooth pitch with
more teeth per inch (tpi). Cutting thicker materials requires a coarser
tooth pitch with fewer teeth per inch. A fine tooth pitch cuts more
slowly but with a better quality of cut. A coarse tooth pitch cuts more
quickly but with a rougher quality of cut. Using too fine a tooth pitch
will overheat the blade and shorten blade life. Using too coarse a tooth
pitch will stop the blade or strip teeth.
Note that it may be necessary to vary the tooth pitch used up or down from the recommended value according to experience.
Pitches for Wood-Cutting
Thickness Tooth Pitch
6mm - 12mm 8tpi
12mm - 20mm 6tpi
20mm - 30mm 4tpi
Over 30mm 3tpi
Pitches for Metal-Cutting of Solid Sections
Optimum
tooth pitches for metal-cutting vary considerably depending on the
hardness and toughness of the metal. The recommended pitches shown below
are for solid sections of mild steel. They should be increased (finer
pitch) for tough materials such as stainless steel and decreased
(coarser pitch) for soft materials such as aluminium. See the cutting
chart for more specific recommended tooth pitches for different
materials.
Thickness Tooth Pitch
Up to 6mm 18tpi or 14/18vp
6mm - 12mm 14tpi or 8/12vp
12mm - 25mm 10tpi or 6/10vp
25mm - 75mm 6tpi or 4/6vp
75mm - 125mm
4tpi or 3/4vp
125mm - 200mm 3tpi or 2/3vp
