5 Tips for Purchasing a Grade Hand saw Blade

Those who begin to do work around the house , whether with wood or other materials , will sooner or later find it essential to have a grade hand saw blade . Its speed, precision and ease of manoeuvring increase your work capacity. we advise you so that you can choose the right one according to your needs.

Ever wonder why there are so many varieties of blades to choose from? It can be confusing. If all you need to do is make a single, rough cut in a piece of wood, then any blade will do the job. But most of us want to make numerous high-quality cuts in a variety of materials. That's why EAB has over 140 unique blades to choose from, each designed to produce optimal results for the job at hand.

Blade quality.

A quality blade offers a quality cut. EAB produces quality blades to cut virtually any material and fit any budget. The standards are high and the blades undergo extensive testing in our laboratory to ensure consistent premium quality. For light to medium jobs, the GEN (General Series) blades will certainly fill the need. PRO (Professional Series) is designed for the heavy-duty needs of the demanding professional or home user. E IND (Industrial Series) is EAB's highest quality line of blades, designed for the extreme working needs of woodworkers and commercial contractors. Before you buy, determine if you need GEN, IND, or PRO so you won't be disappointed.

Blade size.

While this may seem obvious, you may be surprised to learn that each tool requires the proper diameter blade to match the cutting requirements and specific RPM (speed) of the blade and saw. Using the wrong diameter blade and RPM mismatch can cause equipment damage and operator injury. When selecting the blade, carefully check the requirements of the power tool and the label on

the blade.

Number of Teeth. How many teeth should it have? Quantity does not always improve quality. Too many teeth cause a slow, burned cut, while too few teeth will give a very rough, chipped cut. A good rule of thumb, regardless of blade diameter or material thickness, is to have 2-4 teeth on the material being cut. This will produce the smoothest cut, optimal chip removal, the least amount of friction, and the least stress on your equipment. It also offers greater security.

It's all in the teeth. The teeth are the critical feature of any blade. The teeth determine the type of materials the blade can cut, the speed or control of its cut, the smoothness of the finished cut, and the life of the blade. All EAB blades are designed to achieve optimal results, regardless of blade type.

Carbide grade.

The carbide tooth grade will help determine the type of material to be cut and the expected life of a blade. You might think that a harder grade of carbide will hold its edge sharper longer and have a longer life. While this is true to an extent, it also depends on sharpness and usage. In general, softer carbide tips are more shock resistant and while harder tips will hold an edge better, they are more brittle. For example, C2 or C3 carbide blade tips are best for cutting wood and building materials on job sites. C4 and C6 blade tips are best for cutting melamine, plastics and metal products

Hook Angle.

The hook angle is the amount of forward or backward tilt of each tooth.grade hand saw blade A higher hook angle will give you a faster, more aggressive cutting speed, ideal for normal cuts and cross cutting wood. A low (less than 5°) or negative hook angle will give a smoother, slower cut, which is ideal when cutting hard or brittle materials such as melamine and metal materials. While low hook angle blades are ideal for cross cutting with mitre saws, they are not ideal for ripping on table saws.

As with any cutting device, the shape or configuration of the cutting edge determines how well it will perform. The design of a blade's teeth determines how well it will cut different materials and how long it will last:

is the most important final step in producing a quality blade. sharpening machines. These machines sharpen points to a mirror finish with 400, 650 and 1,000 grit diamond wheels. This means the blade you buy has the best advantage, to give you optimal performance and long life.
