Choosing the Right Saw Blade Part 2

Things happen during manufacturing, which can make you lose your ever-loving mind, when sawing. One of these possibilities is that you JUST CANNOT saw a straight line or you are drifting to one side or the other. It might not be you!

Change your saw blade. If it keeps happening, open a new bundle and try again. If that doesn't work, use a different saw frame. If that still doesn't work, try a better quality of saw blades.

Saw blades do wear out. When teeth are dulled to the point where extra force must be used in cutting, it is best to replace the blade. Extra pressure decreases control; therefore, nothing is gained by this economy.

Often saw blades break before they wear out, a wasteful situation. This can be avoided or at least minimized with proper sawing procedures. The two main reasons for blades breaking are too much force used while sawing, and pinching the blade from twisting either the metal or the saw frame.
