Choosing the right woodworking saw blade needs to consider the material of the wood, the following are some suggestions:
1.Softwood:such as pine,fir and so on.
For soft wood, you can choose a saw blade with relatively few teeth.Because softwood is soft in texture and does not require much cutting force, fewer teeth can increase cutting speed and reduce sawdust clogging.
The thickness of the saw blade can be slightly thinner, so that the cutting resistance is small, which can improve the processing efficiency and save materials.
2.Hardwood:such as oak,walnut and so on.
Hard wood requires more cutting force, so you should choose a saw blade with more teeth, which can make the cutting surface smoother and reduce burrs.
The thickness of the saw blade can be appropriately increased to ensure the stability of the saw blade when cutting hardwood and make it not easily deformed.
Priority should be given to saw blades made of carbide because of their high hardness and good wear resistance, which can better cope with the processing of hardwood and extend the service life of the saw blade.
3.Wood with knots or irregular grain
In this case, you should choose a saw blade with left or right teeth or flat-triple chip teeth, which will facilitate chip removal and effectively reduce saw jamming caused by knots, etc.
The tooth design of the saw blade should be able to better cope with irregular textures and ensure smooth cutting.
In short,when selecting a woodworking saw blade according to the material of the wood,you should consider factors such as the number of teeth,thickness,material,and tooth shape to to achieve the best processing effect and saw blade life.
