Model G0622 (Mfg 2/08+)

Blade Size

The Model G0622 accepts only

⁄2" x 0.025 x

⁄2" blades.

Tooth Pitch

Usually measured as TPI (Teeth Per Inch), tooth

pitch determines the size/number of the teeth.

More teeth per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower,

but smoother; while fewer teeth per inch (coarse

pitch) will cut rougher, but faster.

As a general rule, choose blades that will have at

least three teeth in the material at all times. Use

fine pitched blades on harder metals and coarse

pitched blades on softer metals. When select-

ing blades, refer to Figure 35 for recommended

blade tooth (TPI) and speed (FPM) based on the

workpiece material.

Blade Selection

Tooth Style

When selecting blades, another option to con-

sider is the shape, gullet size, teeth set and teeth

angle—otherwise known as “Tooth Style." Many

blade manufacturers offer variations of the four

basic styles shown in Figure 36.

Raker (or Standard)

Skip (or Skip Tooth)

Hook (or Claw)

Variable Pitch (VP)
