How do I find the blade length?

From the circumference given in the machine's manual. Length and width are machine specific; the wrong size ruins blade tension and the cut wanders.

How do I choose tooth pitch?

By the section being cut: coarse for thick solid stock, fine for thin-walled tube and section, with at least three teeth in contact at all times.

Why do blades break early?

Usually wrong tension, wrong tooth pitch, or no cutting fluid. Running a new blade gently for the first cuts (breaking it in) extends its life.

Size and tooth pitch

Blade length (circumference) and width are machine specific and must match exactly. Tooth pitch follows the section: coarse for thick solid stock, fine for thin-walled tube and section — keep at least three teeth in contact.

Bimetal blades are the standard in metal; carbon steel blades are economical in timber and soft materials.
