The Sawblade.com bandsaw speed and feed wizard uses standard industry calculations to not only estimate cutting times for different metals and alloys,
but also to provide you with recommendations for band saw blade tooth pitch for your application.
This wizard is provided as a starting point only, it is not the end all, be all, for cutting.
There are many factors above and beyond the calculations that will determine your actual cutting speed and feed pressure.
Factors such as your machine, its horsepower, its feed system, whether it cuts guillotine style (horizontal/vertical), pivot style, or canted.
Lubrication also affects cutting times.
Since there is no way we can account for all factors, we are sticking to the basics; we try our best to get you started, but your common sense, experience, and results should determine your final settings.
